At that very instant Peter happen od to look over to Farmer Browns house, and there was another gray and white bird just alighting in the vine on Farmer Browns house. From where he sat Peter could see that this feathered neighbor was making his breakfast on berries that were still on that vine. Peter swal- lowed hard a couple of times as though he had lump in his throat If this wasn't Mocker the Hooking Bird. then Peter didn't know Mocker Whcn he saw him. This was the one ne had seen q few days before. Now he knew that his eyes had not de- reived him. Ut was MoCker! It is! It is, As surely as I can sit on my own tail, it is MoCker the Mocking Bird" sait Peter 10 himself. "Of course, it cant be, but it is. Butcher inc Shrike wouldn't be eating ber- rics. But how can MoCker, who be- longs down in the Sunny South, live 1p hero in the land of snow and ice? I must look into this. l certainly must look into this. This is the most surprising thing l ever heard of. l remember that Welcome Robin once spent the winter here, but Welcome belongs up here. anyway, and Mock TT doesn't, even in the summer lime. There's Sammy Jay I'll see what Sammy knows about it, Hi, sammy Jay."
 sammy Jay, who was flying over Peter, looked down and saw him. He at once alighted just above Peters head. My goodness Peter" eX- claimed Sammy. What is the mat. 'er with your eves?'
 Nothing is the matter with my eyes" retorted Peter rather shortly.
 They look big enough for you to have seen a ghost" retorted Sam my.
 Well. I haven't seen ghost" re- piled Pctcr but I have seen Mock TT inc Mocking Bird"
 Peter eagerly watched Sammy Jay TOT a look of surprise. But Sammy didn't look surprised at all, "Well, what of it?" said Sammy. "I have seen Mocker the Mocking Bird every day for most of the winter SC far" "Wha-wha-wha did you say?' cried Peter,
 "I said that I had seen Mocker inc Mocking Bird every day for most of The winter so far. What is there wonderful about that?' replied | Sammy.
 Then he really is spending the winter up here?" cried Peter.
