These (lays, at iiic end or winter, Blticky was doing some spying. He iias trying in find just where in the Green Forest Hooty the Oiil and Mrs, Hnoiy, bxggest mem- bers of their fainiiy, were living. Every night Blricky heard the hunting calls or the two big feath- ered huntera and lie alwaya ahlv- ered when he heard them. But in the day time he never heard those huiitiiig rails. and so far he had not 0l)('P seen either of the two big oiils. He auspected that they were sleeping or at. least resting in some serret place where they were not likely to be disturb- ed.

You see, Blacky knew irliat. tlinsc little bundles of fur and feathers were. He knew that they iicre all that remained of iurred and feath- ered folk caught and eaten by one of those owls.
