BLACKY‘! DESPAII

Whoever hopelessly despair: The chance of his escape impairs. -Old Mother Nature

A helpless feeling is iliten a hopeless feeling. It was l0 now with Blacky the Crow. He was a prisoner. One end of a long piece of stout string was fast around one leg and the other end was en- tangled in some bushes along the fence‘ between the Green Meadows and the Old Pasture, Blacky is smart, but not smart enough to untangle a string. He didn't know how to go about it. Nor did. any of his friends. One of them had discovered the trouble Blscky was in and had called the others, but this was too much of a problem for even the mmbined smartness of all those Crdws. They had a [mat deal to' say about it but there was nothing they could do about it. The most any could do was to peck aimlessly at the string just as Blacky had packed at it ever since he was caught,

Hidden from the sharp eyes of the Crows. Roddy Fox watched them for some time. Biacky was down among the bushes growing along the fence. The others were on the fence, or walking about on the ground, or flying about just overhead, all talking at once and making a great fuss, but do- ing nothing. Perhaps you have noticed that those who make the most fuss about a matter seldom do anything about it.

"Those Crows will become tired after a while and will go away. Then I will go down and see if Blacky is as helpless a| he appears m be. Whatever the matter ls, I am sorry for him. but a dinner is a dinner, and these days I can't afford to miss one." thought Red- dy as he waited and watched.

But Blacky‘: friends stuck around. Perhaps they thought that Just beinB with him helped. And it did. Yes, air, it did. Trouble and fright usually are easier to bear /ln the company of friendl than alone. Blacky wasn't hurt, but he was terribly frightened, and it did seem to lessen that fright to have hi: friend: around him. 'After a while Raddy’: patience gave out. Those friends’ of Biacky's showed nq signs of leaving. Reddy decided to wait no longer. Those Orowe might make it unpleasant for him, but he was in no real danger from them. l-le might re< ceiva e. few peck-W. but a dinner was worth these and more.

Those Crows had been noisy be- fore, but it was nothing to the racket that they made when they saw" Ready. They flew to meet him all acrewning as only angry and

At the foot hf the post Roddy looked up at mucky and grinned

ﬂglted crews oen. They flew ell and ground, him, threatening him as they tried to drive him back. but all the time taking care not to give him a chance to spring on one of them. Now and then one of the boldest would S\ii00p down from behind and strike him with a stout bill. It hurt, hut it did no real harm.

Perhaps you can guess how Biacky felt when he saw Raddy coming. But no, l don't think you can. You never have been a heip~ less prisoner watching some one cumin: to kill you, and unable to get away. He did flap and struggle harder than ever, and he did man- age to pull enough of that string free of the bushes to allow him to flap up on the fence post, but that was all.

Reddy snapped and snarled and

whenever they came near enough but he kept right on toward that fence post. Blacky’: friends re-

jumped at the screaming Crows.
