BURGESS. - ALLY SLY the Cowbird had arrived in the Spring & little earlier than usual. She realized this when she began looking for the nests of other birds wherein to place her eggs. Now that she had arrived, she wanted to get through with egg laying, that she might get it off her mind and de- vote all her time and thoughts to gadding about and having a good time. You know, Sally Sly often is called Lazybird. It is a good name for her. She is lazy.

No longer do they have any pride. Sally Sly lost her pride long, long ago, or else she never had any. | | Her children always are welfare | children, fed, cared for and brought | | up by neighbors. They sre selfish, grasping and without gratitude. Having arrived, Sally began look- ing for nests. She never has built one herself. “Why bother with so much work when one can always 1 find nests of others?” says she But this vear finding nests wasn't ENOUGH. ONE | so easy. She was ahead of most of | CAN'T BE Too the ones whose nests she usually | CAREFUL WHEN Y made use of. In a way Sally Sly is | WRITING To A o smart. People who impose on others | LADY N THESE have to be smart to a certain ex- | 0AYS OF BREACH tent. They have to be smart enough | OF PROMISE AND to know who can be imposed on and | ALIENATION OF 7 | who cannot. Sally Sly is smart eTION SUITS enough to know that she can im- REES % pose on birds smaller than herself more easily than she can on birds of her own size or larger. She is smart enough to know that the largest baby in a nest will get the most food and, getting the most food, will grow fastest and be the strongest. Her baby is bound to be the biggest in the nest of those smaller than herself. So it is for small nests that she keeps an open eye as she goes sneaking about. Now. the birds that she likes best to impose upon are not, as a rule, among the very early arrivals in the Spring. Why she herself had come quite so early she didn't know, but there she was, and if she could get | her egg laying out of the way soon she would have a long Summer of freedom to do what she pleased and g0 where she pleased. Winsome and Mrs. Bluebird had a nest, but it was in a birdhouse. Mrs. Robin had a nest, and Sally kept a watchful eye on it. She didn’t want to use it if she could help herself, for later the young Robins would be as big or as bigger than her own baby. Besides, it seemed as if Welcome or his mate always was on guard at that nest. Then it was that she discovered Mrs. Phoebe going in and out from & porch of Farmer Brown's house. Sally didn't like going so near the house as that, but at last she ven- tured close tc tie porch for a hur- ried glance inside. Just a little way in from the end, on top of a pillar that partly supported the roof, was a nest. No doubt it was Mrs, Phoebe's | lneu.eroub'.hnd some of ours are nest. She watched her chance, and Located, but— WHAT ? ey HAVE TH' MUMPS? WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS-=- I'LL BE RIGHT OVER!! NES--THiS IS J. PEWTER MUGG SPEAKING -- OW, BOWERS! WHAT 7 YOU HAVE MY BOVS?

Had she done so she probably would have seen another nest, on & rafter higher up at the back of the porch. But she felt un- easy being in a part of a building that way, and she got out and away as quickly as she could. Mr. Phoebe saw her leaving. He flew straight to the nest on the rafter. There were four white eggs in it, as there should be. Then he fiew to the other nest. In it was a larger egg, so covered with brown markings that it looked brownish. “What is it?” asked Mrs. Phoebe, who had just come in. “Nothing much,” chuckled Mr. Phoebe. “Sally 8ly has just made a mistake. She has left an egg in our last year's nest. I fear it won't hatch.” (Copyrisht. 1937.) ' BOY ! IF | HAD ELMERS LOOKS 1 HEARD YOU_. AND 1D WOW THE M GLAD I DID. BUT GIRLS .
