Real Souls Are Scarce; One Found in Detroit

DETROIT, MICH. —Charlie Daniels called up to tell about a young robin that had fallen out of its nest. Charlie has been game wardening around Wayne county so long that he takes a fatherly interest in all young and

unprotected things. He’s got a sympathetic heart His voice was tremulous with the emotion that possessed his soul, as he told of the peril that beset this particular birdie. It appears the fledgling tumbled out of a tree in Mrs. Flannery’s back yard at 59 Pacific avenue and she rescued ft from a flock of avaricious cats that infest the neighborhood. “She took that there robin and put it In a cage,” said Charlie, “and she kept it in her barn, where the

cats couldn’t get at it. The mother bird and' the father bird soon found out where the bird was and every once in a while they fetched it food —angleworms, fish flies, caterpillars, grasshoppers and such like. "It was there pretty near a week. "She called me up and she wanted to know if she was doing the right thing by that there bird and I told her it was all right with me. "I want to tell you there’s a lot of hard-hearted people in this world and when you meet <p with a woman that’s got a real soul, like Mrs. Flannery has, there ought *4 be a piece put in the paper about it. "We. decided a»e little bird ought to be able to fly today, so this after ■oon we opened the cage and let him out. He flew right back io osi with his father and mother.”
