BEDTIME STORIE Lost Is Found. Rl ol iy 02 = —Sammy Ja. Sammy Jay knew just where that lost baby Owl was. You see, Sammy had seen that baby pushed from the nest by the other baby. He had seen the unfortunate little Owl fall from branch to branch of the tree and finally land on the ground. Then instinctively that baby had crawled under a little hem- lo I tree, the branches of which yery close to the ground. You might have pessed right close to that little tree and not see that baby Owl. So Sammy knew where it was and once or twice he was almost tempted to tell Mrs. Hooty. To be quite truthful, he didn’t dare make his presence known. So he kept his tongue still and watched Mrs. Hooty and Hooty worry and hunt. “There's one thing I don't under- stand,” thought Sammy, “and that is why that baby doesn't cry and let his father and mother know where he is. It seems queer to me that he keeps so ;t“ulkni ‘wonder if perhaps he was badly ‘Now the little Owl wasn't hurt, but it had had the breath knocked out of 8Y THORNTON W.

All the little | fellow wanted to do just thén was to | keep quiet and sleep, so he paid no attention to what was goihg on up above.

Finally, being hi himself, Sammy flew away to get some- thing to eat. It was just after Sammy left—and you may be sure that he took care to leave in such a way that he wouldn’t be seen by the Owls— that Mrs. Hooty returned with more food for that baby in th; nest. As usu:!, the (re:d'v little rascal began ‘to make a great fuss as Soon as he saw his mother bringing him something to eat. Mrs. Hooty alighted close by the nest. She was just reaching to give the greedy baby what she had brought when she heard a sound that caused her to turn her head and sit perfectly still. You know, she has very wonderful ears. They can hear little sounds that $ou and I would not _hear at all. The baby in the nest continued to demand its food. Mrs. Hooty paid no attention to those. demands. ad, she spread her wings and silently sailed down to the ground. She called in a Jow tone. There was an answer. A second later Mrs. Hooty peered under a little hemlock tree and there was the lost baby! Such a fuss as Mrs. Hooty made! She pushed that baby out where she could look him over. No hen ever Mrs. Hooty fussed over that baby. She tore to pieces the food she had brought and fed the little Owl, paying no at- fention to the indignant cries of the baby up in the nest. Just about the time that the baby had swallowed the last of the food she had brought Hooty himself arrived at the nest. Before he had a chance to feed the baby there Mrs. Hooty called to him. Down sailed Hooty and you can imagine his surprise when he dis- covered that lost baby. Mrs. Hooty took the food he had brought and began to feed the baby. Meanwhile, the one up in the nest was making a great fuss and feeling very much abused.
