It was just as dusk was settling over the Old Pasture that Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy stood for a moment on their doorstep and then started off at ENTLEMAN ABOUT TO BE DRAGEED TO A SYMPHONY CONCERT, PRACTICES GETING THE APLAUSE W BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. “Oh, yes, he's following us,” replied Reddy. “Only a moment ago I caught THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

I don't have to look any more just now. A moving shadow means just one thing, and that is Hooty the Owl. He's sp: on us ever since I told him about that turkey din- ner.

He knew by the very way in which they were trotting off that they were going s long way. It was what he had been 80 HOOTY FOLLOWED ALONG FLY- ING BACK AND FORTH. ‘walting for. “I knew,” said he to him- self, “that all I needed was to have patience. Now we shall see what we shall see. I mustn't lose sight of those two Foxes.” So Hooty followed along, flying back and forth and circling this way and that on those great wings of his. He pretended to be hunting, but all the time he was keeping Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy in sight. How surprised Hooty would have been could he have overheard Reddy and Mrs. Reddy as they trotted along. “Is_Hooty following us now?” asked Mrs. Reddy. “I cannot seem to locate him and I do not want to appear to be looking teo much.” Daily Cross-Word Puzzle dddd ANadEd ddsd n ¥ .“ Iz 4 .

ANSWER TO YESTERDAY'S PUZZLE. “But, my dear, I don't quite see what your plan is yet,” said Mrs. Reddy. Reddy chuckled. “You will, my dear,” said he. “You will all in good time. I think myself it is a very clever plan and I think you will think the same thing.” So Reddy and Mrs. Reddy trotted along without hurrying and all the time Reddy took care to keep more or less in the open, where Hooty would be sure to see them. He didn’t want Habty to lose sight of them. To have this hap- pen would have spoiled his clever plan. It was a long way over to that farm where the turkeys lived. Hooty began to understand why it was that he had never found those turkeys. He wasn't in the habit of flying so far from his home in the Green Forest. His hunting field had never extended as far as this. At last Reddy and Mrs. Reddy stopped. They were still some little distance from the farm where the tur- keys lived. “What are we stopping here for?” asked Mrs. Reddy. “We don't want to get over there too soon,” replied Reddy. “We don’t want to get over there until after the farmer has gone to bed. We don’t want to get there until everything is all dark.” “I don't see what harm it would do to be where we can watch those tur- keys,” said Mrs. Reddy. Reddy chuckled softly. “My dear,” said he, “don’t you understand yet what I am trying to do? Hooty the Owl is going to catch one of those turkeys for us. He doesn't know it, but that is what he is gvlng to do. I don't want him to discover those turkeys until just the right time. If he should discover them too soon it might spoil all our plans. I want to wait until there is no d?:lhg!r that we shall be interfered Fih “Where do you suppose Hooty is now?” asked Mrs. Reddy. u “I don’t know, but he is where he can watch us, you may be sure,” replied Reddy.
