The curlous have little pride, And seldom are they satisfied. —Hooty the Owl. Old Man Coyote a long time ago made a discovery. He discovered that one of the surest ways of finding out things was to follow the scent of other people. Then he would find out what- ever they found out in addition to what Ne might find out for himself. So when ©Old Man Coyote, with his wonderful nose, picked up the scent of Farmer Brown’s Boy over in the Green Forest, he began to follow him. “I wonder what he's doing over here,” thought Old Man Coyote. “It is always well to know what one’s neigh- I believe ITl £ Brown's Boy is about. It probably does not concern me at all, but the knowl- edge will not hurt me.” So Old Man Coyote put his nose to the ground, sniffed, and then started along. So it was that in time he came straight to the place where Hooty the Owl and Mrs. Hooty were raising their family—one baby up in the nest in a | when_ they are angry. | they left the nest and swooped down at BY THORNTGN W. BURGESS Hooty, flying rather low, passed him on his way to the nest. Of course, Old Man Coyote saw him. With his eyes, Old Man Coyote followed Hooty right up to that nest. He sat down a little way from the tree and grinned as he | watched Hooty feeding the young Owl up in the nest. Then Mrs. Hooty ar- rived. She saw Old Man Coyote at once, so she flew right up to the nest | beside Hooty. Then they turned and both looked down at Old Man Coyote. ‘There was anger in their big, round, yellow eyes. They snapped their bills, which is a way they have of doing ‘Then together Old Man Coyote, snapping their bills and hissing. Now, Old Man Coyote wasn't looking for trouble. He had a whole lot of ground for a couple of minutes, then turned and bounded away. He grinned as he ran. “I've found out all I wanted to know,” said he. “Farmer Brown's Boy had come over to visit that nest. Hooty and Mrs. Hooty are always short tem- pered when they are nesting. I don't know that I blame them for not want- people around. I probably would feel the same way were I in their place. Well, I won't bother them any more. This is the last place to come hunting with those two hunters on hand all the time. I'll just stay away from this part of the Green Forest.” Y So it was that Old Man te al- most discovered that young Owl on the ground, but didn’t quite. Had he known the little Owl was there he might have taken a chance. But, not knowing it, he went away and did not return. He was te satisfled with what he had found out and, of course, it didn’t once enter his head that he hadn’t found out all there was to find out. Meanwhile Hooty and Mrs. Hooty | were growing more and more worried. | They were 50 afraid that as the young Owl on the ground got bigger he might give the secret of his presence there away. It would be a very great relief when they could get him off the ground. \.‘W-WOrd Puzzle But that, wouldn't be until-he could fiy. (Copyright, 1030.)
