Did you ever see a guinea get
caught by one of its "behimb laigs"
'way up in a tree and hang helpless
with its head down? That is what
happened to one belonging to Hughie

phrey's place near Rennert the other
day, and it hung there until Mr. Hum
phrey poked it out with a pole. And
then that ungrateful wretch flew away
like nothing had happened without so
much as thanking the man who saved
er life, for tat is what he did. She
would have been hanging there yet if
somebody had not come to her res
cue. A leg got caught between two
limbs when she was flying high.
