with another of our almost frying-
sizs chickens. My brother was a
good shot and he set all sorts of
ruses to get them.. But they had
such good eyes, they never came
near the blinds. And.as soon as
he'd turn his back .good, they’d
swoop in and have one before he’d
know it
They alw ays sailed out of sight in
the same direction. We hunted
those woods over for the nest. But
never found it back there. Some
one told us hawks were very sly,
and would often fly in the wrong di
rection until out of sight, and then
switch back in a different direction
to their^iest ' So my brother hid
himself well back there and saw
them make their turn up a distant
hollow. And, sure enough, about a
half mile up that,- he found the nest
up a very tall pine. The four young
hawks were full grown and sitting
on the side of the great nest He
hurried back to the house and got
some shells with BB shot in them
