ENIGMA NO, 2. 



I am a beautiful bird composed of 15 letters. My 15-7-12-13 is what 

 is always found in the ground, my 12-8.3 is a well known domestic 

 animal, my 1-8-6-4 is an adverb, my 13-11-5 is what you open the door 

 with. Stuart M. Firth, 



South Orange, N. J. 



ENIGMA NO. 3. 



When nature spreads her robe of 12-14-6-13-10, 



The bird no longer now a 1-8-4-3-10-12-6-14, 



Builds her 10-6-1-7 'neath leafy screen. 



Lest her birds from 2-3-8 in danger 



Be eaten ere they 5-3-4-12-6 have grown. 



And 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14 left to moan. 



May Agnes Johnson, 



Kansas City, Mo.
