Paddy said that he wouldn't mind;
that he didn't want to interfere in

and then watch them work. So he

some tender roots of which he was
fond. These he ate and then sat on
the bank and watched the workers.
1T is nice not to have to work"
thought Paddy. Now those others

they don't they never will be ready
for cold weather. But I can be as
lazy as I please. There isn't thing

both probably will have to be patched
little and made ready for Winter,
but it isn't time for that yet. And,
of course, will have to cut and haul
a supply of food logs, enough to keep
us in bark all Winter But it isn't
time for that either. So now I can

A young Beaver was having trouble in

some mud. He swan over to where
the others were cutting young trees

Then he, too, began cut

Pigeon Hawk.
FaIco Columbarius.
FaIco Columbarius.
A, o. u. 357.


A LONG the edges of the open
" woods, close to the borders Of
~ streams, and where lone, dead
4 trees are available as lookout
towers, you may catch your
first glimpse of the pigeon hawk,
known as the little falcon or little blue
corporal.
AS far as making his acquaintance
is concerned, he is the least shy of
all the birds of this type. He resem-
bles very closely the wild pigeon, and
both birds have been killed, each mis-
taken for the other. He is smaller
than the duck hawk, but resembles
him slightly.
Though the swift hunter has wide
range, he Is not very common any
where. Perhaps his sins have been
the reason for his scarcity. He is
fierce hunter for birds, and that fault
is one we cannot abide. 1t is, we
know, natural for him to run down,
or, more properly speaking, fly down, a
helpless victim. We can do without
pigeon hawks, but not our valuable
birds, whose songs cheer us and whose
hunting free us from destructive pests.
In looking over the little corporal's
record, We can see nothing which
would recommend leniency or pardon.
His extremely expert hunting and
highly developed powers Of observation
are used to spy out some of our in
dustrious friends busily engaged in
lessening the hordes of determined
food eaters. So We say the handsome
fellow is really menace to society
and out he must go.
During the Winter he is happy in
the Gulf States, in Mexico, Ecuador,
Northern Venezuela and the West
Indies. Early in the Spring the family
| is headed for Eastern Canada, south
to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, North
ern Maine and Ontario. These birds
are also seen in Northern Michigan,
east to the border of the great plains.
Tall trees and ledges are preferred
nesting sites, although hollow trees
may sometimes be used. The nursery
is built of sticks, stems. grasses or
moss 1t Is well lined with feathers
and strips of inner bark. In the coZy
bed will be laid four to five white eggs,
we'll SplaShed with cinnamon brown, a
wreath of this color circling the larger
end
Furry birthday coats cover the wee
baby pigeon hawks. Their little sharp
beaks look very businesslike, and their
dispositions are hardly what you would
call angelic. True to baby nature,
they demand food as soon as they can
gather enough strength to call for it,
Small insects are given them and bits
of meat, either bird or mouse. They
are fast growers. and soon eat their
weight in nourishment. This means
that all small birds near the nursery
are sought. Birds have been known
to leave an unfinished home when
they found pigeon hawk lived next
door.
Hawks have no singing voice Even
when in a tender mood. their love
songs are merely repeated, Gao, cac,
cac's." OF course. lots of meaning

can be put into words that to us would
be meaningless.
Screams Of terror from your bird
friends will inform you Of the enemys
presence. Sometimes the victims have
been too paralyzed with fear TO voice
their own distress, and their SYM
pathizing neighbors have given the
warning. 1t is then too late to catch
the "feathered lightning" Your next
move Is to watch for him on his return
trip, for he will soon be hunting again
where he found his first victim.
The hunting tactics of the pigeon
hawk are like those of all falcons.
Their strong, swift wings enable them
to dash among a flock of birds before
they are aware of danger. From some
tree, the keen-eyed hunter has espied
the little Scngsters, and like some
fearful giant, Swooped down among

with a collar of rust or buff. The
primaries are barred with white. The
tail has three or four distinct, grayiSh-
white bars and white tip. The con-
trast of black and white bands On the
tail makes it easy for you to identify
the little villain, if you can see him
when he is perching. His under parts
vary from an ivory buff to deep
ochraceous, with a pattern of black
streakS. The throat is lighter, with
fewer black marks. The younger
generation has upper parts of brownish
fuscous, broken collar of buff on
the nape. their tails having three or
four incomplete bars of buff. Their
under parts resemble those of their
parents.

"DEAR MRS. POST: Do you con-
consider it correct for me to
open the door to mothers friends, or
do you agree that it puts me in the
place of a hired girl? And is 1t cor
rect for a girl of IS to run out and
open the gate for the minister's wife,
who walks with a stick, but is quite
spry all the same? wouldn't it be
more correct for me to remain seated
in the living room, when unexpected
callers come, or should I leave the
room before they enter it?"

word correct" and focused, instead,
on such words as kind, thoughtful,

The word correct matters, when
it involves ceremony or taste or ease

at home with them. One of
the first things they did was to invite
him to inspect the dam they were
building. The leader Of the four other
Beavers took him all over it and he
examined it carefully from end to end
and above and below.
The location had been well chosen.
"You could hardly have done better"
said he, approvingly, whereat the other
was much pleased.
How much of pond do you intend
to make?" asked Paddy.
Just big enough for a house and
food-pile with water enough so that
it will not freeze at the bottom. That
is all we will have time for this year.
There are plenty Of food trees we
can cut close at hand. Later, when
these have all been cut, we will need
a bigger pond so that the water will
set back nearer the trees that are
farther away. So next year. when We
