Reddy Fox and Mrs, Reddy were watching Hooty the Great Horned Owl salling back and forth above the old apple tree, in which 11 turkeys were 008 two Foxes were hiding as near that tree as they could get without being seen. They didn't want to attract the attention of Hooty the Great Horned Owl. They needn’t have worried. Hooty had eyes for nothing but those turkeys. Back and forth. back and forth sailed Hooty above that turkey tree. He HOOTY PREPARED TO ENJOY THAT TURKEY DINNER HE HAD WAIT- ED FOR 8O LONG. ‘was looking those turkeys over. He was making up his mind which one he would choose for his dinner. The big gobbler Hooty over. He was too big. Presently he decided on a young turkey that was roosting somewhat off by herself. Hooty flew over her once. ‘Then he turned and came back and this time he struck and struck hard. The turkey gave one faint, startled yelp— and that was all. Down to the ground she crashed and Hooty with her. She was too big for him to carry away. He would have to eat his fill right there. For a_moment after they struck the ground Hooty stood erect, turning his ead swiftly this way and that way, looking all around with great glaring e and were fast asleep. The|Red BY THORNTON W.

If he could do that, he would be very likely to twist his head off. Satisfied that no one was watching him, Hooty prepared to enjoy that turkey dinner he had waited for so long. He didn't even think of Reddy Fox or Mrs. dy. In Hooty's mind there was no room for any thought but that of turkey. Hooty had just started to tear off the feathers when, without warning, there was a sudden rush, and before he could put himself on the defensive he was knocked off that turkey. It was Reddy Fox who had struck him. At the same time Mrs. Reddy seized the turkey by reall »v Ea. DUVALL Boe PiLorim Ready to Start. Muf’ and the neck and began to drag it away. Hooty was furious. Do you wonder? How he did hiss and snap his great bill. Back he came, striking at Reddy with his wings and claws. Reddy nim bly jumped aside and Hooty immedi ately turned toward that turkey. But the instant Hooty turned Reddy was at him again, It was two against one. Hooty couldn't fight Reddy and fight Mrs. Reddy at the same time. He did the best he could, but despite all he could do, he had to see that turkey dnged away. Meanwhile, the turkeys had been wakened and some of them were cran- ing their necks as they tried to see what was going on down below. ‘While Reddy kept Hooty occupled Mrs. Reddy succeeded in carrying the turkey to the former hiding place where. they had taken the first turkey, which was, as you know, under the barn. Hooty didn’t see where she took it. He was too much occupied with Reddy. But presently Reddy suddenly darted off around e corner of the barn and Hooty was left alone, hissing and snapping. Reddy was in high spirits. Every- thing had worked out exactly as he had planned. Hooty had brought down a turkey for them, just as he had hoped would be the case. “I wonder what Hooty is thinking,” thought Reddy. “I'm sorry to cheat him out of a din- ner, but there are more ‘turkeys there and he can get another. I knew my plan would work out. Now Mrs. Reddy and I will have another glorious feast. I guess it will be the last one we'll have on turkey this year. That farmer probably will shut those turkeys up now. I hope Hooty has sense enough to fly away before that farmer gets up in the morning.” (Copyright, 1929.) Across. 1. Grope. 8.
