Sammy Jay Makes Shrewd Guess

Sammy Jay was the most surprised

didn't appear to be in the least harmed
by that terrible gun of Farmer Browns
boy. You remember that Sammy
had screamed "Thief, thief. thief" at
+he top of his lungs when Whitley had
alighted on the roof of Farmer Browns
henhouse. He had waited and waited,
hidden in the big cedar tree in Farmer
Browns dooryard, to do just this
thing. He had hoped that by so doing
he would bring Farmer Browns boy
out and that Farmer Browns boy
would give Whitley the Snowy Owl such
y fright that he would leave the Green
Meadows ard the Green Forest for
good.
Farmer Browns boy had poked his
mead out the door TO see what Sammy
was making such fuss about and had
seen Whitley at once. The instant he
saw him he knew what Whitley was
there for. He knew that Whitley had
returned to try to catch another fat
hen. at once Farmer Browns boy had
stepped out with his terrible gun, the
