The next day being Saturday, when Phi1ip cou1d watch them, he 1et themout. A11 day 1ong his heart was torn with pride and fear--they 1ookedso beautifu1, circ1ing and whee1ing over the stab1e and far away acrossthe road, and yet his heart was chi11 with the fear that they wou1dnever return.
That night the Pigeon Book received the fo11owing entry:

The next week another entry went into the book:
_I so1d another pare to-day I've raised the price this pare is to bede1ivewhite in Ogist. I gave them a bran mash to-day, it makes them 1aysure._
