to be alone, except during courting
and honeymoon days. At that time
you can hear his variety of calls.
These are loud, determined, and carry
far on a quiet night. 1t Is impossible
to sleep late in the vicinity of these
owls when the mating call is going
its best.
Hollow trees and old crowN' or
hawks nests are choice nursery sites.
At the bottom OF the deep, dark place
two to four eggs are laid. There is
one set of children each year. In
Florida, the cradles are made ready
as early as from December to Feb
ruary,. while in the North, according
to temperature, the nesting time is
from March to April. Although some
Northern owl mothers have been
known to lay their eggs on icy mat
treSses in February, it is with no idea
of cold storage The mother came
North earlier than some of her neigh
bors, for some barred owls migrate.

is a shade lighter, and there is an
other member who is a Mexican high

These owls are the especial delight
and joy of teasing neighbors. The
determined tormentors of the sleepy
are the cardinals, sparrows, jays, TIT
mice and others. They join forces at
times to peer into the startled eyes of
the sleepy owl. The jays scold. the
sparrows tease, the cardinals peck and
the titmice taunt. Crows, hearing
the uproar, descend upon the poor owl.
This is enough; the beleaguered one
seeks shelter from this foe, who can
do more damage than merely annoy.
The food list is composed first of all
of mice-which make the owls friends
of ours. Other small mammals are
included, such as shrews and moles.

had been clipped. This means that
certain of the big feathers used in

any chance there was an opening by
which he could get in. Not finding
any, he made his way down to the
pond.

pond. Between steps he stopped to
listen and to test every little Night

Little Night Breeze brought him a
scent. 1t was the scent that he had
hoped he would get. 1t was the scent
of Goose. 1t came from in among
the rushes at the end of the pond.
Reddy crawled through the grass to
the edge of those ruSheS. There he
laid for some time listening and
smelling. At last he was satisfied.

There are two Geese and there is a
nest. That nest is out among the
rushes. 1t is farther out than wish

we would nave no trouble. l could
catch that Goose right on her nest.
AS 1t is I'm afraid it will take two
Of us to do it."
OF course, all this time Reddy's
ears were listening for any sounds
that might come from the water.
Presently he heard a low sleepy CAB
BILE. Those Geese were talking to-
gether. 1t told Reddy that they were
light sleepers and that, while Mrs.
Goose sat on the eggs Mr.. Goose was
at all times on guard. Reddy knew
that the slightest sound would awaken
that Goose.
When Reddy reached home he told
Mrs. Reddy all that he had found out
and they planned that on the follow
ing night they would visit that pond
together and see what they could do.

IA /HEN winter rides whitecaps along the
Wv seas crest the surf caster shuf1es into
his warmest sweater. He puts on his boots and
his last years pants. Under one arm he tucks
a quart vacuum bottle full of coffee, and under
the other scaly tackle box Fishing rod over
his shoulder, away he hikes for the beach.
Summer has many sports; winter has few.
From end to end of the Pacific Coast, surf an
glers hang on all through the cold months, the
seasons most obvious evidence that optimism
never dies. They fish from rocks; they fish from
long shallow beaches They brave jetties at
night. BY bonfre-light along desolate strands
they bait for corbina, spotfn, surf perch or
what-have-you
Perhaps their catch won't fill the sack as full
as summers angling did. But they find in winter
fishing whole new set of obstacles and insplra-
tions. Where in summer the surf casters were
greeted by a sweet warm breeze broiling
sun, an idle sea and many a fine fat fish, in
winter they must face chill wind dull or
threatening sky and a surf and sea beyond
that dare them to do their casting
The true surf caster loves his sport the more
for its added mseres in the cold months. If
he catches fewer fish, at least the winter fish
are savagely hungry and willing to give him
hard fight His blowing on chilled hands, his
annoyance at lighting pipe despite blasts of
casting and recasting-all have their sweet re-
ward in tussle with some slippery grandfather
fish.
Now trout fisherman first encountering a
surf caster might wonder whether the ocean
fisher were after whales, or perhaps trying to
snare the sunken wreck of an old ship. The
tackle is heavy,

Woe his lot if a snar impedes the whistling

and sinker disappears forever.
The surf casting rod is truly enough to make
any trout fisherman stare. 1t is eight or ten
feet long, of brown or yellow bamboo. OF course,
there are plutocrats who own expensive two

core of line he turned but did not slow his
hooked adversary.
Running along the beach to keep even with
the line he called upon fishermans luck to
help him in his moment of need The taut line
took him farther and farther along the beach
He splashed ankle deep in the wash and 1oun-
dered knee-deep when waves caught him.
Grimly he kept a strain on the line, fearing
to feel it drop slack
A quarter-mile from his original stand he
hauled his opponent into breaker and whisked
it into shallow water. There was no slvery
flash of fish's belly. Amazed he saw black
creature which foundered like dog. He turned
a fashlight beam on it. With velvety black eyes
the creature returned his gaze.

Many Men Brave Rain, Running
Seas, ToTryLuckWit Heavy Tackle

Every fisherman has his own rules for tackle,
but a standard leader for the sport is of heavy
gut four or five feet long with from two to
four hooks The snker is thumb-sized weight
designed to hold against water-drag
Bait is a problem which turns the surf caster
prematurely gray. Shall it be clans tonight,
or rock worms, or how about mussels this eve
ning-or what do you say about sand crabs?
The tormented fisherman frets over such ques-
tions even more than he stews over weather
and tide the moons phases temperature of the
surf around his knees, and lateness of the hour.
Some fishermen are strong for finding their
own bait. Rather than stoop to buying razor
clans and mussels they would spend hours
grubbing in mud flats sieving the surf for
elusive sand crabs. Other fishermen long ago
became resigned to the placing of quarter
or half dollar on the bait vendors counter.
Some surf casters fish alone On a desolate
beach at night they may be mistaken easily
for stub pilings, unless they move. Hour after
hour with the surf booming and the clouds
scudding across the moon, they bait, cast, stand
ankle deep puff smoke for five or ten or fifteen
minutes. and then if no strike they reel
in the line and do it all over again
AANY a spectator has watched such pro-
NJ cedure for hour or so and then turned
away. shaking his head Yet the casters swear
by their sport What could make man wade
half the night in cold sea water, with the winter
wind on him?
Old-timers at surf casting learned long ago
not to try to explain their enthusiasm. The
sound of rushing waves, the sting of wind, the
searching for a game fish out somewhere in
half visible breakers-all that is enough to sat-
isfy the oldsters at the game. Such fishing is
close to nature, closer than almost any other
popular modern sport. The fisherman is alone
with the elements which has loved ever
since he found the When he dips his tackle
into the oceans brink, it's anybody's guess what
kind of sea creature may gulp the hook.
Stng-ray skate may give the angler a
battle and disappointment. A five-foot shark
may test his skill and cut his line with swat
of horny tail-fuke

Ming was electrified by feeling terrific strike.

lighted at first, he soon became alarmed. By

Fl Like every other sport worth honest effort
surf casting has its hazards, mental and physi-
cal.
The angler may prepare all week for nights
fishing He may take apart and oil his reel, soak
and tie new leaders, save days lunch money
for bait. and in due time embark in his auto
mobile, leaving behind his II bowling children
and his wife. Miles from home on the end of
some dismal sand spit far from the nearest cross
roads he may discover that he has left his
hooks at home, or come away without matches
or tobacco, or his lunch, or bait or even the
all-precious sinkers or the reel itself.
The ocean has way of picking up driftwood
at ebbing tide transporting the wood few
miles and casting it ashore again.
