CHAPTER II.
The Fighting Kingbirds.
Peggy Is summoned to attend the trial
of Blue Jay tor stealing General Swallow's
bride. She starts for Blrdland In a won
derful aerial chariot supported and drawn j
by Birds. On the way they are attacked by j
a large flock of Crows.) j
THE Crows raced eagerly toward
Peggy's train. The Bluebirds,
the Warblers, and the Tanagers
seemed such easy prey that they were
keen to attack. They had not had
good hunting that day ana teit no
jiesuauon aooui uiaKiux a mcai uui
of smaller Birds.
Pfggy. knowing how self-preservation
is the first law of the Birds, ex
pected any moment to have the Scar
let Tanagers drop her and flee. But
they did not. They bravely held fast
to the c.ariot, which the Bluebirds
pulled along as fast as they could fly.
The Yellow Warblers, which were
fr sav tliptnsplvpc rhncp rather
to stand by Peggy
Just as the swiftest of the Crows
carted ahead to begin the attack,
there came shrill battle cries from be
neath the chariot
"Thseel Thsssl Thseel Fight!
Fight! , Fight!"
Up at the Crows earns the King
birds Peggy thought they had fled. But
they had no idea of fleeing. They
were so eager for a battle with the
Crows that they had hidden just to
make the Crows think the other
Birds were defenseless. Then when
the Crows, taking cowardly advantage
of their size and numbeis, had swept
down on supposed easy prey, the
Kingbirds were ready to give them
the surprise of their lives."
When the first Crows saw the King
birds they stood right up on their
t.-.ils trying to stop their swift rush.
But the other Crows coming along
like t swift flowing river swept them
forward.
The Kingbirds pitched into the lead
ing Crows with a fury that made
the black feathers fly. The Crows
squawked an screeched. They had
no desire to fight the pugnacious
Kirgbirds, and so tried to run away.
When they turned they became tan
gled up with the Crows behind them.
Instantly the whole Crow army was
thrown into a mad panic. Crow
fought Crow, pecking, tearing, claw
ing. The whole mass had onlv one
idea to escape from .'the wrath of
these small winged terrors. It was a
case of attackers being attacked, and
they weren't brave enough to strike
back. .
The Kingbirds added to the con
fusion by hoverinn above the strug
gling bunch of Crows, and darting
down tor repeated slashing attacks.
Every peck of a Kingbird struck
home, and the Crows screeched the
louder and fought the harder among
themselves to escape.
Peggy, alarmed as she had been,
now couldn't help laughingi The
Crows were getting just what they
deserved. And they were so scared
that they were doing more harm
among themselves than the King
birds could possibly do. Indeed, there
weref so many Crows that if they
hadn't been cowardly bullies they
might have beaten the Kingbirds
by force of numbers alone.
Beneath the fray it looked r
though a black snowstorm were rag
ing. This was caused by the feathers
the Crows were tearing out of each
otherwith quite a number contribu
ted by the. slashing smashes of the
'Kingbirds.
The Crows on the outer fringe of
the row fled when they saw the battle
ahead and soon the tangled mass
cleared up yy all could use their
wings. Then how the Crows streaked
it for himel And the Kingbirds
spurred them on with furious dashes
among them.
Peggy had all sorts of thrills
watching the affray. It was like see
lag an exciting foot ball game from a
"TWO," SAID JUDGE OWL. "THE
FINE IS PAID."
reserved seat Only her comfortable
throne, floating about in the air, was
better than any reserved seat she had
ever been in.
Officer Martin did not follow the
pursuit of the Crows. Instead he
led the way straight for Birdland.
The Kingbirds chased the Crows into
a heavy forest, then remembered
their duty as guards and came hurry
ing back. Not one of them had lost a
feather, and they were as fresh and
noisy as if they had just been having
a frolic among themselves, instead of
putting a whole arniy to rout.
Judge Owl had his court in a
rocky ravine not far from the castle
of the Giant of the Woods. It was
already in session when the Scarlet
Tanagers softly lowered the aerial
chariot to the ground and Peggy
stepped out to greet the Birds.
"Hello, every one I" she called' out
cheerfully.
Judge Owl, seated on a big flat rock
high above the others, frowned down
upon her severely as he hooted a
scolding:
"There's a place for noise.
And a place for boys, '
And usually it's the samel
But here In my court
Is no room for sport,
And levity's not In the game."
."So, Princess Peggy," continued
Judge Owl, solemnly, "I am obliged
to punish you for disturbing the dig
nity of my tribunal. Bailiff,' will you
kindly conduct the prisoner forward?"
Blue Heron, looking very officious,
towered above Peggy. In one claw he
carried, a club larger than that of
Officer Martin.
Peggy was a bit disappointed and
puzzled by such a reception. She had
expected something far different
when she had been brought there in
such a beautiful aerial chariot She
hung back in embarrassment, but
Blue Heron gave her a little thump
with his club that sent her forward in
a hurry. It didn't hurt but it carried
the threat of a greater whack if she
didn't take the hint
Judge Owl glared down at her.'
"Princess Peggy," he said, "your
offense is very serious and I must
make the punishment fit the crime. I
sentence you to pay two laughs to
this court."
This, sentence seemed so absurd to
Peggy that she burst right out in a
peal of laughter.
"Onel" said Judge Owl. u
"One," repeated Blue Heron.
"One," said Officer Martin and all the
Birds. They did it so solemnly that
Peggy burst out in a ringing "ha, ha,
ha 1"
"Two," said Judge Owl. ,"The fine
is paid. Bring in Blue Jay and his
pals."
There was a great stir as Kingfish
er, Blue Heron and Officer Martin
ushered the prisoners into court, and
Peggy saved the third laugh which
bubbled to her lips. She might need
it later on.
(Tomorrow will He described the opening
of the trial and the strange position in
which Peggy finds herself.)

Children Are Now
Organizing Canning
Clubs for Winter Fogd
During the month of August can
ning teams are being organized in the
junior canning clubs. The children
who have been learning to can at the
various schools this summer are
quite ready for team work. Each
school is eagerly working to organize
the winning team.
The canning division of the foodl
administration acivises me use 01
glass containers for canning instead
of tin containers. It is urged that all
sorts of available bottles can be used
for fruit juices providing they can be
properly sealed.
Miss Mamie Killian, a student at
the University of Omaha, is planning
a canning lesson in her cooking
classes next week. She has been con
ducting these classes in her home this
summer. The members are girl
friends living in her neighborhood.
Miss Nellie Farnsworth, who will
be out of the city during the month
of August, has Jeft Miss Hedvic
Provaznik to take charge of the work
in her office. Miss Provaznik will
spend one-half day in the office, 219
Union Pacific building, and the other
half day she will devote to the boys'
and girls' canning clubs.
The question of preserving eggs in
water glass was brought to the at
tention of the food administration
recently. It is not advisable to pre
serve the summer eggs for winter
use. The supply of fall eggs will be
more likely to keep through the win
ter months. Eggs can also be pre
served in the spring to advantage.

flew up in the air until the sky was
dotted with them."
