when they were - considered : old enough
to eat grain. . / :
There were several handsome varie
ties of . pigeons in i the cot. Among
these were : the jacobins, with their
high rulXs of feathers about the neck)
the "little fat tumblers, so called be
cause of their trick of turning over and
over when' they .descended, . and the
pouters, odd -looking -creatures \vith
breasts much dilated by: a peculiar
swelling of the esophagus.'-. These took
great pride in their superiori birth and
looked down upon the ordinary, pigeons,
who, in turn, scorned the aristocrats' of
the cot, saying/ that they were the re
publican descendants of .rock dwelling
pigeons and, like all mountaineers, lov
ed liberty better than anything else in
theiworld. '/-: ..- 'r
"And why don't 'we get' a little more
of it?" grumbled the little Gray Pigeon.
"Here we live in a bare little cot, and
if we are not here at feeding time we
can go without our meals./ I mean, to
fly away and see the world."
So fly away he did, his stout, pointed
wings carrying him swiftly far over the
landscape. - He could hot, as he had
expected to do, find any of the republic
an pigeons who make their /homes

Mr Crigler 'reached ■'-.■.Keyser, / and .while
wasting for. his wife^to arrive, he strolled;
into. a blacksmith's shop.-vwhich trade he
himself hadi followed for many years. ;
In course 'of conversation, the Keyser

years before his father had 'stood ; there

He had witnessed the awful .scene.;. and;

the father .had been •killed.:

of -his fa ther's/ tragic ?death,?had: him

"'itiis/is extremely odd!" the Gray Pi
geon exclaimed. '"I expected to find
the woods full of ray wild cousins." ; :
He walked about over' the/ground
looking for something to eat, but could
find nothing. Hungry, and thirsty, -he
perched on the limb of a bare tree and
for the first time in his young life went
to sleep supperless. - ~ ' • ■
" ."Liberty isn't what it is cracked , up
to be!" the- pigeon sighed as he dozed
off- to dream of J the /despised home

iwhere he had' been kept warm and dry.
in a scrupulously clean cot washed out
once a week :by the little boy who
owned it and knew ; that birds •, do not
like to live in dirty rooms any better
than respectable human beings do. -
In/JLhe morning when he; awoke he
heard a fierce shriek overhead and had
just time > to dart ; away and escape the
clutches of a big -hawk, ; a fierce^ bird so
impudent as sometimes ; to attack caged
birds on verandas. Gray- Pigeon dared
not light until he had.put several miles
between himself and his fierce pursuer.
! Just a quarter of a mile away he no
.ticed pigeons flying ; inj. and '} out of % a
small, building.; ;They ; . were not hardy
rock ■ dwelling > pigeons; 1 ; -but^domestic
ones, but Gray Pigeon w;as glad to join
them- in. order to get? a meal. After he
had satisfied his hunger i he crept into
one of the pigeon houses,-; quite : a large
buildingilined with^ boxes /and ; perches.'
He was in his first nap- when several
men came in .with /hampers:/ He was
packed into/one • of /the hampers with
others. -For; several hours they Jolted
about; and when at; last the -basket was J
allowed to rest Gray Pigeon obuld hear
a crowd of people talking outside.
■ "Finally, the ? basket lid ./was opened,
arid the birds rose into the air. A dozen
shots! rang but, /arid- a number of Gray

ONCE there 1 was a-proud 'and lux
urious cat who, although he re
.; ceived nothing -but tidbits of
. "chicken and dainty pieces^ of
fish, was so fastidious that he often
scorned air these good things. ,
; A changa in fortune made his master
so poor . that he could not afford a loaf
of bread for his children; and so puss
hadto skirmish for- a living. "This isj
hard luck," said pussy. >
;: At first he fared far from well, but
he soon recovered from that early fas
tidiousness- Often the cat could scarce*
ly rnafce. both -ends meet, and a scrap
from agarbage heap tasted ■be tter than
.delicacies in the old days.; 'He became
so humble tha t he thought = himself well
