CHAPTER IV.
The Attack in the Steeple.
(Billy Belgium is recruiting pigeons to
act as messengers with the American
army. With Peggy and Carrie ana
Homer Pigeon he visits the haughty Stee
ple Pigeons, who are pacifists. A Belgian
Pigeon tells why the Birds of Europe go
to war. Hats Invade the steeple and put
all In danger.)
ifTlHE Ratsl The destroying
I Rats!" cried the Steeple
Pigeons, fluttering madly
around the room.
Peggy stood horror-stricken.
She'd always had a creepy feeling
when she saw a Mouse or a Rat,
and these Rats were worse than
anything she had ever imagined. She
didn't know what to do. There
was no place to run to, and she
couldn't fly like the Pigeons.
The Rats looked around the room
curiously licking their chops as
they gazed greedily at the Pigeons.
Tl.en their eyes traveled downward
and rested upon Peggy. They
opened their mouths in a snarling
grin.
"Here's a new kind of a Bird!"
remarked the foremost Rat.
"Looks as though it would be
mighty good to eat," squealed the
second Rat.
"It's mine! I saw it first!"
claimed the first Rat.
"We'll divide it up," decided the
third Rat.
With that the three Rats darted
forward in their sneaky, crawly
way. Peggy jumped back and as
she did so Billy Belgium leaped in
front of her. He brandished a long,
thin file which some workmen had
left on the floor of the steeple room.
"Come on, you Rats, if you want
to get a thump on the nose," he
shouted.
The Rats halted. They lookeed at
Billy Belgium in surprise. Then
they opened their mouths in the
Brie) City News
same kind of a snarling grin with
which thev had creeted Peggy.
"Here's another one," said the
first Rat.
"We'll have nearly enough to go
around," squeaked the second.
"My, isn't he tierce looking. May
be he'll eat us up!" sneereed the
third, showing all his sharp teeth.
Pfggy could see that Billy, brave
as he showed himself, was no match
for these monster beasts. One
rush and they'd snap off his head.
But Billy had a surprise in his
sleeve.
Giving a startling shout, he leaped
forward, right into the faces of the
grinning Rats. The first he slashed
across the nose with the sharp end
of the file. The second he caught
on the ear. The third he prodded
in the ribs, shoving the file in with
all his strength.
The Rats, cowardly at heart, were
upset by the unexpected attack.
They fell back. Billy shouted again
and rushed forward a second time,
brandishing the file. At the same
moment Carrie and Homer Pigeon
swooped down theateningly from
above. Turning in a panic, the Rats
fled into the hole from which they
had appeared.
Instantly Billy Belgium swung
around to Peggy.
"Get on Carrie Pigeon's back,"
he whispered. "I've bluffed them for
a minute, but when they recover
their wits they'll attack again."
Peggy knew what he said was
true, and quickly accepted the aid
which Carrie Pigeon offered. She
soon found herself on a large beam
that ran across the room just below
the dome. Here were clustered the
frightened Pigeons, and here, too,
were many of their nests. In the
nests were baby Pigeons and eggs.
Tucked around the edges of the
room on shelves and ledges were
other nests. To these the fright
ened Pigeon fathers and mothers
flew as soon at they got over their
first wild fluttering fright.
Billy Belgium mounted Homer
Pigeon's bark, and joined Peerey on
the beam. He was right about the
Rats attacking again. They came
from the hole with a rush, and be
hind them were five more Rats, mak
ing eight in all.
The Rats looked around eagerly
for the children. Pepgy was in hones
they would think every one had fled.
Rut the coo of a baby Pigeon drew
their attention to the beam.
"They are hiding up there,"
squealed the first Rat. "Here's
where we get good eats and capture
a fine new home, much better than
our holes in the basement."
"Come, let's escape," cooed Airy
Pfluter. "We can get through the
lattice before they climb up here."
"And abandon these baby Piseons,
your eggs, and your nests! Never!"
cried Peggy indignantly, looking
pityingly at the voung Pigeons who
were still too tinv to flv.
"We'll stay and fight!" declared
Billy Belgium.
"Of course," answered Blue Feter.
"Of course," echoed Bronze Beauty
and Carrie and Homer Pigeon.
The Rats had massed below, re
ceiving orders from their leader.
"Here they come!" cried Peggy,
who was on watch. Up the lattice
work and up the post supporting the
beam swarmed the attacking Rats.
(Tomorrow the fight In the. steeple will
be described.)
