THE FAIRY RING

DEAR ONES,— lie's gone . . . the Hide silver-) eat her ed visitor ivlco came with the dusk went, with the sun of the. morning. But three days he had spent with us . . . three days of rest and quiet paiterings about the house and happy pecking in the garden . . . until his hurts were mended. He became shy of hands, and left his friendly basket for high dim shelves that were safe from, them, but he stayed without any fear at all. And then one morning he looked up from between the flowers and saw the sky. Perhaps it was that that reminded him . . . but he remembered suddenly, I think, a lot of things. He fluttered up to the roof of the house, and walked its length sedately to the very porch i that had sheltered him. Fof awhile he looked at everything intently ,'i.t- a sort of pleased remembering look. Sloivly he lifted his wings and felt them strong again , . . and the next moment he was high and away on the morning.
