"1 hnve. too," snld Mr. Bluejny.
And they both whistled and screamed
nnd snld:
"How cood It Is to be n bluolnv nnil
not be so good we can't steal. Ah.
we're thieves, we're robbers."
"Well," snld Nutty Chum, the snnlr-
tel, who was near by, "so you ndmlt -Hint
you stenl, do you? Now. I know
who took my nuts. You like to tret
nuts nnd keen them so when von nr
short of food you will have something
hidden awny."
"Thnt's u good thlnir to do." said
Mr. Bluejny. "It shows a snvlnir dis
position."
"It's not so fine to save." snld Nuttv
Chum, "when you have to stenl first.
You should go without things nnd
save In that wny. Be unsolfish."
"My dear Nutty Chum." said Mrs.
Bluejuy, "If I were you I would prac

"You are robbers nnd thieves."
"Well, so are you." snld Nuttv
tjnum.
"We'd be friendly." said Mr. Blue-
Jay, "If we didn't stenl from each
other."
"Yes," snld Nutty Chum, "we could
go Into partnership. Everythlne you
steni you could clve to us nnd overv-
tiung we steal we could keen for our
selves."
"That's a fine sort of n nnrtnershln."
said Mr. Bluejay.
"Tho kind of a partnershln I would
suggest," said Mrs. Bluejay. "would
ne a Kind where wo took evervthinc
we stole ourselves nnd called ourselves
the heads of the firm."
i guess," said Nutty Chum, "wo
won't agree on the heads of the firm,
so we had better not go into nartner-

"We'd better not." said Mr. Blue.
Jay, "unless you come to terms nml

"I most certainly won't." said Nuttv
Chum. "And the very Idea of suttirest.
Ing such a thing. Why, you're more
man robbers. You're imnertlnont.
"So are you," said Mr. JJluelav. nnd
his voice sounded n little like the
scolding voice of Nuttv Chum, for Mr.
Bluejay was fond of making fun of
others.
Nutty Chum went away after awhile.

"I've stolen birds' eggs, straw' from
a nest and twigs." said Mrs. Bluejay.
"I'm going to nest In that young pine
tree, over there, and lay four blue
green eggs with brown specks."
"I've stolen eggs, too," said Mr.
Bluejay. i
"We're robbers, all right," said Mrs.
Bluejny.
"Yes," said Ir. Bluejay, "we are,
but we are handsome robbers. We're
beautiful birds, too."
"That's so, we are," said Mrs. Blue
Jay. "But I don't suppose It Is any
comfort to the creatures wo steal
from to know that beautiful birds
stole from them. They think we're
ugly, because we're robbers."
"Well, I don't know that I blnme
them when I think about It," said Mr.
Bluejay. "It's not much comfort to
think that those who robbed them
were beautiful, and It. Is said that wo
are so naughty."
"Snd." snld Mrs. Bluejny. "but what
are we going to do about It?"
"We'll always be naughty," winked
Mr. Bluejny.
"And we'll" alwnys be robbers, too,"
shrieked Mm Bluejay
