with the coat and sleeves bordered in

a long Ginning skirt. and a coat so

this way or that way. So 1t was that
just as he was almost up to that nest
he received one of the greatest, the
most unpleasant surprises of his
whole life. Without any warning at

That blow knocked Bobby of and
he fell. But he didn't fall far. You

what had happened. He didn't know
what had hit him. However, he didn't

looked into swooping down at him.
Bobby tried to dodge. but he was just
too late Once again he was struck.
But this time Bobby set his claws
on. That blow hurt. but 1T did not
knock him off. He snarled angrily,
and then quickly climbed around to

Owl, and Me understood his mistake.
He knew that Hooty's children were
in that nest above him, but he hadn't
the slightest desire to get them.
The next time Hooty swooped at

hissed and snapped his bill as only
Hooty can. Bobby Coon snarled and
growled. Then Mrs. Hooty arrived
Mrs Hooty was bigger and even

Each day an old. old couple passes
beneath my office window. I've
watched them now for months. She's
growing down, a tiny. white-haired
wife, her gentle eyes blue blurred
like some wee babes. her face gone
back to gArlish wistfulness. But he
is still erect, though frail as some old
tower, empty to the wind. The fire
OF his virile years has gone. but still
he holds his head acock as though
he challenged every passerby. He
looks a little like some ten-year-old
boy who's busy scalping Indians
though ia hate to tell him so. And
SO they pass. she clinging to his arm
and ne quite bristifng with the sweet
old habit Of loves chivalry. Some
heads anod. But oftener they pass
without a word, "one body and one
aoul"-content.
The beauty Of it seems not made Of
earth!
One dreams and wakens. fights and
loses in the game Of youth-binds up
the bleeding-shrugs shoulder
passes on alone. That's life; why
whine? And loneliness is like chal-
lenge to your soul-when you are
young. You're proud to prove that
you can take the trail alone.
But when one thinks of those long
years ahead-no arm to lean on, no
necktie to pat in shape, no little jokes
to chuckle over for the hundredth
time.
It must be sweet to be beloved when
one is old. Perhaps it's worth our
standing countless fretty things.
