Mocking Bird Is a Fighter.

I The mocking bird Is only bird I have ever seeh driye away a cat; he will peck and dart a about so fast and bewftfleringly* that 1 the cat becomes confused, and seems not to realize that her assailant is a -but hurries off In a panic to escape such a dangerous foe. He/ even distrusts ths clumsy old turkey buzzard, who has lighted dowti/th th? to foYestlgate the garbage can to %ee ts by any chance the cover has been left off, and the buzzard, like the cat, never tries to defend itself, but sidesteps and dodges and finally flees from Its small enemy—never seeming to think that one sweep of its big wing would grind it to dust.— Exchange.
