~ Minnows Disappear. = ~Farmer Brown's Boy, Firmer Brown's Boy would have told you that he felt better. He had found out what had become of one of his fish. Its was no longer Ol'l.hld" n it when Farmer Brown's Boy wasn't looking. “I thought that fish couldn't have flopped back into that hole in the ice” Parmer Brown's Boy. He was talk- ing to himself, for there was no one else to talk to. “Now I know he didn't. ‘Whitey saw him flopping about, and “PROBABLY WHITEY NEEDED THOSE FISH A GREAT DEAL MORE ‘THAN I DID,” THOUGHT HE. while I was pulling that second fish| out he came on those noiseless wings | of his and picked up that first one. Of course, he must have taken that fine, big pickerel I laid on the bank.” He looked over to where Whitey was sitting in a tree some distance away. He had been sitting there ever since he had flown from the place where he had been found by Farmer Brown's Boy. The latter had brought along & minnow wherewith to bait the hook from which he had taken the last fish. He had left the pail in which he kept his minnows over near the fire he had built on the bank of the Big River. Having once more set the tip-up, be went whistling back to the fire.

There was something peculiar going on here. He looked once more at the distant Whitey. “It wasn't you this time,” said he. “No, sir; it wasn't you. You have been sitting in that tree ever since I startled you from the ice on the river. Those minnows dis- appeared while I was over there. Now, where did they go and how did they go? I wonder if you have a mate around here. That must be it. Yes, sir; that must be the answer; there must be another Snowy Owl some- where about.” He looked carefully all over the ice of the Big River. He looked along the bank, studying each tree and bush. Whitey himself was the only thing that looked like a big white bird, and he looked more like & snowball than & bird. Still, Farmer ’s Boy felt sure that somewhere around was an- other Snowy Owl. It was a pity he couldn't have found out from Blacky the Crow what the latter was chuc- kling about over in & tree not far away. Blacky was enjoving something very much, indeed. Farmer Browns Boy would have been surprised could he have known what it was that so tickled queer he felt very good about the matter. “Probably Whitey needed those fish a Painless Use of Spinach.
