Boldness when ’tis least expec BRA T Sry S om ESPERATE from hunger, Hooty the Owl sat on the edge of the window shelf, where Farmer Brown's Boy fed his feathered friends and glared this way and that. 80 hungry was he that he was considering an attack of Flip the Terrier, although he well knew that Flip was much too big for him. Yes, sir, he was doing just that. Then a door slammed and, turning his head half way around, Hooty saw Farmer Brown's Boy just leaving the house. It was broad daylight, but it was still fairly early in the day. Farmer Brown’s Boy was on his way to the hen house. He opened the gate to the yard, en- tered and closed the gate behind him. He crossed to the door of the hen house and opened this. He disap- peared inside, leaving the door open. Hooty heard the clucking of the hens. He flew over and alighted on one of the posts of the hen yard. From this he could look into that house. Farmer Brown's Boy didn't hear Hooty when he flew over there. You know, Hooty files without making a sound. Now, though Farmer Brown's Boy didn't see Hooty alight on that post, some one else did. That some one was Peter Rabbit, Peter had been hiding | under the barn. He had come out | just in time to see Hooty alight. In- | stantly Peter crouched close o the barn and froze. That means that he became motionless, He didn't want ‘Hooty 50 see him. The very thought of such a thing made him shiver and | shake with fright. | But Hooty was too intent on the | inside of that hen house to look any- | where else. Seeing this, Peter fell | better. He knew that the wise thing | for him to do was to run back under | the barn and stay there until there was no chance that Hooly would be about. He knew this, but he didn't do it. He didn't do it because curi- osity wouldn't let him. There was Hooty. There, just inside the hen | house was Farmer Brown's Boy. What would happen if he should turn and | see Hooty sitting on that post? Peter | just had to stay in case such a thing should happen. Now it was quite unlike Hooty to be 50 bold as to appear in broad day- | light, where he could be so readily seen, and Peter knew this. “I wonder | what he will do if Farmer Brown's | Boy turns,” thought Peter. | And then Peter gasped. Yes, sir. Peter gasped. Hooty the Owl had | spread his wings and launched him- self into the air. Peter thought Hooty | was about to fly away. Instead, he | ‘dmppcnred in that hen house! Yes, | | sir, Hooty flew straight into that hen | house where Farmer Brown's Bow was. Do you wonder that for just a | moment Peter doubted his own eyes? | Then there was a great racket in | that hen house and a few of the hens came running out. The hens squawked and Farmer Brown's Boy yelled. A reat dark bird came out. It was | Hooty. He carrfed something in his great claws. It was a hen. Farmer Brown's Boy appeared in the door- way. He shouted twice at Hooty, try- ing to make him drop that hen. Hooty didn’t. No, indeed, Hooty didn't. He would have fought any one who had tried to take that prize away from | Eoprright 1937, Lisaxrr & Myvaas Tosacoo oy b THE EVENING STAR, Bedtime Stories ‘A Bold Move. him. He flew straight for the Green Forest, Farmer Brown's Boy watched Hooty out of sight. He, shook his head and started to drive back the hens that had run out of the house, “My goodness, that fellow was bold,” he exclaimed, “I've known % ks HE FLEW OVER AND ALIGHTED ON ONE OF THE POSTS OF THE HEN YARD. Hooty & long time, but never before Las he done such & bold thing. He actually brushed my face with one of his wings. He must have been des- perate. He must have been so hun- €ry that he was driven to taking any chance that offered. Yes, sir, he must have been mighty desperate to do such & bold thing as thut. Weather like this is pretty tough ou the birds and animals, To me it is one of the marvels of nature that they manage to live through a Winter. Snow is hard enough on some of them, but ice like this is worse. I wonder if Hooty will come back for another pullet.” Meanwhile Hooly was flying swiftly to get out of sight, to & place where he could eat that pullet he had so daringly captured.
