The frightened young rat in scram- bling out hit it, and down came the lid with . bang. IL scared Spooky almosts out of his wits and at the same time made him a prisoner. It was dark, of course. Spooky didn't mind the darkness. but it did fright- en him to be a prisoner. When he tried to fly up. all he could do was to bump against the lid of that grain bin.
 Spooky had been frightened more than once in his life, but never had he had quite such a fright as this. He was so frightened that he actu- ally forgot the young rat he had caught. And when SpC oky the Screech Owl has caught rat or a mouse and forgets it, you may know that he is very much upset, indeed. He imagined all sorts of dreadful things. He wondered what Farmer Browns Boy or Farmer Brown would do to him. for he knew that one Of them would be sure to find him there. Altogether, it was a most forlorn little Screech Owl that covered down in corner of the big grain bin.

Spooky liked Farmer Browns barn. He liked living in there. For 2 while there was better hunting than there was outside. You see, there were many mice and many rats in Farmer Browns barn. and rats and mice are the favorite food of the Owl family. So take it all in all. Spooky was spending the most comfortable winter that he could recall.
 Spooky hadn't lived in that barn . very great while before he knew all about 1t. He knew just where he was nest likely to ind . dinner when he was hungry. He knew that the grain bin was . continual temptation to the rats and mice. The biz rats hs let alone. but the small and half-grown rats he caught whenever he could. Once in . while, Farmer Brown or Farmer Browns Boy would be careless and leave the lid of tho grain bin up. If it were left up any length of time at all, . meuss or . rat was pretty sure to get inside. Spooky had discovered this. 4e he used to perch up on . raftsr in the roof. from which he sould look down into that grain bin.
 It happened one morning that Farmer Browns Boy was in a great hurry whom hs fed the horses and the cow. He fully intended to close the lid of the grain bin. but he didn't do it. He forgot it. He went on and left it open. It wasn't d great while before venturesome young rat was inside that grain bin Spooky saw the young rat go in spooky shifted his position and leaned over. 50 that he could Sec better. There was the young rat ir . corner of the grain bin. stuffins himself. Spooky was tempted Spooky was sorely tempted.
 T can drop right down in thai place. pick that young rat right ou' of it. and get out myself without z bit of trouble. I don't believe there is any danger there at all," though spooky.
 Still he hesitated. You see, h. was . little suspicious of that grail bin. He had seen rats and mice g in and out of it and nothing hap pened to them. But he had also seer it opened and closed by F'arme Brown and Farmer Browns Boy And anything that could be opened and closed must be regarded witt suspicion, So now, two or thre, times Spooky leaned forward as if t fly down, and then drew back. H jusst didn't quite dare to do it.
 By this time there was anothe young rat in the grain bin. Spook could see the two rats stuffing them selves as only rats can. The sigh was too much for him. It certanl couldn't be any more dangerous 70 him in that bin than for the tw rats that were there. Down fle, Spooky, as lightly as a feather There was no sound. There va nothing to warn those rats. Dow he dropped. straight into tha grain bin, and had one of those raj before the latter knew he wa about. The second rat squeale with fright and scrambled up ot of that grain bin.
 Now. it just happened that th lid of that bin was not thrown wa back. In fact, 1t was almost ba anced. A good puff of wind wou1 AAvo blown 1t over and closed i

When Lacy Shaw, county commissioner
in charge of the northern suburban
district. and E. c. Duncan, district
engineer of the State Road Commits
sion, visited owners of property here
last night to determine whether they
would sell land for rights OF way for
the approaches to the proposed over

Mr.. Shaw. All of the owners who were
approached last night, Mr.. Shaw said

Only those owners having land in the
proposed new right-of-way for new

the intersection of Connecticut avenue

last night, Mr.. Shaw said, and the
others will be seen on Monday night.
The committee was accompanied by
Town Councilman Hartshorn. Mr..
Shaw said that no offers of dedication
of land were obtained from owners on
the Connecticut avenue side of the
tracks, but on the east side, the owners
of which will be visited Monday. he had
been informed that some dedications
would be received. There are said to
be two houses within the proposed
right-of-way on the new street on the
west. or Connecticut avenue side Of the

Minister Tomas Manuel Elio will pre-
sent his resignation to President Har-

reliable sources. 1t is believed that the
rest of the cabinet may resign when
Congress convenes. There has been
considerable resentment here in con-
nection with the protocol of the Tacna-
africa treaty between Peru and Chile,
which nullified any hope of landlocked
Bolivia to gain an opening to the Pa
cific Coast.
The newspaper La Razon, referring to
the protocol, which was made public
last Sunday, said 1.-THE Yale protocol
is good name in view of the fact that
it locks Bolivia's ambition for an outlet
to the sea-" The editorial also ex-
pressed puzzlement as to whether

arbiters in settling the border contro-
versy, knew of the protocol or whether
