Hooty the OWl was fast losing his temper. Mrs. Hooty was losing hers e faster. More and more angry ed their hisses. Louder r they snapped their bills. and But e young Crows who were tormenting them by screaming at them and pre- tending to attack them took no heed of this. Only Blacky and Mrs. Blacky and a few of the older Crows-heeded the signs and gradually drew farther and farther away. Now, there is a general idea abroad in the land that Hooty the Owl and THE YOUNGER CROWS WERE GROWING BOLDER AND BOLDER. Mrs. Hooty cannot see well in the day- at. It appeared that the young s had heard this and believed it. ng coula be farther from the . No, indeed, nothing could be her from the truth. It is true that Hooty and Mrs. Hooty do not like to fiv about in daylight. They do not 1 h2 sun. Besides, it is their time sleep, for they have been out all nizht. But they can see, and see well. The younger Crows were growing boider and bolder. They were showing off and having a wonderful time doing it. They were daring each other to tweak a few feathers from those Owls. lg!" how impudent they were! And then, suddenly darted at one of those Crows.

BURGESS ducked and dodged and it was only by the merest good luck that he escaped Hooty's great claws. But one of his companions was not so fortunate. Mrs. Hooty was also tak- ing part in putting the Crows to flight, and she had been quick enough to seize one of the young Crows. It was all over in an instant. He didn't have time to even scream. Meanwhile, all the Crows had taken to their black wings. They were getting away from there just as fast as they could. And Hooty and Mrs. Hooty were after them. Instead of being driven away by the Crows, they were themselves driving the Crows away. Such a ducking and g Such a scattering in all directions! Such a sudden silence after all that noise! Those Crows held their tongues now. All they wanted was to get away as quickly and as far as ble. In & surprisingly short time not a Crow was to_be seen in that part of the Green Forest. Meanwhile, Hooty had caught another young Crow. He brought it back with him to the tree where the nest was. Mrs. Hooty joined him there. They each had a Crow.

I don't think they’ll visit us L ‘That night, as Blacky and Mrs. Blacky sought their usual perch, Blacky said, “I'm afraid we shall have to give up | nest, my dear. I'm afraild we shall have to go to the trouble of bufld- ing a nmew nest.” “There isn't any doubt about it,” replied Mrs. Blacky. “I couldn't go back to that nest now if I never had another home.

Mrs, Blacky shook her head. from a nest” said she. “We have driven them away when they have just been roosting; but this is different.
