Young Hooty was the living im- use of his father. I-footy the Great Horned Owl. He wasnfc quite as big yet. but he soon would be. Truth to tell he was feeling quite as big.just now. You see he had found out what wings are for. For the first time he had used them to fly.

Three East: signalled with A high diamond on the third club - but soon regretted this action! South ruffed West's diamond shill. drew trumps in two leads. and promptly discarded dumrny's heart on long clubs. These deciarers still had to concede a heart trick, sincc t.iere was omy one trump lett on the board. but they had held their loss to 500 points and so earned high match-point scores.

only one East displayed the pro- per lmagination in defending a- gainst five spades doubled. He con- sidered the possibility that West had only three clubs. and instead of waiting to over-ruff dummy on a perhaps never coming fourth lead of the suit. this East ruffed the third round! He realized that his trumps were of no great import- ance and that West might welcome a. heart lead through declarer. Then, if the clubs had really been divided 4-4 between declai-er and West. the latter. knowing the sit- uation. would lead still another club, and East could over-ruff dummy on that round.

In short, nothing could be lost

' by rufflng West's club queen. but

there was the possibility of gain through this procedure.

The extra trick gained by the one imaginative East gave "top on the board" to his pair.

He had left the nest high up in a big tree where all his short lite up to now had been spent. He was out in the Great World and never w.0uld go back to that heat again. Anyway. he never would go back there to stay. He felt very bold and important.

"I have known all along than I could fly. It is easy. There is no- thing to it. You Just flap your wings and there you are flying." he thought as he fluffed out his fea- thers to make himself look bigger. He hoped his sister still up in the nest was looking over the edgeand watching him, and the fuss father and mother were making over him.

The truth is, what he had done he had not intended to do at all just then. He had been standing on the edge of the nest flapping his wings slowly. pretending he was going to fly. Then he had spied his father coming with some mod and in his greed had leaned so far out from the edge of the nest that he had tumbled off. In his fright he had flappcd his wings hard and they had carried him safely down to the old stump on which he was now sitting. True enough he hadn't flown up or straight away. but down. However. he had flown. not fallen. He had found out what. wings are for.

Father and mother were fussing over him. They were as excited as it he had done something really big. They were flying about him. snapping their bills and making ri great fuss. Father had fed him the food that had been the cause oi his falling out of the nest. And then mother had brought more. They seemed to have forgotten his sister up in the nest. l-le could hear her crying.

"May I go hunting with you?" he asked Hooty.

I suspect that could Hooty smile he wouldvhave smiled then. But he cannot smile or even grin. No Owl can. Nor can other birds. or course not. How could they with such stilf lips? Of course in a way their bills really are their lips.

"When you can fly I'll talre you

hunting with me,” said Hooty.

"But I can fly. I flew down here." replied Hooty. I suspect there was is twinkle in those big, round. yel- low eyes of his.

Young Hooty tried. l-le jumped up in the air flapping his big wings and did fly a little way above the ground but not up. l-le flapped his wings as fast as he could he went only a little way before dropping to the ground. Glad enough he was to have something solid under him. The ground felt funny to his feet. He never had been on it before. never had had a. flat surface un- der his feet. There was nothing for his toes and big curved claws to curl around and take hold or. l-le didn't like it. He felt clumsy and out of place. Using his wings to help him he half hopped. half fluttered to a small log. That was something to take hold of. l-le could dig his claws into it. He felt better.

.Mother flew down beside him. "Are you all right?" she asked. anx- lously.

"Of course he's all right. But he won't be long if he stays down here 01”. the ground." declared i-looty. hovering just above them. "Sup- posing Reddy Fox or Gray Fox or

'We must get him up out oi: their reach. up in a tree it possible.' said ii-frsl. Hooty anxiously.

'He can climb if he cant fly.” said Booty.

"1 can fly." protested young Hoo- ty. He jumped up beating his wings furiously. They lifted him off the ground and landed him two or three feet up on a tail stub of a tree that leaned slightly. l-le dug his claws in. all the time flapping his wings to help him keep his balance. Digging his claws in and helping himself with his wings he climbed right to the top of that tall stub and there he perched in tri- umph.

I-footy "Hr-ill do. He's
