1t was easy TO say this. but driving
Mr.. Goshswk away was quite another
matter Farmer Browns Boy never
could get within shooting distance OF
him in the Green Forest He spent as
much of that day as he could spare
hunting for Mr.. Gosiawk, but without
result.
The next morning it happened that
Sammy Jay reached the Old Orchard
just in time to see Farmer Browns Boy
| hoping that Farmer Browns Boy would
throw out a little corn. Sammy was
hungry, very hungry. Since the arrival
of Mr.. Goshawk getting enough to eat
had been hard task. You see Sammy
had just as much reason to fear the Gray
Terror as had any one else. So Sammy
had kept his tongue still and had kept

/ hunted for food 1t was because he had
a feeling that Mr.. Goshawk would not
come SO near Farmer Browns house that
Sammy had come 10 the Old Orchard this
morning.
Now. as he hopefully kept an eye on
the door where Farmer Browns Boy had
disappeared. he suddenly became aware
OF some one approaching swiftly through
the air from the Green Forest. 1t was
Mr.. Goshswk aad he was headed straight
for the barIyard. where the hens and the
pigeons were. If only Farmer Browns
Boy would open the door and come out!
Sammy waited instant and then he
opened his mouth.
Thief, Thief, Thief he screamed. as
only he can scream. Thief, Theft

The pigeons and the hens looked UP,
saw the danger and scattered frantieally
for safety Sammy Jay continued to
scream. He wanted to bring Farmer
Browns Boy 10 see what the trouble
was Mr.. Goshawk dashed at Sammy
Sammy lodged and still he screamed. Mr..
Goshawk dashed at him again and missed
Just then the barn door opened and
Farmer Browns Boy appeared Mr.
Goshawk flew away. Sammy Jay gave a
little sigh of relief He had been terribly
frightened. And he had been very brave
