1t was this way: He had been wan
dering through the Old Orchard with
nothing to do but try to bully whom
ever he met, when at last he came
to the far corner, where Johnny and
Polly Chuck live. In the very tree
under which they have made their
house he discovered a nest different
from any nest which he had ever
seen before. In his usual bold way
he started over to look at it.
Better keep away from there!"
said sharp voice.
Bully looked up to see trim-look-
ing gentleman with a white waist
coat sitting on a branch of the old
apple tree. He was larger than
Bully, but not nearly as large as
Welcome Robin or Goldie the ORR
ole, both of whom he had whipped
that very morning. At least he
thought he had whipped them,
though the truth is they simply had
refused to fight
II could whip that fellow with my
wings tied" thought Bully and went
right on.
II told you you had better keep
away from therei" said the trim
looking gentleman with the white
waistcoat
Who'll make me?" demanded
Bully.
81 will" retorted the other.
Lets see you do it," retorted
Bully.
The words were hardly out of his
mouth when something hit him and
knocked him Sprawling. Before he
could quite get his breath it seemed
to him that the air was full of sharp
bills. When he tried to strike back
there was no one there. 1t was too
much for Bully, and he turned tail
and flew away. But as he flew he
was knocked down again and lost
several feathers. So it went for
quite a distance back through the
Old Orchard, Bully trying his very
best to get away and this trim gen.
tleman with the white waiStcoat
knocking him down and pulling out
feathers until Bully's coat was a
sight. It was with something like a
sob of relief that at last he found
himself free.
81 guess ! made a mistake" said
Bully to Mrs. Bully as he explained
how he had got his clothes so badly
torn.
He was right. He had made a
mistake. He had tried to bully

as easily as does fine china of other
countries. Most Of the English pot
tiers have since adopted a similar
formula which we know as ''bone
china"
Another important lure OF spode
is that you can always replace .
broken piece in any pattern because
no design is ever discontinued. In
short, open stock" in spode really
means what it says. And the pat
terms themselves are very lovely.
Many Of the older ones show the
influence Of the Chinese designs thar
were pouring into England during
the Eighteenth century. Later spods
patterns reflect English garden iow-
ers and chintz floral effects. One Of
the Oldest spode patterns, blue
Towers" is scenic which in said

fact that what he calls independence
is forever getting him into trouble.
To begin with it had made an
enemy for him of everybody who
lived in the Old Orchard There was
not one who would so much as
speak to him. But he didn't care.
Not hel He dearly loves to fight,
does Bully, and SO without any rea-
son whatever, except to show his in
dependence and how fearless he is,
he would attack his neighbors with
out any warning and then laugh
at them when they flew away. He
called them towards. He hasn't to
this day learned. and wouldn't be-
lieve if he was told, that the cow
ard, the real coward. is he who
fights without cause. So he went
about through the Old Orchard max
ing things very uncomfortable for
all his neighbors until at last one
day he made a mistake.
