"50 you think. young man. that I was wrong in setting a trap for that thieving Owl who ntoie my Chickens." asked neighbor snow.

"What would you have thought had I shot that Owl instead of trapping ii?" the owner of the chickens Asked. .

"It would have been better than trapping the poor thing. That. is it. would if you were a good enough shot to kill, not merely wound it." There was I. mischievous twinkle in the eyes of Farmer Browns Boy as he spoke.

Neighbor Show caught the twinkle and smiled. I'll admit I am not the best. shot in the world. Tommy. but I think I could have

And I can't. ai- forri to have any more of my Chickens stolen. so I set a trap, Are you telling me that you would rather that I had shot. that Owl than to have trapped it?” said he.

Tommy's freckled face broke in- to a grin. "It is yes. sir, and no. sir, again," said he. "I'm glad you didn't. kill this Owl because now i can take care of it. and perhaps learn things I don't know about Owls now, but I honestly think it. would have been better for the poor thing to have been shot and killed than to have hung there hv one leg from the top of that polo. It must have suffered not only great pain in that leg with those wicked steel jaws clamped on it. but also terrible fright, and the awful feeling of being helpless and not understanding at all what had

anything worse." The twinkle was no longer in Tommy's eyes, and his freckied face was very sober. He spoke so earnestly that there was no doubt he meant every word "So you think I am hard of hear: and unjust." said Neighbor Snow. He wasntt smiling now either. "Yes, sir." replied Tommy some.- what. to the others surprise. "But I don't, think you mean to be." he added hastily. "I guess you haven't really thought about. it. I don't. think you mean to be harI'i-heari- ed or unjust. Please don't think that. Mr. Snow." Tommy looked anxious. ”lt-It-well, it. must be pretty awful in hang from the top of ll. pole for a long time not knowing what had happened or why, or what is going to happen, and in pain and terribly. terribly frightened and helpless and-” "Never mind any more.

But. as 1 said before I can't ai- ford to have my chlckchs stolen and that post already had stolen--" It was Tommy who interrupted now. "But it didn't know it was stealing," he cried. "How could it? Those Chickens are just birds to an owl or a Hawk, and birds are natural food when they can catch them. Until caught they don't. belong to anybody. In so far as that Owl knows it had just as much right. to those Chickens as you have. It wasn't. doing anything

wrong." "I guess it knows now," said Mr. Show drily. then added: "Tommy.

West, feeling that the opponents had bid "honestly." opened the un- bid club suit. selecting the five- spot, and East joyfully played his club king. Then, without giving the slightest consideration to the particular card west had led. or in the bidding South had done.
