thought. First we founcl a long string, and
then we went down af ter the sinner. Naturally
le didn’t want to come home again; Madam
Land’s whole yard was just one uproar of
frightened hens, we ran about so, driving them
here and there, before we got hold of Carolus.
We tied the string around his leg and tethered
him beside the barn steps.
After we had done this, I went in to study
my lessons, but I hadn’t been studying five
minutes before I had a queer feeling of
un-easiness, and had to go out to see how Carolus
was getting on. There he lav on the ground;
he had twisted and wound the string around
himself countless times,—he just lav on his
side and gasped. I freed him in no time; for
a moment he lav still, then he got up suddenlv,
flapped his wings hard and—away he went,
with outspread wings that fairly swept the
ground, and disappeared in Madam Land’s
yard. That night I didn’t go to get him.
The faet is I didn’t dåre to, because of Madam
Land.
