Hooty the Great Horned Owl was chuckling to himself. He chuckled and chuckled. It was a self-satisfied sort of chuckle Could you have heard it you would have known instantly that Hooty was very well satistied with him- self. You see, he thought himself very the neighborhood looking for them and sooner or later I would find them. But the quickest way and easlest way is {to keep watch of Reddy and Mrs. Reddy and let them lead me to the turkeys.” So, Hooty began hanging around the | Old Pasture, extepting during the mid- dle of the day He pretended not to be watching Reddy and Mrs. Reddy. He pretended to be simply hunting.

So, Hooty took pains to be somewhere within sight of the home of Reddy in the Old Pasture late in the afternoon before it was time for Reddy to go hunting. Then he kept an eye on Reddy and Mrs. Reddy wherever they went. He did his best not to be seen himself. But he was seen. And all the time he was chuckling to himself and Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were chuckling to themselves. It was all a sort of game to see who could out-smart the other. And all the time the thoughts of all of them were concerned chiefly with turkeys. Three days went past—three days and three nights. By day Reddy and Mrs. Reddy and Hooty slept much of the time. Late each afternoon all three | were out and all night all three hunted, for such is the way of these folks.
