You see, those shot from +he terrible gun had little more than none through his skin. They had cmarted and hurt for a little while, but that was all. Reddy wasn't even lame. 3ut he had learned one thing, and this was that he had got to be very careful ‘n approaching the place where he had caught a turkey. He knew that it would I8 IT GOOD HUNTING?” BARKED REDDY. not be very easy to get another one. The farmer who owned those turkeys was keeping watch. “I have got to get some one else to catch the turkey for us” thought Reddy. “Neither Mrs. Reddy nor I can climb a tree. If we could climb a tree, we might be able to get one of those turkeys while they were asleep. My, it would be easy for Yowler the Bobcat to get one of them. I am glad he doesn't know about them. He would spoil all our hunting. Hello, there is CHANGE. OR IMPROVEMENT av Swowren | BY THORNTON W.

He looked almost like a part of the tree. He hooted, and Reddy grinned as he watched him lean gg;lrd a wee bit that he might listen & “Is it good hunting?” barked Reddy. Hooty looked down and in those great eyes of his were disappointment and anger. He snapped his bill as only Hooty can snap a bill. “What are you doing over here around my hunting ground?” he demanded. “How can there be good hunting with so many hunters around?” “Oh, I am not going to hunt here,” replied Reddy mildly. “I am just pass- ing along through. There is no harm in that, is there? By the way, Mrs. Reddy and I had good hunting the other night. We had the best hunting we've had this Winter. We had a feast and it makes my mouth water just to think of it.” Hooty was all attention. He turned his head and looked down at Reddy as if to see whether Reddy meant what he had said or was fooling. “What was tha feast?” he asked. “Turkey,” replied Reddy. “Turkey. Did you ever eat Turkey?” g “Once, just once,” replied Hooty. “You certainly did have good hunting. Were there any more turkeys there?” “ A lot of them,” replied Reddy. “But we were lucky to get that one. If only I";:Duld climb a tree I could get an- other."” A sudden gleam came into the eyes of Hooty the Owl. “What has climbing a tree got to do with it?” he asked. “Oh,” replied Reddy, “these turkeys all sleep in a tree. Mrs. Reddy and I were lucky enough to catch one before it had flown up in the tree for the night. But I fear we shall not have another chance like that.” “Where did you say these turkeys are?” inquired Hooty, leaning forward eagerly. “I didn't say,” replied Reddy. “Turkey certainly is fine eating. Yes, sir; it cer- tainly is fine eating. Well. I must be ¥ : No ene ean shirk ] hands Has paia eart. e EARL DUVALL Bos PiLorim More Santa Letters. oy BUO FisHER Every Lion Has His Hour. his purt.
