Hftrlbutlon soon or 1st* Will be th« evildoer’v fate. —Old Mother Nature. How Chatterer Got Even. Sammy Jay, the dishonest watch man, thought himself very smart as he made his way back home to the Green Forest by a roundabout way. lie chuckled all the way. He had stolen the eggs of Welcome and Mrs. Robin, and no one had suspected him. Chatterer the Red Squirrel had been blamed for it. So Sammy Jay chuckled wickedly and thought him self very smart. But as Sammy drew near the hem lock tree near the edge of the Green Forest, where his nest had been care fully hidden, there was a shriek from Mrs. Jay which startled Sammy and sent him to flying as fast as he could make his wings go. “I wonder what has happened?” thought Sammy. “What can be the matter with Mrs. Jay? I wonder if she has been hurt?” Mrs. Jay continued to scream, and Sammy flew so fast that he was almost out of breath when he arrived in the hemlock tree. “What is it, my dear?" he cried anxiously. “What are you screaming so for? What is the matter?” For answer Mrs. Jay merely nodded towards their neat. One look In It was enough. There were no eggs What is it, my dear?" he cried anx iously there! There were some broken shells, but that was all. Sammy Jay knew then just how Welcome Robin felt. Never In his life had he been more upset. But if he felt badly, it was nothing to the w-ay Mrs. Jay felt. Sammy tried to comfort her, but she wouldn't be comforted. “Do you know who the thief is?” Sammy asked. “No,” replied Mrs. Jay, shaking her head. “I was gone only a few minutes, but when I returned those eggs had been stolen and no one was to be seen about.” "It must have been that good-for nothing cousin of mine. Blacky the Crow!” muttered Sammy. "Yes, sir, It must have been Blacky. Tell me. my dear, why did you leave the nest?” Mrs. Jay hung her head. "There was a great racket going on over In the Old Orchard,” said she, "and I just couldn’t sit still and not know what It wassail about. I stood it as long as I could and then flew over there to see what was going on. Our feathered neighbors over there were driving Chatterer the Red Squirrel out of the Old Orchard. After Chat terer had disappeared I stopped to get something to eat. When I got back here I found things just as you see them now. I guess Blacky the Crow must have been watching to see me leave the nest.” Just then from a short distance away in the Green Forest there was a sharp, loud “chir-r-r-r-r-r.” It was the voice of Chatterer the Red Squlr-. rel. It fairly rang with joy and triumph. No one hearing It would for an Instant doubt that Chatterer was, feeling very well satisfied and pleased. Sammy Jay cocked liis head to one side and listened. He turned to look at Mrs. ‘Jay and he saw in her eyes the same look of suspicion which she saw in his eyes. “Do you suppose It was that red coated thief?” they exclaimed to gether. A moment later they were sure it was, for they caught sight of Blacky the Crow high In the sky over in the direction of the Green Mea dows. He couldn't have stolen those eggs and gotten way over there. As for Chatterer, that re-coated scamp was filled with glee. He had had the breakfast of eggs he had so wanted, and at the same time he had gotten even with Samqjy Jay for driving him out of the Old Orchard. He had just happened to be passing when Mrs. Jay left the nest, and had at once made the most of his chance. (Copyright, 1924.)
