Homer was I pigeon. He was II h ' pigeon. oom-monly called carrier pigeon. and he belonged to Farmer Brown's Boy. Homer was being trained but he didn't know it, He was being trained to find his way home from long distancns. It had begun wihen Farmer Brown's Boy had taken him just 9. short distance from home. and there set him freo. It had been no trick at all for him to find his way home. A few days later he had been taken for another rido. This had been a longer ride than the first one. Again Homer had found no trouble in headiriit straight for home. You see, in that small trim head of his was something cellerl thn hnmin-2' in- stinct: a sort of comoass nr direc- tion finder. He would fly high 'l2l(l circle around a few times.

They were pet free st the nine time, md they flew together in a flock.

er reach home in I few minutes when he was set free. He began to look forward to these training trips. He began to boast about how he could fly, both how long he could fly without ooming down and how fast he could fly. He boasted, too, about how he never was lost, and always knew where home lay. Always when he was taken on these training trips Mrs. Homer was left. at home. Al- wuys Homer was anxious to get. back to her. That was one rea- son ahe was left at home.

There came a day when Homer had a lot of company on one of these trips; a dozen or more other pigeons were with him, They were all set free at the same time. and they flew together in a flock. Around Imd around in ever widen- ing circles they flew. Then they bogan to snpamie. some flew in one direction and some flew in an- other. You see. their homes lay 1'1 different directions. They were be- ing flown in a race, but of course they didn't know iiha-t. Each wore a band on each leg. These were numbered. One band bore the owner's number. The other bind Ir.-as put on the leg just for that race. The time when the birds were set iron and the time when each had reached its home were recorded. The exact distance each bird had flown was known. so It could be told which one flew the fastest.

Homer hnd company most of the way, but he was just a wee bit the strongest and a wee bit the fastest. and presently he found himself flying alone. He won that race, although he didn't know it, because of course he didn't know he was racing.

But he did know that he had flown a ionizer disizmce, than ever hr-fore. and he had done it with- out once coming down for food or Water. He knew he had made a splendid fight. and he boasted a- bout it. He strutted and boasted and told every one who wouid listen to him how he had left all the other pigeons behind.
