cones to make fancy baskets, which Bess and
Nell had conceived a great desire to fashion.
While there a red squirrel attracted his at.
tenton by his antics. He was running up and
down an old beech tree which stood IN the
midst of the pines, and friskng airily. :,
All at once he popped into hole well up
among the limbs, and Joe could hear queer
gupgling and kissing inside. Then the spur
ing his tail and ''snickering. as though he had
cen something that amused his vastly.
While the squirrel was in the tree Joe had
crept up close and stood very still, for he
not moi, help taking another peep, And pretty
soon he did, and the same peculiar kissing,
.r,roling sound accompanied by a great snap
ning and clicking and rustling, was heard in
the tree, and again the squirrel backed out
and ''snickered."
''1 ~ do believe the old owls nest is in there"
And he set down his basket, and after much
hard scrambing he had climbed up and be-
strided the limb opposite the hole. 1t was
,,ar,y dark inside and, breaking off piece of
dead branch, Joe ran it down into the cavity.
The same chuck1ing, wheeling croaks came
III, from the bottom, and his stick was seized
and ierked and worried. Joe was not sure
coon. But he was determined that whatever
Il was it should be dislodged. He did not
dare to try grasping it with his bare hand
Ia case he got the bird or beast, how could
he carry it home? Joe stopped to consider.
Then he took off his coarse wool blouse and
dropped it to the foot of the tree, and pulling
off his shoe and stocking, drew the latter over
his hand and thrust it down the aperture as
far as he could reach.
Instantly there was huttering and kissing;
sharp nails grappled into the end of the stock
ing, and the owner of the hole was pulled up
part way, then dropped back.
" "'1'is the old owl sure enough" muttered
joe 'Didnt she claw well?'
And he let down the stocking again, and
again the owl attacked it with beak and nail,

kissing and Tapping and clutching it, and she
was dragged nearly to the mouth of the hole
before her hold broke. To make the next
attempt sure Joe took off his other stocking.
She'll get her big claws so tangled up IN
both Of the woolly things that I'll have her be-
fore she tumbles. Il.
Down went the "trap" again, and the old
owl, now grown furious with these repeated
attacks, fought furiously.
Joe gave sudden jerk and grab, and the
next moment great bird, with feathers
standing out straight and eyes as big as an old
fashioned cent, was in his arms.
Then came desperate struggle. One sharp
claw tore its way through Joes lip, and long
scratches began to cape on his hands. And
how the feathers few! But Joe held ON with
might and main, and somehow managed to
back down the tree with the furious bird still
in hand. Then, fastening its legs with piece
of stout string, he tied it up securely in his
blouse, and went up after the young birds.
There were four, not many days old. Probably
the owl had been disturbed, thus making her
sitting late
Joe stopped no longer for cones, but filling
ur the basket with the owlets, he went home.
There were now eleven owls in stock. They
were greedy creatures and it took the united
efforts of the five children to provide food for
them, and then their appetites seemed far
from being satisfied.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-08

Bess and Nell and Mollie became much in
terested in the grotesque little things, and
spent hours hunting grasshoppers, crickets
and spiders for them. Joe and Ben caught
frogs and field mice, and sometimes bought
scraps OF meat from the butchers.
But the boys had obtained all the owls they
could hope to get that year, and turned their
attention to the bobolinks. With these sly
little creatures they were not very successful ;
but toward the last of June the nest which
Nell had found was filled to overhowing with
five young bobohnks. 1t seemed hard to kid
ma the little things, but Nell had entered into
Joe and Ben's plans, heart and soul. They
had her entire sympathy, and despite her nat
ural reluctance, she brought away three of
the birds.
81 do hope the mother bird can't count"
she said.
They were well grown and lively, and the
girls cared for them assiduously. On the sec
ond day, however, a hard thing happened.
The birds were put into salt box, and Stats
nailed across the top to wait for cages winch
Ben and Joe had not yet prepared. They
were very restless, hopping up and trying to
get their little heads out through the bars.
Nell's big black cat Nimrod, was very Gu
rious, and watched the box with great perti-
nncity, though driven away by its young mis-
tress many times. But feline artfulness out
witted the girls watchfulness at last, for on
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-08

coming to look in the box, toward night, one
of the little creatures lay on its back in the
bottom of the box, with its tiny feet upturned
and its head severed clean from its body and
gone. Nimrod had caught it in his mouth and
bitten it quite off,
Then one of the others died after two or
three days. The boys concluded that they
were not hardy enough to cage, and made no
attempts to secure any more.
One of the nests of young catbirds was
taken, but the other had been molested, and
the dark-green eggs, with the rough nest of
bark strips, leaves and roots, were transferred
to the girls room as the nucleus of a collec-
ton which, in after years, became quite IA
nous.
I will not prolong the story of Joe and Bens
many trials and discouragements, which they
endured philosophically, and losses which they
sustained. But bright hope kept boyish hearts
from giving out altogether. And, too, through
the indefatigable ardor with which they pur-
sued the business, they learned many habits
of the little songsters of which they might
have been ignorant all their lives.
September came, and on Uncle Johns visit
to the old farmhouse he promised to under
take the safe transportation of the birds to
the dealer who was to have them. Two of
the young owls died, leaving nine healthy,
ravenous fellows that Mr.. Hapaday declared
would eat them out of house and home if NOT
disposed of. Joe had got up courage to secure
two orioles to go with the, surviving bobolnk,
four that Ben had brought in. Then there
was pair of bluebirds-in all quite a collec.
ton.
l will not say that Joe and Ben realized as
much from their enterprise as they had antici-
pated yet with a little help they attended
school the next fall. And, seeing how very
much in earnest the, two boys were, and their
eager longing for higher culture, woke their
parents up to the knowledge that there might
be other and better ways of dealing with the
business of life than that which had been in
culcated into their. own minds in the days of
poverty and disadvantages. AT all events,
they were as eager now as the boys themselves
in forwarding their educational desires.
