wary old owl didn't come near. Sandy's
father said he smellcd the gun.
9TH get him yet said Sandy, with
determination.
That very afternoon a bright plan
popped into Sandy's head. He cut long
pole in the woods, sawed off the top
square and smooth. nailed a board on
1t, and set it up firmly in a corner of the
fence near the barn. On top of 1t he
placed a steel rat trap, already set, and
fastened by long chain to the post be-
low.
Next morning he was awakened by
terrific commotion in the chicken yard.
He rushed outside, and there was Mr.
Owl flying wildly about with the trap
close fastened to one of his feet. He
had come along early, and thinking that
the post was an excellent place to light
while he picked out the best pullet in the
flock. he had stopped there 10 rest. III
minute Sandy was pulling him down,
and although he scratched and fought
Sandy succeeded in conquering him. He
was a huge horned owl, and the next
week. when Sandy weI% to town, he
took him along, and dealer in stuffed
birds told him that it was the finest
specimen of an owl he had ever seen.
Sandy, being of a practical turn of
mind, offered on the spot tc sell the big
bird. The dealer promptly gave him
four dollars for it, and Sandy at once
paid it over to the man who had rifles to
sell.
81 hope some more big owls will come
along and steal my chickens" he said
to himself on his way home. They're
more profitable than pullets. Chicago

Caught by Means of Very CIeverly Con-

Caught by Means of Very Cleverly Con-
structed Trap.
Some one was stealing Sandy Browns
chickens. Every morning when Sandy
went out to scatter screenings there was
at least one of the younger roosters or
hens missing, usually the very latest
and finest of the flock. Sandy couldn't
understand at all where they went to.
He knew every man in the neighbor-
hood, and every chicken, too, for that
matter, and he knew that some stranger
must be guilty of the thieveries. Now,
il was no small matter to Sandy to have
his plump pullets stolen, for he was only
Il boy, and he was depending on the
money that the eggs and chickens
would bring him to help pay for GER
tain handsome little rife that he longed
to possess. So he determined to watch
and see if he couldn't catch the thief.
Before daylight the next morning he
was up and out, hiding in the corncrib,
where he could see and not be seen.
Not long afterward the chickens came
clucking into the barnyard. For time
everything was quiet and then the old
red-top rooster Strengthened up and be
gan to grumhle and turn his head from
side to side and blink his eyes. There
was a sound of wings in the air, and
huge bird lighted on TIE corner of the
barn. The next instant the chickens
began flying about and clucking eX-
citedly, and then, before Sandy could
open his mouth to shout, the owl, for
IN owl it was, darted down, and Sandy
saw one of his favorite pullets carried
away over the hill. so you're the
thief" exclaimed Sandy. I'll fix you"

A DELECTABLE LAND

Over the hills and far away
There are dreadful dragons that knights
may slay-
Great snorting dragons with brazen scales,
And wings of leather, and coiling tails.
But If you're the proper kind of knight,
With suit of mail and a sword that's
bright,
You may whip those dragons and win the
day,
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and Gar away
There are ogres living in castles gray,
With a horn to blow and the drawbridge
down,
And the ogres below, and stamp, and
froWn.
But it doesn't do to be frightcned-no!
You must face them boldly and strike a
blow,
And then you marry the Princess May,
over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away
There are fairy monarchs in grand array,
With gnomes, and pixies, and brownies,
too;
And my! the marvellous things they do!
But though they startle you Just bit,
They will help lad who is sharp of wit,
And it's fun to watch when they dance and
play
over the hills and far away!
over the hills and far away
You may have an excellent time, l say.
There are golden islands and magic springs
And jabberwockies-and heaps of Things!
You can't be duh in land like that,
With enchanted boots and talking cat,
So is it wonder you long to stray
over the hills and far away?

visits to the barn, and sometimes would
stay with her by the half hour.
Then the chicks came out of their
shells. Don was intensely interested.
All day long he scarcely left the barn.
The next morning, when the hen
stepped off the nest and with a cluck
called her brood after her, Don fol-
lowed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the
fluffy chicks darted hither and thither,
picking up the titbits which the mother
had uncovered.
Good" said Don to himself; 81 can
help in this business" and to the terror
OF the chickens he ran in among them
and began turning up the soil at lively
rate. Then he sat down and waited.
The mother hen called back the chicks
to the newly scratched earth, and soon
they picked it clean. Then the dog took
another turn. And so the good work
proceeded, to the great delight of all
the parties.
