The Hunting of Hooty the Owl.

OF all the hunters in the Green
Forest there is none more fierce or
more feared than Hooty the Owl, some
times called the Great Horned Owl be-
cause of two tufts of feathers that
stand above his head like horns. He is
the largest of the Owl family, and so
big and strong and fierce that he Is
known as the Terror of the Night to
all the little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows.
Redtail the Hawk and all the other
Hawks hunt wholly by day, and they
depend on their wonderful eyesight
Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote depend
very much on their noses when they
are hunting. OF course. their eyes and
their ears help out their noses Hooty
the Owl depends on his ears. helped
out by his eyes, which are made for
seeing when there is not light enough
for all the eyes of those he hunts to
see at all. Also he depends somewhat
on his voice to aid his wonderful ears
and eyes.
Other hunters hunt silently. They take
the greatest pains to make no sound
But Hooty uses his voice, and this is
the way he does 1t: He sits on the top
of tall, dead tree looking like part
Of the tree itself. All about him Is the
Green Forest wrapped in darkness by
the Black Shadows. Suddenly Hooty
breaks the silence. "Whooo-hoo-hoo.
whooo-hoo" he hoots, and there is
something so fierce and terrifying in
the sound that all the little people,
wakened from their sleep by it, shiver
with fear Then. if one of them near
him moves ever so little so as to make
the faintest rustic or scratch of claws.
Hooty's wonderful ears are sure to
catch the sound. In an instant on noise

IN VAIN.
peering with great fierce eyes that will
be sure to see the least movement. and
ready with great claws to seize the
victim DO you wonder that no one is
more feared than Hooty the Owl?
With the coming of the Black Shadows
Hooty started forth to look for the
Gobblers he. had overheard Reddy Fox
and Mrs. Reddy talking about. AS
silently as the Black Shadows he few
this way and that way over the Green
Forest, peering down sharply among the
trees Hooty's wings are so made that
he can fly without making a sound. This
way and that way he flew. but saw
nothing of the Gobblers Then as it
grew darker he flew to one of his ia
! vorite watch-towers, which was tall
dead tree. Making his voice sound as
fierce as he could. which was
very fierce indeed, he hooted, then in
stantlv listened with all his might. A
mouse squeaked family with fright. and
that was his last squeak. But mouse
was but bite to Hooty. He was after
Gobblers, so he tried again. Nothing
happened. After a wait he tried q third
time without result.
Then Hooty flew to another part of the
Green Forest and did the same thing.
He visited all his favorite watch
towers, bu sit was all in vain. Disap
pointed. he began to do a little think
ing.
"IIow stupid of me- said he "Of
course those Gobblers have heard me
before. They know where am in the
habit of hunting, and so they wouldn't
go to roost near one of my watch
towers 1 must try in other places"
So Hooty spread his noiseless wings
and flew from place to place in the
Green Forest. hooting fercely from the
tops of tall trees whenever the sur
roundines seemed to promise a hiding
place for the Gobblers. And so it came
about that just by chance he finally
dropped down in the top of the very tree
in which the Gobbler family was Sleep
