Now, Redtail had trick all his

Presently, when he felt that he was

saw one Of those Crows starting to
dart down at him. Then he just
turned right over on his back In the

The Crow had already started down,
and this move by Redtail was so un-

managed to turn before he was quite

him in those dreadful claws. How

SURPRISING that of the similar month
last year by substantial margin.
While the recording Of deeds and

the county clerk fell slightly below

figure for 1885 showed a sharp Jump
from February Of 1885. For this
February there were a total of 213

ton with the transfer of real estate,
since the February figure jumped only

January gross. Last month, permits
totaling $16,750 were issued In the
ofice Of the commissioner of the
revenue, and in January the total was
$4,000.
Opening of a new subdivision near
Franconia, Guilford, section B. was re-

section, because of its proximity both
to Alexandria and Washington and the
fact it is located off heavily Travelled

that the advent of seasonal weather

It wasn't long before Redtail was
back with another. He came back
alone. After hasGy look in all di-
rections, to be sure that Mrs. Redtail
wasn't near, the Crows left their
hiding place and, with Blacky In the
lead, darted at Redtail Just as he
took to his wings. The plan of attack
was to keep above him. Above him
those Crows knew they were safe, and
safety was the one thing that con-

Redtail tapped his wings rather
heavily, for. you know, he was just
