SPARROW FINDS A FRIEND

One afternoon I found my puppy, Scott, playing on the lawn with a young bird in his mouth. I took the bird from him. It was a sparrow, wet and shivering, so I wrapped it up in flannel on a hot water bottle. When it was quite dry I put it in an empty cage on the balcony, where it could see my canaries, so it would not be lonely, I then found it had a broken wing. I fed it on crumbs, birdseed, condition food, and green-stuff. Two sparrows flew in every day, and fed it through the bars of . the cage. I suppose they were its parents. About 10. days later I opened the door of tne cage and it flew away. —’MATE RED HERRING. Riccarton.
