1G THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N.

"Sometihes they call me the Bee Martin because I catch so many Bees." said Mr. Kingbird and he darted out -i i ; ai i l ana came quiCKiy uacK wun anuuier Dig iat ieuow. "Do you live on bees altogether?" asked Tinker Bob. "O King, I only catch the drones. Tou see there wouldn't' be any honey if I caught all of the bees. 'But the drones don't work anyway, only buzz about worrying everybody, so I catch them when they come my way. But then, bees are not the only insects I eat. I just have an appetite for all kinds of insects that fly. And I catch some that don't fly. Talk about your .fine eyesight. Mr. Hawk or Mr. Owl are not in it with me when it comes to seeing. I'm the best friend the Farmer ever had but I don't suppose, he knows it. Do you see that fly over there' by that big oak tree? Watch me catch it." Tinker Bob knew better than to try to see the fly but he watched with interest the darting flight of Mr. King bird. If he couldn't see the fly he could hear the click of that little black bill and that was the sign meaning the fly was caught. He came back opening and shutting his mouth so it must have tasted very good. "Are you going to build in the edge of the forest this year?" asked Tinker Bob. "You bet I am," cried Flycatcher. "This is the finest place I know of." Suddenly he spied Billy Crow, and just so suddenly he darted away to meet him. When Mr. Billy Crow 6pied him coming he changed his mind about visiting this section of the. forest and turned back toward the Hunter's corn field. But Mr. Fighter, the Kingbird, followed him till he made sure that his intentions were not to return son.

Look up here, cried the voice. Looking up Tinker Bob knew instant ly who it was speaking. "You haven't forgotten me have you?" It was Beauty the Great Crested Flycatcher. He was the one Phoebe had alluded to as the largest of the Flycatcher family. His throat and breast were gray with a bright yellow underneath. "I say you are a handsome fellow this spring," said the King. Next Mr. Snake's Old Coat. MOMENT bv LJ' a o-v m J. A moiii -r - kj but that 'is not strange for a country so new.

Gwenda? Jf so, give her this message, from one boy who believes in 'America First,' by God, and in the incomparable love liness of its women." "Nice letter, yours?' questioned Fern, suddenly, as she finished the perusal of her own, shorter one. Then catch ing sight of the flush on her cousin's face, and noting the look of radiant happiness, which Gwenda made no pry tense of concealing, she started, ever so slightly, at some thought of her I own, and began v softly to hum, 'Tho Love Nest." , "Yes, a perfectly splendid letter."
