the small marsh over near the Bir River. He was listening to the chatter oi’ a family gathering out _in the middle o! rhat marsh. He shook his head as he listened. "Noisy," muttered Peter. “Noisy as a. lot o! Hens. I don't see howl they dare make such a noise- They are telling everybody w-ithin hear-I ing just. where they are. ivhatls the good of hiding if at the same time you tell just where you are?

But their cousins, lhe Galiinuies, Mr. and Mrs. Cackie, are even noisier. I wonder what they are all talking about. it is none of my business but just the same I wonder. I wouldn't want them for near neighbors all the tine. No sir, I wouldn't have them (or near neighbors for anything. I would be afraid those noisy tongues would draw every hungry hunter in the neighborhood. Folks who don't want to be seen shouldn't be heard."

"Haven't. yo-u anything better to do?“ asked a sharp voice. It, startled Peter so that he was ready to jumip and run, but he hesitated long enough to make sure that there was cause lo jump and run. A small person whctn he had had just a glimpse of at a distance two or three tines, but whose acquaintance he never had had a chance to make, stepped out from a cittmip of grass right in front o! him. He was a little smaller than Peter's old friend, Bob White. He more a top coat oi brown-streaked with black edged with white, a gay waiscoat above, brownish to gray barred with white, and a black cravat. He was black from his forehead down to his pointed but rather stout yellow bill.

"Who are you?" asked Peter blun-tly as he squatted down again

“I'm sora Rail. What are you listening to my cousin for?" re- plied the other-

Peters eyes opened very ‘wide. "Do you mean those folks cack-

iing out there? Are they your cousins?" he asked. - Sora nodded. "They belong to

different branches oi my family

Wouldn‘t you say so?" he replied. "It would seem so.” agreed I Peter. "Don't you think your
