Rescued Chicken From the TalOns OF
a Hawk I'm Air.

W p. COIlup says that Brakeman
Ed Fear dared the role Of the heroic
Sunday, and won He saved only a
little chicken from the clutched talons
Of a fast escaping hawk, and gave Il
again into the warm touch OF its
mothers wing. But even that Is al
together good No doubt Ed IS a read

NAL paper, and has that fellow feeling
that inspired Burns to write those i'm
mortal poems. ITO a Mouse" and ''TO
a Mountain Daisy"
We hope that same kindness is in
him and everybody, but the rescuing
Of the chicken is another story. Sun
day Ed Fear and Mr.. and Mrs. COllup
drove to Q. A Brannon's place on the
Smoky for a day OF recreation The
day was pleasant and the two men
hunted and hshed. At noon the visit
ors took dinner at Brannon,s, and had
gotten on the outside Of the goods
things to eat, when a hawk pulled up
for its chicken dinner, TOO
An old mother hen, cluczing and
in the happy possession Of sixteen wee
ones, was scratching about In the
yard, thinking nothing Of the spec
tacular performance that was about
to take place. The hawk saw his op-
portunity, swOpped down into that
little family, clutched one and was
making his way hence when the cries
Of the old hen awakened the people
in the house. Mr.. Fear took in the
situation at a glance, grabbed his gun
and ran out, but the bird was well
started with its prey. Hawk and man
were both tanning the atmosphere
the hawk to get higher into the air;
the man to get to the side Of a hay
stack to take aim.
Now was q great difficulty encoun-
tered: If I shoot, thought Fear,
Will kill the hawk and the chicken
too; and if I don't shoot, I'll lose any
way. I viii shoot with the intention
Of killing the falcOn-only just as
Tell prayed that his arrow might spill
/ the apple and leave his boy unframed
| Pif, went the gun and down came the
hawk and the chicken all in heap
Fear ran to see If the shot went true
with his hope, and 10, the hawk was
| dead, the chicken all unframed. Be
| ing liberated from its prison Of horny
/ talons, it scampered away and hid
/ itself under its mothers wings
