A TALKING I
BIRD
By MARJOR1E OjOUGH
"1 wonder?* said roy friend Staple*.
"If the boys and girla have aa much
fun aa w? used to bare when we were
from, say, aliteen to twenty."
"I donl believe tbey do? at leant, not
the Innocent fun. They have dinners
and theater parties and go to clubs
and dance the turkey trot, and all that,
but they dou't know what unceremonl
out fun that doesn't coat anything la"
"When I was between boy and man,"
Staples went on. "at our old home In
the days when every family contained
from alz to a dozen children, we boya
and girls grew up together, and every
boy was as careful of all the girls as
ho was of hla own slater. Turkey
trot! Not much. No aucb dancing
was ever heard of then. Hut we play
ed all sorts of Inuocent jokea on one
another. I remember one of 'em was
the cream cake racket, the cake being
full of cotton. One of the boya once
swallowed one of them, cotton and all,
rather than acknowledge that he'd
betu sold.
"That waa Hilly Wnllams. lie made
up hi* mlud that he'd get even with
the girl who uiade the cake, Cora
Blake. now Mrs. Olmstead Hut Cora
knew that be was laying for her, and
she was so blamed watchful he could
not catch her. It was about that time
that Cieorgu Olmstead and Cora were
getting klud of thick, and. though no
engagement had been announced, yet
by the fre<|uent disappearances of the
two at our social gatherings and other
evidences of spooning It was pretty
generally understood that there wns to
be a match.
Oue summer afternoon a dozen or
more of us boys aud girls were out on
our lawn playing croquet. Tennis had
barely como Into vogue, and they call
ed It lawn tenuis, uot having the
courts they have now. Cora Blake
and Billy Williams and George Olm
stead were all of the party, and we
were having no end of a good time.
Presently a man came Into the grounds
carrying a basket. As soon as be
reached us he took a parrot out of tbo
banket and asked us If we would like
to see him perform, assuring us that
he bad the most remarkable talking
bird In the world.
"All right" said Billy Williams.
?Go ahead with your show."
The man stood off a short distance
with the parrot perched on the fore
finger of bis left bsnd.
"/.In Is vera One ladles and gentle
men, don' you think so?" said the man
to the bird.
"BullyT' was the parrot's laconic ro
ply.
"What you think of that young lady
>ver there?"
-Bully r
"And that gentleman over there?"
pointing to Billy Williams, whose bair
*as what we call auburn.
"The sorrel top?"
We all laughed st Billy, who looked
a bit disconcerted. "If your bird can't
?ay anything but 'bully,' " he said to
(he showman, "you'd better take him
i way You'll get nothing for tucb a
'Measly performance here."
"Jus' you waits. The parrot talk
udder t'lngs."
"Cora!" laid the parrot in a mans
voice. "lVar Cora!" sban>enlug Its
!>oak on one of IU toe*.
Krery one laughingly looked at Cora
?ind tieorge Olmstead. who was stand
In; U*l<le ber. She colored, while
Course tried to smile. but tbe result
was a sickly grin.
"Cooie! Stop thwe |>ersona)ltlM or
c?>t out of here,** said Billy Williams
sharply. "I don't want any more of
It for tny part"
"Give me a kiss!" said tbe bird, fol
lowing up the words with a lot of gut
tural squawking. Tbe wonls baring
b<*n spoken la a man's voice, of
course tbey were assumed to refer to
George Olmstead, who was uuder lire
"Shut that off." said Williams an
"Tbe bird talka what be like," tbe
owner protcnted. "(low caua I stop
hlmr
Then the parrot gave ? dialogue be
tween a young mau and a girl.
"Take away your arm." "Mayn't 1
bare Just one kiss?" "No!" "Just
oue little teeny weeny bit of a one?"
do away; you're mussing my balr."
Of course George and Corn were sup
tsised to be the pair baring this little
discussion. Cora stood It till tbe hair
musslug part came, when she turned
and bolted for tbe bouse.
"That'll do," said Williams to the
showman "You may go." And he
slipped a bill tutn tbe fellow's hand.
Hilly was accused of baring hired
the man to come with his performing
parrot, but he wouldn't admit It. No
one could understand bow a bird could
be taught to talk like that till one of
the party suggested that It was tbe
showman who talked and that he must
he a ventriloquist. This George Anal
ly admitted to me He bad coached
the man himself, telling blm to refer
to bin own ml hair In order to divert
luspli-lon from himself
That brought out au announcement
o? the engugement between Cora and
George Olrustend. and six months aft
er that we all danced at the wedding
That was tbe last practical Joke
p'r.yed by any of our set. for soon
after we separated for tbe more se
rluui buxluesa of life. TbO serious
business remains, but the happy non
sense will never return to an/ of us.
Our ehltdreu or tbelr children are now
doubtless experiencing It.
