and then to lick his wounds. For a week nothing happened to add to the small worries that all fa- (then: and mothers know when they thin"? helpless babies to watch over land feed and care for. Hooty could now use that sore foot enough to icio his share of hunting for food ifor those ever open mouths in ;the big nest high in a tall tree iin the most lonesome part of the Green Forest. Then one evening 'as dusk was settling over the Green iForest. l-Iooty sat resting on his fnv rite perch. Mrs. Hooty was at theggest taking care of the. babies. It w 3 very still and peaceful as the Black Shadows stole in among the trees.

Now the Owl folk have very big and wonderful ears. To look at I-iooty you might think he has no ears at all for of course those tufts of feathers standing on opposite sides of his head are not ears. But if you were to brush aside the fea- thers on the sides of his head it might seem to you that he was all ears. so to speak, for you would

Could it be that Bobby Ccon was coming back to try again after all? Hooty flew low over the brush snapping his bill angrily. Mrs. I-footy did the same. It wasnt a pleasant sound to hear.

The Hootys were worried. Yes. sir. they were worried. They flew back and forth so low above the brush they almost touched it. They hissed threats of what they would do to Bobby Coon if he came out in the open where they could get at him. They were sure it was Bobby. He kept so much under t.he brush they couldnt get a good look at him. it didn't enter their heads that it might be someone else.

Theywere worried folk. those two big Owls. They should be off hunt- ing riszht then, but with this fellow prowling about they didn't, dare leave those precious babies up in
