someone comes poking around his
home as Bully did yesterday. But
Bully isn't likely to bother him
again, and as he lives down in the
far corner of the Old Orchard he
isn't likely to come up here looking
for trouble. You know, he never
goes far from home. You might
ask him, but ! don't believe it will
be of the least bit of USE"
Nothing gained in this world
without trying" replied Jenny. "Pll
go ask him right away"
In almost no time at all she was
back. 1T was just as you said it
would be-" said She HE says that
this is free country, and that Bully
has just as much right here as we
have. AS long as Bully doesn't both
er him he has no quarrel with him.
We've got to think of some other
way of getting rid of him."
"Of course" said Drummer, after
they had thought and thought, 1--WE
don't want any real harm to come to
Bully or Mrs. Bully, but if some
thing could happen to their home
perhaps they would 60 away. Now,
if Sammy Jay should take it into
his head that their eggs would make
him a good breakfast they might,
they just might, get discouraged and
move aWay."
Nothing doing" replied Jen-
ny, promptly. THAT hole where
their nest is in is too deep for Sam
my to reach the eggs, as you ought
to very well know, for you made it.
But the idea is good one. Now, ]
wonder if Chatterer the Red SPUR
rel wouldn't be interested if he knew
that there are eggs there. I be-
lieve I'll just put flea in his ear,
as the saying is. OF course, it
doesn't seem right, but we have got
to do something. We can't 60 on
this way. OF course wouldn't even
suggest such a thing to Chatterer
as stealing those eggs. That would
be too dreadful. But if he should
hear that there are eggs there he
might, he just might, take notion
that he wanted them. There he is
now over on the Old Stone Wall. ]
believe I'll just fly over and pass
the time of day with him."
