CHAPTER IV.
At the Attic Window.
BILLY BELGIUM, as he heard
the mysterious sounds over
head, looked surprised and dis
mayed. Was this ghost joke coming
back at him like the one .toldby
Judge Owl
"One of the Brids is trv!n tn
fool us," he whispered, but Peggy
couia see mat ne wasn t at all .cer
tain that this guess'was true.
"Birds don't cry like that," .aid
Peggy.
"Cat Birds do and so do Mock
ing Birds," declared Billy Belgium
growing bolder.
"But there hasn't been a Mocking
Tjrd or a Cat Bird around here in a
long time," answered Reddy Wood
pecker. Again came the muffled sobbing,
followed once more by the caution
ing "sh-h-h!"
"There surely is someone up in
the attic," whispered Peggy
"Maybe it's a kidnaper 1" suggested
Billy.
"I think we'd better get out of
here," m..rmured Judge Owl.
"S,o do we all," cried the other
Birds, and then there was a wild
scramble for the window through
which they entered. Every one
wanted to get out at once, and the
result was that they, got tangled up
togc ' er and blo:kv.u the way.
Peggy and Billy Belgium caught
the panickj feeling, but iheir pride
held them back.
"Phoohl Who's afraid?" said Bil
ly Belgium, but Peggy noticed that
he glanced up nervously at the trap
door which led to the attic.
"I'm not afraid 1" said Blue Heron,
pushing i-ito the crowd, "tnt I
"I'm not afraid," said Blue Huon,
pushing into the crowd.
want to be in a place where I can
get a good start if I should become
afraid in a minute."
That seemed to be the way with
all the Birds. They wouldn't admit
that they were frightened, but they
wanted to be ready to dash for
safety should real danger show it
self. "Guess we'd better go outside,
too," suggested Billy Belgium, as
t' : Birds finally crowded through
the window. "Ladies first," he gal
lantly added. Peggy didn't need a
second invitation. She might not
be really scared, but she preferred
to investigate this mystery from a
safe distance.
"I move that we adjourn to Bird
land," hootid Judge Owl, when all
were gathered ,in the school yard.
"No," promptly answered Peggy,
"Some one is crying up in that attic.
They are fry trouble. Maybe we can
help them. It would be cowardly
for us to run away without finding
out."
"That's right;' agreed Billy Bel
gium. "If it's a kidnaper we can
rescue his victim."
Peggy shivered at the word kid
naper, but she found her courage
cominir back strong once she made
up her mind she had a duty to per-
iorm.
"The safest thing is to get away
While the getting is good," declared
General Swallow. "That's the law
of Birdland, but if you say stay.
Princess Peggy, we'll stay with you."
"Thank you, faithful Birds, an
swered Peggy. "I wish one of you
would fly to that attic window and
tell us what you see." t
Every Bird responded and in a
moment the whole crowd was mass
ed in front of the window.
"I see! I seel" they chorused.
"What do you see?" cried Peggy.
"You tell me General1 Swallow," she
added when all started to answer at
once.
"Something white all huddled up,"
he replied, " It's crying, whatever
it is."
"I'm going to take a look,' de
clared Billy Belgium, shinning up a
tree that stood beside the school. In
a minute he was on a limb opposite
the window, Billy Belgium gazea
through the window for a long time,
while a puzzled look came over his
face.
"Hello, hello in thereT' he shouted.
Peggy peered up anxiously, wait
ing for a response. .Suddenly two
white faces appeared at the window,
just as suddenly they vanished.
"A little girl and a little boy," ex
claimed Billy Belgium; "They look
as though they have fainted. I'm
going in there I"
(In tomorrow' chapter Peggy and Billy
Belgium hear a surprising story from the
'ghostl.")
