chickens. Now is the time for them to
repay my devotion. And. by gum. they
will do it or get in trouble
THAT afternoon Sol got a couple OF
long sticks, and carrying them over his
shoulders with three hawks perched on
them. started after ducks. Pretty
soon along came a flock of ducks, fly
ing pretty low. Sol united his hawks
and pointed at the ducks. 1t wasn't
half a minute before those trained
hawks understood what was wanted of
them, and off they went at full tilt
after the ducks. Each hawk grabbed
a duck, started back with it toward Sol
and dropped it at his feet.
Then came the first of Soils actions,
which turned aside the hearts of his
| aithful duck hunters. When the hawks
delivered up their ducks to Sol they
began to look for some liver as a re-
ward. But Sol didn't see it that way.
"'Those ducks are still in sight he
says to the hawks, as if they could I'M
derstand him. And duty calls on you
to go after them. Now is your chance
to repay little of my care and atfec-
ton. This is no time TO be looking for
liver
SOL kept pointing at the rapidly dis
appearing flock of ducks, and as his
hawks didn't seem to understand what
he meant, he grabbed a stick and be
gan pounding them with it. 1t was
plain that the hawks were grieved and
mystified, rather than angry. They had
each of them brought in duck. why
didn't they get their liver? And why
did Sol. the man who had fed them and
whom they had looked up to and ven
Grated beat them with a stick?
FINALLY they gave it up as a bat
job trMng to figure out what it al
meant, and seeing that Sol wanted more
ducks, off the hawks started, but act
ing in a patient, puzzled sort of way
that was really pathetic.
"'Those birds of yours are faith
full and well trained, | observed to Sol
but loving kindness isn't the stronges'
quality of any hawk, even an educated
one. If you beat them about once more
they will try to get even with you. Ant
from what l know of hawks, I'm bet
ting they will succeed
But Sol only grunted out that it wa
ducks and not tokens of esteem that h
wanted from those hawks.
After quite wait we saw the hawk

weary when they reached us, but eacl
faithful hawk was bringing back
duck, and laid it in front of Sol. Thel
every bird looked up in an eXpectan

getting his liver. And it was here tina
the real meanness of Soils natur
showed up.
Sol was just going to reward nj
Woodworking birds, when away off t
the north another flock of ducks Shove
up. Then Sol wanted to start his hawk
right after the new flock.

A baby's record is worth keeping for

perhaps, the devoted mother herself

braced himself on his launches, dig

the lion turned a somersault, striking
the earth with his head toward his pur-

that chilled the blood of the young girl,
he sprang into the air with all his
