News travels as fast in the Green Forest as it does outside, especially if it is bad news. In so far as the smaller folk of Green Forest are concerned, any news about Booty the Owl is bad news. For quite a while no one had known where I-locty and Mrs. Hooty were nest- ing. It worried some of the Green Forest folk. They wanted to know where that nest was so they could keep away from that neighborhood.

it was Bobby Coon who found out that they were nesting in a hciiow in a certain big tree deep in the Green Forest. Of course he started to spread the news. l-tight away he found that at first no- body believed him. Never since anyone could remember had Hooty and Mrs. Hooty made their home in a hollow tree. Little spooky the Screech Owl did that. but Hooty and Mrs. 1-locty had always used 9. big outside nest. so when they heard that this year those big Owls were using a hollow in a tree. they Just couldn't believe it.

Biacky the Crow has to find out things for himself. He was the first one to pay a call on MT. and Mrs. l-looty. It wasn't. exactly a

call. He didn't go too near. He has the best of eyes, so he stopped in a tree at a safe distance and used those good eyes. He had taken care to wait until the brightest part of the day, because while Hooty can see even in the bright- est daylight. he doesn't like itand he usually keeps quiet. dozing. Ai- most at once Blacky discovered I-iooty doing just that. It was a great temptation to go and get all the other Crcws and lead them back to torment I-looty. He didn't dare bother Hooty alone. but like so many other folks Blacky can be very brave in a crowd. and a flock of Crows can make life very very miserable ior an owl just by gath- ering around and cawing at him. and pretending they are going to att ck him.

glacky saw the dcorway high up in a tree. He wished he dared go over and peel: in just to satisfy his curiosity. was or was not Mrs. Hooty inside there? He wondered how he could find out without go- ing over and looking inside. He didn't quite dare do that. He didn't have to. Suddenly there was Mrs. Hocty's face framed in the door- way.

Of course Blacky spread the word that it was true. Sammy Jay went over to see. Mrs. Grouse went over to see. Both of them took very great care that they -themselves were not seen. All that day there

West opened the spade king. The ace was played from dummy. dc- clarer discarding a heart. and then a club was led to the ace and a club returned to the king.

were visitors to the neighborhood. but very cautious visitors. Even You 580 nobody had anything special to do No one else was nesting. No one but Whisky Jack the Canada Jay, who had come down to spend the winter, was even yet thinking of nesting. so excepting for hunting for something to eat. no one had anything special to do but satisfy curiosity.

After their curiosity was satis- fied everybody kept away from that part of the Green Forest. It is al- ways that way wherever Hooty and Mrs. I-looty make their home.

Meanwhile Mrs. Hooty was more and more pleased with her new home. "Why in the world haven't we done this before?" thought she as she listened to rough Brother North Wind howling outside.
