Germaine was represented by Law

making his fight in the higher court. Ger
maine was arraigned and found guilty,
and fined go and costs and ten days in jail
on two counts, viz-for sale and keeping
for sale. A nuisance case was also record
ed against him, upon which he pleaded
not guilty and was bound over to the

theirs old shotgun double loaded, the
wary old owl didn't come near. Sandy's
father said he smellcd the gun.
"Pll get him yet" said Sandy, with
determination.
That very afternoon bright plan
popped into Sandy's head. He cut q long
pole in the woods, sawed off the top
square and smooth, nailed board on
it, and set it up firmly in 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 a
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 to 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 went to town, he
took him along, and a dealer in stuffed
birds told him that it was the finest
specimen of an owl he bad ever geen.
Sandy, being of 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 pr lets. Chicago
