outer tail feathers are black, with
irregular oblique olive and white lines.
Because of the long tail feathers,
the birds seek the high limbs Of
trees, letting the beautiful tail swing
down. Their crimson faces like vel
vet and beautiful dark eyes are
fitting color contrast to the pun Ole
and white. Few birds could achieve
such charm and beauty as the silver
pheasant with its background of lush
green foliage.
Perhaps their beauty has been the
reason why, along with the golden
pheasant, they are so popular in cap
tivity. They are both lovers of the
widest part OF their range. and it
is said to be next to impossible to
find their cleverly hidden nests, yet
these birds. deprived of their freedom
will lay eggs that will produce young
silver pheasants that will mature. In
their home woods they are shot and
trapped by the natives, for pheasants
have a fine favor, and in many
places their white feathers are in
demand.
The silver pheasant male Is a
rather pugracious fellow and does not
fratern!ze well with other birds. At
court!ng time he indulges in many
stunts to attract the attention of his
lazy love and his wing whirring, to-
gether with his deep cultural cry,
is kept up until he is accepted. Even
though he remains true to his mate.
which his tribe is noted for he courts
her as ardently each year, is as con-
siderate of her during the long days
OF lncubating the eggs and as proud
and protective Of his young as the
first year they wer. ed.
Rarely does the proud husband and
father leave his family to take care
OF themselves while the babies are
small. In captivity. dogs and cats
art sometimes quite determined to
break up the happy family. The
mother is brave and she does not
hesitate to Join her husband in the
defense of their young.
Perhaps this coming spring YOU
may witness the courtship of silver
pheasant. OF course, moving pictures

the nests Of some Of your smaller
neighbors in the spring when you hap
pen to find them?" asked Butcher
slyly.
Blacky looked confused. "Well, big
active fellow like me needs little meat
once in a WHILE" he explained rather
lamely.
"You don't mean needs, but wants"
retorted Butcher. There is plenty of
other food for you at that time of year.
You haven't any real excuse for taking
those baby birds and you know it. Now
with me it is different, very different
indeed. I wouldn't be hunting my
feathered neighbors If there was any
other food could eat. I don't bother
them in the spring and summer. But
If fellow would live he must eat"
But that is no excuse for killing
more than you can eat" retorted
Blacky heatedly.
Nov wait minute! Wait a min

I can eat?" cried Butcher angrily.
"You don't condemn Chatterer the
Red Squirrel for gathering more nuts
than he can eat at one time, do your"
That's different" snapped Blacky.
I'm not fond of Chatterer but I'll
admit that he is smart He is thrifty
He gets those nuts while he can and
puts them away for a time when
otherwise he could get none"
"Just so," retorted Butcher. "He
is an opportunist. He gets the nuts

the lovely silver pheasant in
its native home. It is one of the
loveliest spots you can imagine. There
is soft velvety cloak of green over
the low shrubs, a plush carpet of a
deeper shade covers the slopes, and
through the air there come the hum
and buzz of myriads of lusty insects,
Great healthy ferns cover most Of
the ground. There is q stream Of
quiet water in the open valley, and
from its vantage point In some tree,
the pheasant can watch the busy rice
workers toll the whole day through.
Then, perhaps. you may train your
field glasses on q spot that glistens
like silver, and look with stilled
breath at the beautiful male pheasant.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
The opportunist, while he may,
Takes whatever comes his way.
Butcher the Shrike.

AN OPPORTUN1ST is, you know,
one who makes the most of op-
portunity. Butcher the Shrike is an
opportunist. He admits it. He told
Blacky the Crow so. It takes lot to
shock Blacky the Grow, but Blacky
had been really shocked by finding
three members Of the flock Of Bully
the English Sparrow killed by
Butcher and hung up in a tree with
Butcher sitting nearby and freely ad-
mitting that they were more than he
could eat at one time. and that he
wasn't hungry anyway. Blacky had
Indignantly accused Butcher Of being
no better than Shadow the Weasel,
who kills for food but also Just for ex-
citement. Butcher had denied this,
saying that he was merely an oppor-
tunist.
Blacky looked at him sharply.
What do you mean by opportunist?"
he demanded.
Il get while the getting is good" :"
replied Butcher.
You mean you kill when you have
q chance just because you have the
chance and not because you are hun
cry. Is that it?" said Blacky.
1T amounts to something like that,
although I wouldn't put 1t Just that
way" replied Butcher.
Then you belong in the same class
with Shadow the Weasel and you ought
to be driven back where you came
FROM" retorted Blacky ceverely. "You
are disgrace to the feathered race.
No others kill excepting when they are
hungry or have young to feed. They
kill only when there Is need"
What about you?" asked Butcher,
"Me7 Well, what about me? I'm
not . killer" cried Baacay Indignantly.

West opened his singleton spade,
and overlook East's queen with the
ace. ! then trumped the trey of dia-
monds At that point there were,
thought. two ways to play the hand
either return to my hand twice, hop
ing that West had two clubs to fol-
low on my leads, or hope that the
double was made on three hearts
headed by the ace-king and that by
leading trumps would lose only
two trump tricks and probably a
diamond trick I tried the trump
lead, West taking his ace and king
and leading q third round, thereby
exhausting trumps in dummy For
some unaccountable reason, instead
OF picking up the last trump in Vests
hand. then lead the ten Of spades,
which he trumped and set me two
tricks by leading the ace and king
Of diamonds.
After the hand was over I could
zee how easy 1t would have been to
make the bid and possibly an extra
trick"
1t is really too bad, M. j. r., that
you forgot that West still held q
trump. because your opponents had
certainly presented you with your
contract. Without commenting too
much on North's bidding, which was
exceedingly "bullish," we would like
TO analy0e the play. In the first place.
West, with his powerful trump hold.
ing, should have opened his own
diamond suit When long in the op-
ponents' trumps, it Is almost always
good tactics to lead your own strong
est suit with the intention of forcing
oeclarer. Why East put Up the queen
OF spades when the opening lead was
obviously q singleton We are unable
70 1athom; but his horrible play
should have solved all your prob
lens. You should have noted that
with the exception Of trumps, all dunn
my's cards were high; and instead Of
shortenine dummy's trump holding by
Leading . diamond, the proper play
was to lead the queen Of hearts. II
West then led q diamond, forcing
dummy to trump. you could lead q
spade to your hand, allowing West to
make one extra trump trick, In this
way insuring your contract by holding
the defense to three tricks, all in
trumps.
And. finally, Vests play of the
ace-king and another trump, when
he could see that dummy's spade suit
would furnish discards Of all your
diamond losers, was as bad as his
partners play Of the queen of spades.
Our final conclusion Is that you failed
to draw the last trump because you
could not receive SO much kindness
without doing something in return.
