"No." said Mrs. Bladry. "Hie best think we can do in get away tram here. and keep out of eight for the pruent. I gueu we just oan't use that nest after all. and it was the best one we ever had." y

"Don't be so upset, my dear." replied Blacky. "Those Owls pro- bably had just found our old nast. and were looking it, over out of curiosity. They may never go near it again. We are not ready to use it now, and by the time we are ready to nest they probably will be nesting somewhere else."

”I tlhfnk it will do." said Mrs. Hn0t.V. as she leaned over the edge of the nest. and pushed a small stick inrto place.

"Are you sure it is big enougvh?” asked Hooty:

"You dmft think I would look at itmtwice if I didn't think it was bu: A-on-ugz'h. do you?" retm-red Mrs. Hooiy.

"Very little." replied Mm. Hooty. ”We me; have to add a few sticks. and pevlmp: fix up the inside a little, but that is all."
