Bl'ROKSS Who heed* his sppetHo nlone Will for his greed some dey stone. —Boh White. Kars, Kyes slid Quirk Wit*. Now, Bob White has not lived to bring up sever.il families' without learning what eyes and ears and whs are for. He and his family were near ly starved _ when they reached the shed In Farmer Brown's barnyard after the great storm. When they found grain scattered there It seemed almost too good to be true. How eagerly they picked tip that grain, Bob White just a* eagerly as hi* chil dren. But with all his eagerness and great hunger, Bob never forgot that, safe as they seemed there, an enemy might appear an any moment. He knew that the enemies always watch Cautiously Ke<l('.v poked his head around the comer of the shed. Ing end hunting for him had been made just ns hungry by that great storm as he was. and that hunger would make them very bold. So as he picked up the grain he was every instant on the watch. His stomach was not more than half full when his sharp eyes saw a black nose cap tiously poked around the end of the shed. Bob White didn't wait to see whose nose it was. He gave a signal,1 and with a whirr of atout wings all I the Bob Whites flew out of that shed straight Into the nearest tree, Reddy Fox almost yelped with dls- j appointment. He had so hoped tp surprise these Bob Whites and catch at least one. He must get something to eat or he would starve. His keen ears caught the sound of a rustling In the straw In that shed. Perhaps one of those young Bob Whites had not heeded his father's warning. Cau tiously Reddy poked his head around the corner of the shed. There was a big. gray rat. A moment later Reddy had his breakfast. Over in the Old Orchard Mrs. Grouse was picking off apple buds as fast as she could. But Mrs. Grouse knew that that was a dangerous place. There were no leaves to hide her. She could be seen by any enemy who mlfcht come that way. So never for an Instant did she forget to watch for danger. So it, was that she saw the gray form of Terror the Gos hawk. the enemy she feared more than any other, coming with the speed of the wind. Sho knew that it was useless to try to fly back to the Green Forest. Terror would catch her before she bad much more than started. What do you think she did? She plunged straight down from her perch Into a big snowdrift, and there she worked her way farther and far ther Into It. With a scream of disap pointment Terror the Goshawk flew away, to look elsewhere for his break fast. Over on the food shelves Tommy Tit the Chlchadee, Yank Yank the Nuthatch. Drummer the Woodpecker and Sammy Jay were filling their stomachs as fast ns they could. 'I'hey felt fairly safe there so close to Farm er Brown's house. But they, too, knew that the great storm had made others quite as hungry ns they were, and that there is nothing like hunger to make people bold. So, safe as they felt, they were continually on the watch. It was Sammy Jay who saw the dreaded form of llooty the Owl sail out from the top of Farmer Brown’s barn. Instantly Halwn.v streamed. "Thief Thief! 'rider’’ Sit 'be top of his lungs, ami made straight for i cedar tree as fast as his wings could take him. The others didn't wait to see what the danger was. It wa4 enough that Sammy had given warn ing. Kaeh of them, took to his wing-, and before llooty could make up b 1 mind all were safe.
