Cav, cav. cav! Ca~a-aw, cav, caW:" Ii was only two or three minutes
 later that Blacky and his compan- ions arrived. Such an excited caw- Ing as took place then, They all talked at the same time. You sec. they had expected 10 find one of their neighbors over there with something interesting. for Mocker
 had called them in just the way that
 they call each other when they have found something of general interest
 They had expected to find an Owl
 that they could tease. Not finding
 any one, they were much puzzled;
 and being puzzled, they had 10 talk
 about it.
 But Blacky the Crow is not one 10
 he easily fooled for long. He has a
 pair Of tho sharpcSt eyes in all inc Green Forest, and he now proceed cd 10 make use of them. While the others were talking Blackv went about, peoring in between the branches of all the trees right around there. He suspected someone was hiding. So it was that he dis covered Mocker, the Mocking Bird. Now Blacky didn't know that Mock or could talk crow talk, hut he did know that Mockcr could initiate many other birds. and he suspected right away that Mocker had been playing a joke.
 Cav, cav, raw!" screamed Rlacky. Here he is. Here he is. Her" Is the one who has called Ills over here for nothing. Let's teach him q lesson. He has no business 10 be mp here in the winter, any way"
 Instantly all the other crows came Hooking over there. Poor Mocker, He wished he had kept his tongue still. Indeed. he did! Those crows were so big and there were so many of them that Mocker was frightened half to death. He took 10 his wings at once. Instantly all the crows led by l3lacky, weres after him. all screaming at the top of their lungs. This was the kind of fun they liked. They really didn't care particularly about catching Mocker They liked the fun of tho chase. They liked 10 he getting even with him. They liked 10 think how scared he was
 And Mocker was scared. He never had been more scared in all his life. Where do you think he flew to? Why, he flew right straight over to ihe porch of Farmer Browns house. He was sure that those crows dare come there. and in this he was right But you may be sure that that was the last joke that Mocller inc Mocking Bird tried for long time.

 When l learned the price of rooms at the hotel 10 which the travellers aid had sent me, I was filled with condemnation. Bnt. nothing dauntcd, I decided if would be best for me 10 stay where l was for the night at least.
 After I had taken bath and pre- pared myself for dinner. I felt bet fer and decided that I'd go 10 some restaurant for my dinner even If I were alone. l would not go back on All my brave resolutions. I would give this thing that I had started on Il good chance. I would see for my self if girl could get along alone in q big city as well as man.
 However, it was with great trepi- dAtion that I entered one of the larg- est restaurants in town and. as learned afterwards. the most ex- pensive.
