And you are Known for what you are — Farmer Brown’s Hoy. A Stranger Appear*. There was a stranger in the Green Forest. Where he had come from no one seemed to know. Ho had stid denly appeared, made himself at home, and that is all any one knew about him. So one knew who he was. Sow strangers ate always dis trusted at first. Kverybody is sus picious of them. So the stranger was left very much to himself, but lie appeared not to mind in the least. Farmer Brown's Boy first saw him early the second morning after the opening of the sugar camp. He was perched oil the roof of the little sugar mere he are if, without so iinieii as Haying thank you. house. He was just a wee bit larger than Sammy Jay, but there was none of Sammy's bright color. In fact, he was very modestly dressed. Farm er Brown's Boy stared at him for a moment or two. '•Well,” said he, "who are you? If T didn't know hotter I would think that you are Tommy Tit the <'hi« k;i dec grown to be a giant. Yes, sir, 1 would think just that.’ Am a matter of fact the stranger’s dress quite resembled that of Tommy Tit. It was mostly black and gray with a little white. Beneath he was wholly ashy gray. There was white on his throat, sides of his neck and the fore part of his head. The back of Ins head was black, and his back was gray. His wings and tail weir, gray with most of the feathers tipped with white. As he sat there watching) Farmer Brown's Floy his feathers np pea red so soft and fluffy that he looked almost as if he had a fur cor t. The stranger flew down and alight ed on the handle of the ax. which was standing only a few feet from where Farmer Brown's Boy stood. He eyed Farmer Brown's Boy sharply, but there was no fear in his eyes. He said nothing, but after looking at Farmer Brown's Boy fi#r a moment or two fMw over and alighted on the| top of the door of the sugar house which wax standing open. * Then he leaned forward und peeled Inside on if he were thinking of making him self at home In there. A broad smile swept over the freckled face of Fanner Brown's Boy. "1 know you now.” he cried. "I've never set n you before, hut I've heard about you. You nre Sammy .lav's cousin from way up North. You are the Canada day, and you are called Whisky ilsck, though some folks call yn i Moose Bird and others call you Cantp Bobber. My. It must h ue been a hard winter up North to have sent you down h»re;'' Hti'i the s'i anger made no reply. ITe flew down to the ground, and picked up some scraps of food lhat Farmer Brown's Boy had thrown out side. Farmer Brown’s Boy went into ihe little sugar house and brought out a scrap rf meat. He put It on a lo" and stepped back a few feet. Without hesitating a second, Whisky Jack flew' over to the log, picked up the bit of meat and flew up in a tree with it. There he ate it without so much as saying thank you. Then he looked at Farmer Brown's Boy a« much as to say, “How about another piece?” Farmer Brown’s Bov' chuckled. “You are the boldest fellow I have ever seen on such short acquaint ance.” he declared. "How do you know that I won't hurt you?” Whisky Jack said nothing, but once more flew’ over to the top of tlie open door and peered into the little sugar house.
