Old Mother Nature EVERAL times when he had been out in the evening Farmer Brown's Boy had heard strange sounds, unlike any he had ever heard before. They were not always alike. In fact, they varied con- siderably. He had guessed that they were made by an owl, because he could think of no one else, but still he wes d. Never had he heard Hooty QGreat Horned Owl or Spooky the Scresch Owl or any other members of the family with whom he was ac-| quainted make such noises. ‘Then one morning when he was sweeping the barn floor he picked up a curlous thing. . It was a large pellet made of small bones rolled up in fur. Farmer Brown's Boy picked up that pellet and on his face was a look of | uzzlement. He knew what he had ound. He had found similar pellets many times. He knew that those bones ‘were the bones of a Mouse and the fur FARMER BROWN'S BOY PICKED UP THAT PELLET AND ON HIS FACE WAS A LOOK OF PUZZLEMENT. ‘was the fur of a Mouse and that this ‘was all that remained of a Mouse that had been eaten by an Owl.

For perhaps two minutes he stared with such a look of unbellef in his face that you would have laughed had you been ‘there. Meanwhile the Owl was leaning forward and bobding his head in the funniest way as he watched every move made by Farmer Brown's Boy. There was a look of suspiclon and a look of worry mingled in those big star- ing eyes. At last Farmer Brown's Boy found his tongue. “Whoopee!” he cried. “It can't be, but it is! I don't believe it, but it is so! That's a Barn Owl! As sure as I am Farmer Brown's Boy that is & Barn Owl! I never have seen one before; I never have even heard of one being seen in this part of the State, but there is no mistaking that monkey- like face. I wish there were two of them, Yes, sir, that is what I wish. As if in answer out of that same dark corner flew another and joined the first on the rafter overhead. So it was that Farmer Brown’s Boy found some pellets and made the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Monkey-face the Barn Owl. (Copyright, 1932.)

JAR 23C rolled together in pelle:s and these the Owls drop from their mouths. Farmer Brown's Boy knew instantly what he had found. What puzzied him was the size of it, together with the finding of it in the barn. He had more than once found pellets dropped by Spooky and Screech Owl, who some- times ventured into the barn to hunt for Mice, but those were hardly half the size of this one. “This is big enough to have come from the mouth of Kooty the Great Horned Owl,” said he and stared up in | the dim light just beneath the roof. | “Yes, 8ir, it is 50. But I've never known | Hooty to come inside. I wonder if there | are any more of these pellets around?” | He hunted about on the floor of the barn but found no more. Then he went | upstairs to the mow, where the hay was stored. From one end the hay had been used and save for dust and seed the floor was quite bare. That is, it was quite bare but for these things and pellets. There were ever so many of | the latter and Farmer Brown's Bov knew that whoever had dropped them was in the habit of sitting somewhere y above, probably on one of the rafters.| | z - | At once he began to iook along the = rafters, taking each in turn.
