"He doesn't look like a flghter,' said Tommy Tit the Chickadee. "He doesn't look a bit like a fight- er. He hasn't got big feet and big claws or a big bill. I just don't understand it at all. Look! There's Blacky the Crow flying past the Old Orchard now! He probably was going to come over here to look for eggs. but changed his mind when he saw Scrapper. There goes Scrapper!"

Sure enough. Scrapper the King- bird had left his perch in an apple tree and was flying after Blacky the Crow. He caught up with Bise- ky'e back. Blacky tired to twist and turn in the air. but he Just couldn't get away from Scrapper Presently Scrapper left him alone and returned to the Old Orchard. Ha acted as if he had done noth- ing at all. Tommy Tit flew over and perched near him.

"Aren't you afraid At all?” he

asked.

"Not of that fellow." replied Scrapper. Little Tommy Tit shook his head.

"I wonder if there is any other bird as brave as you are." said he. Scrapper chuckled. "There is one and he isnlt anywhere near as big as I am. To he honest. he can drive me away when he wants to. And that is sometililng that none of the big birds can do." said he. Tommy Tit shook his head. "II he as smdl as me?" he asked.
