much as possible. Hooty Is awkward
on the ground. but he can get around
and did. All he wanted was to scare
Peter into running. Then those broad
wings of his would take him after Peter
faster than Peter could run.
Peter tried stealing away, keeping
under the big leaves of the cabbage,
but Hooty followed, using his wings
He wasn't fooled. Those wonderful
ears of his can catch the faintest OF
sounds. Though Peter tried his best
not to he couldn't help rustling a Leaf
now and then and each time Hooty
heard it. Gradually they worked near
the edge OF the garden. Then Hooty
flew up on fence post and sat SO
straight and still that he appeared to
be part Of the post
From there he could look down and
those wonderful eyes of his, made for
seeing at night, would catch the small
est movement anywhere near. It was
fortunate for Peter that he happened
to see Hooty fly up on that post. for SC

the value of long and patient waiting.
When he has waited so long that he is
certain that any who saw him alight
will have forgotten him he sounds his
hunting call and a fierce and fright
ening sound 1t Is. So he sat on that
post and waited and waited and waited.
Then suddenly he gave that fierce
hunting call and instantly leaned for
ward the better to listen He had
hoped to so startle Peter that he would
jump and show himself.
Peter didn't. He almost did, but
managed to keep still. He understood
exactly what Hooty was trying to do.
He had had experience with Hooty be-
fore. So, although his heart jumped
at that dreadful sound. he kept still
At last Hooty gave up. He was too
hungry to sit still there any longer
He flew with noiseleSS wings low over
the cabbages back and forth. his great
eyes searching among the leaves. Then

knew he had gone, but didn't know
where or how far So there was moth

He may have gone back to the

be safe Ouch. how that tear in my
coat hurts! I'll have to wait until I
hear him hoot so far away that there
will be no more danger from him. "

that he had forgotten Reddy Fox and
Bowser the Hound Now he became
aware that Bowser's voice was sounding
near. He listened Yes, 1t was steadily

somewhere ahead of Bowser was Reddy
Fox and he must be headed straight

Progress in a Century.
Balloon to Airplane.

IF YOU had lived a century ago you
might have heard people talking
about the great Nassau balloon"
i which had been constructed in
England and which was regarded
as wonder.
In 1885 that ballon made q trip
which startled those who heard about
It, In 18 hours 1t travelled 500 miles
mlAning an average speed OF almost ~
miles per hour!
That was indeed q fast journey for a
balloon, and it took place only because
strong winds carried It toward the point
where it landed.
In those days people were able to
travel through the air, but they could
not be sure where they would land.
A leak in the gas bag might make
them come down soon after setting out.
Even II there was no such leak, the
winds were likely to carry them far
from the place they had hoped to land.
The custom was to wait for the wind
to blow in the right direction before
. journey was started, but there Is no
telling when winds will change.
When dirigible balloons were in
vented, men were able to use gas bags
in travelling against the winds. Count
Zeppelin of Germany Is the most ia
NOUS Of the pioneers who worked with
this type of balloon and in his honor
we often speak Of dirigibles as 'zeppe-
lins."
While some men were trying to build
balloons which, with the help of power
driven propellers, would cut into the
wind when necessary, others were dar-
ing to try to fly in heavier-than-air
machines

How it Started
That Word "Egregious." :"
By JEAN NEWTON.
"An egregious asst"

"An egregious asst"
That is the context in which most OF
us are familiar with the word "egre-
gious." There is the 'egregious ras-
CAL" Of course, and We have heard
"egregious impudence."
In all those uses the word means
prominent. distinguished, outstanding
in a bad sense. Originally. however, the
term was used to describe something
that was surprising and extraordinary
in good sense.
The word has an interesting origin,
in that the basis for its significance OF

FIVE-DAY WEEK

: There has been some talk that the New York season of 1883 would have to be curtailed and some of the smaller tracks closed, due to the shrinkage in receipts and a system of "oral" wagering which benefits neither the management, the state, nor the bettor.
 Due to the legal technicalities involved, there is no chance for any restoration of horse racing wagering in New York on a pari- mutuel basis. The agitation for it prompted by business depres- sion, has been too dilatory to be effective. Opposition, too, would be difficult to overcome. Mean while. however, a retrenchment program and perhaps a "five-day' racing week will be in order for the new year.

LATONIO, Ky, Jan. 3.-Appar- antly headed for the riding cham pionship of the country, Jockey Gilbert Ellston plunged to the hard surface of the jockey-club track here, and now may never ride again, though doctors say that is far from likely.
 But even if he is unable again to take the saddle, Ellston prob ably will finish third among the leading riders of the year because of the brilliant work that put him at the top early in the season.
 The accident that sent him down killed the hopes of two jock eys for riding leadership in 1892, for Monte Parke was held re- sponsible and was suspended for the remainder of the season.
 At the time Ellston had taken 748 mounts, and had won on 168 of them. His elimination left the contest for top honors between Johnny Gilbert and Hank Mills.
