The nest was finished the next day,

an egg in it. but it was an egg that

had laid 1t there. Sally Sly knew II
was there. even before she had a chance
to peep into the nest. She knew 1t by
the way Little Friend sang. She knew
it by the air OF Importance which Mrs.
Sparrow wore. SO Sally Sly made Y
! her business to keep in the neighbof-

she was waiting for a chalice when that

she left an egg. 1t was half again as

Mrs. Sparrow did not stay long to
watch Mr.. Blacksnake. All the time

after she left the nest when she re-
turned to it. Such a look of disn1ay as
there was on her face when she dis
covered two eggs instead OF one In that
nest! At first she didn't know what
to make of 1t. Then she remembered
Sally Sly. And, although this was the

Sally Sly'S eggs. she didn't have a
moment of doubt as to whose egg II

Very soon Little Friend heard her and
