) - . , Orchard. j.
. Hav you yr noticed how some peo
pl seem born to make trouble for oth
ers? Bully the English Sparrow and
Ma wife, Mn, Bully, are not very big.
; In fact, tbey are small. But they can
1 upset an entire neighborhood in lesa
time than it takea to tell about It.
They aeem to just delight in a fuss,
and when they cannot stir up a Quarrel
' among their neighbors they quarrel be
tweeri themsely.es, so that where they
are there ia very little peace.
Now, until they moved there from
the city the Old Orchard had been one
of the quietest, most delightful places
In all the great world in which to live.
To be sure, there were occasional
little outbreaks, as there are bound to
', be In all neighborhoods, but they were
merely little misunderstandings which
Were soon righted. Then-came Bully
and his Wife, and from the day of
' their arrival the Old Orchard was
never1 the same again. At first the
other people living there had hoped
that after a little Bully and Mrs. Bully,
' would settle down and things would
' be as peaceful as before. When mat
ters went from" bad to worse they be-
ragah to hope that something would hap
pen; to drive Bully out of the Old Orcn
ard, and when Chatterer the Red
Squirrel appeared and tried to get the
'six ggs In Bully's huuse, for the firt
time in the history of the Ol Orchard
the other bird folk didn't offer to
help drive the -wouM-be thief away.
The truth is they hoped that he woul!
get the eggs and that then Bully would
decide to move back to the place he
'had come from.
But Bully and his wife had needed
no help from any one. They, had
been quite equal to giving Chatterer
such a punishment as he had not had
for many a long time, and then when
they had made him run for the safety
of the old stone wall how they did
brag and boast! This waa too much
for their neighbors.
"Just listen tp them!" cried Welcome
Robin. "They are common. Just the
commonest kind of common people. I
imply cannot live in auch a noisy
neighborhood. This is my last season
In the Old Orchard. I hate to do It,
but next' -spring I shall look-up an
other neighborhood In which to live."
, "That is what I am planning to Ho."

every summer since I can remember
right here, and my parents lived here
before me. bui I cannot stand such
goings-on another year. I shall not

"I feel Just the same way," sputtered
little Jenny Wren. "I like my house.
It la the best I ever had, but I'm going
to give It up and look somewhere else.
This is no neighborhood for honest,
quiet-loving people, and all on account
of those upstarts from the city. It is
an awful thing to say, but I do wish
that Chatterer had got their eggs. It
would have served them just right."
All the other birds liying in the Old
Orchard, including Drummer the Wood-
Flycatcher. Skimmer the Swallow and ,
Chippy the Sparrow, own cousin to
Bully, agreed that this would be the
last summer they would spend in the
Old Orchard. They would leave it to
Bully and his family, for it was very
clear to all that they could not live In
the same ' neighborhood with them.
And this is how it came about that the
Old Orchard was in danger of losing
the little feathered people who loved
it so and whom it loved.

PERSONAL MENTION
Naval Officer Visits Parents.
After 10 months' service in Mexican
waters off the west coast Ensign B.
E. Barbey, U. S. N., son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. Barbey, 425 Tenth street, is
back in Portland on a month's t fur
lough. "
Due to the troubled situation in Mex
ico at the present time, however, En
sign Barbey deems It probable that he
will be recalled before the expiration
of his 30 days.
He went south at the start of the
Mexican trouble last year on board
the first class cruiser California, re
cently rechristened the San Diego be
cause a new battleship California is
now on the ways. 'Later he was. trans
ferred to the torpedo boat Lawrence,
which did patrol duty .at Mazatlan and
La Paz.
The Lawrence was but a few hun
dred feet off shore when the federals
and rebels clashed at La Paz and En
sign Barbey saw every detail of that
struggle. The officers of the little
torpedo boat congregated forward bet
ter to watch the fight, and while
standing there two of their number
were hit by bullets from the shore.
Both sides disclaimed any intention of
firing in the direction of the American
vessel.
Ensign Barbey was appointed to An-
napoiis in 1908 by former Senator
Bourne and was graduated with the
class of 1912. As the Lawrence has
been berthed for repairs at Mare Island
it is probable he will be assigned to
some other ship of the Pacific fleet at
the expiration of his leave.
