TOMLINSON’S FALCONRY the Story of a Lazy Pike Coun ty Farmer. n> i:m\i\ j. ivEDSTBB. “Sol TonVimon s>ys it was a Sunday j school hook that causes him to be nurs | tug an injured spirit and mourning the : loss of the finest oollec ion of fancy ( breeds of chickens ever seen in Pike . county,” observed Deacon Tcdgt rs to the | crowd at the corner grocery. But I l tell him it was all his own foolishness ! in trying middle age notions in this c los : dig year of the nineteenth century, and j also in trusting too far io the loving kindness and forgiving nature of hawks. “On Sunday afternoon Sol went out to i the woodshed and found his boy. Tom. reading a book he hod drawn from the | Sunday school library. Sol cracked the ' boy over the head for reading novels on | Sunday, gave him some c hores to do, nr.d | then sat down to read the book himself. It was all about knights and how they rode about the country, fighting for the color of their ladies’ eyebrows and how they wen 4 hawking and all such foolish ness. But it seemed to impress Sol mightily. “ 'And are you, with your blue jeans and bald pote and white whiskers going to ride around Pike county on a “prane ingi palfrey,” ar:l fight for the honor of your lady love?” I asked him. “Or what i particular kind of foolishness has that I book inspired you <o?’ “So! looktd hurt. “ ‘Fudge, deacon,’ he said mo. ‘l’m a respectable married man, without any Their Appetite for Liver Had Gotten to Be Like That of a Man’s for Drink. "lady loves,’’ as you call them, and my rheumatism wouldn’t allow me to rid© “prancing palfreys," anyway. The plan 1 am thinking of is a practical one, and one that will bring money to a worthy old man without his working for it. Did you read what that hook said about fal conry and how all those o and coves used to catch heron, and ducks, and other kinds of birds by the use of falcons? Well, that’s what I’m going to do,’ he says, earnestly. .“ ‘But you hav< n't any falcons,’ I ob ject and “ Tuf-h, deacon,’ Sol re’orted, sort of impatiently. ‘Of course, 1 a n’t got any talc ns But wlui ’s a falcon except a hawk, anyway, at and it wi 1 le easy enough for me to gee a few young hawks and t ain th m to catch and icKs ard other birds wi i h sdl we 1. but are a good deal of trouble for a tirtd old man to shoot." " You lan catch the hawks, and the hawks may catch the and icks!’ 1 said, sort of sarcastically, for I t’.ought he was talking nonsense. ‘But will the hawks biing you tlie birds? Unreflecting and foolish g nerosity isn’t one cf the failings of hawks. Any photographs you can get of hawks bringing ducks to Sol Tomlin s n wi 1 be rare at.d valuable.’ “'lf th se oil fellows in the Middle Ages who never saw a newspaper or a r aping machine ecu Id tta’n hawk#* to I tint f rt em,’ r piled S 1 obstinately, ‘an up-to-date ninet • nh century farmer can do it now It may b a lot of work, but it will pay in the'end.” “Well, the first thing Sol did was to set his Io s to wotk i. a‘tiering in young hawks. That was considerable of a con tract fcr the boys, as neither the young hawks nor the old birds took kindly to l aving their nests robbed, but after be ing scratched up a pood deal the boys gathered in a! out a dozen young birds. Sol pitte;' Ids b ys on t’ e head, to’d th- m he was proud of them, and promised each a silver dollar vvh‘n his s heme got to working. The boys 1 k das if th*y woul 1 :ather have ten cents in present coin of th • nalm, but they had another guesw - “Started After Duck-.'' c ming as far as that was concerned. Then S 1 began trail ing Ms birds “Sol had a lot of chi'k up of his own and every time h** killed ore he would feed the young hawks a bit of liver Th n he would buy u;> the livers whenever any of the neighbors killed ch'cker.s >nd feed them to he hawks, of four *. he f'd the hawks other things, but pre'tv . o i thos* birds had as wall dev* lo and a ..iste for liver as some men have f r 'ia:y d* foy grass,’ or whatever it Is called.

Now is the time for them to repay my d**vo ’ tion. And. by gum. they will do i: or get in trouble.’ “That afternoon Sol got a couple of Ion 1 ? sticks, and carrying them over his shoul ders, with the hawks perched on them, started after ducks. Pretty soqn along came a flock of ducks, flying down pretty low. Sol untied his hawks and pouted at the ducks. It wasu'i half u mlniro before those trained hawks understood what was wanted of them, and off they want nt full tilt after the ducks. Each hawk grabbed a duck, : 'arted back with H toward Sol and dropped i at his feet. Then came tin first of Sol’e notions, which turned aside the hearts of Ids faithful duck hunters. “When the hawks delivered up their ducks to Sol they began to look for some liver as a reward. But Sol didn’t see it that way. “Those •lucks ar<> still in sight.’ he says to tlie hawks, as if they could UU Each Faithful Hawk Was Bringing Back a Duck. detifciand him. ’And duty < alls on you to go after them.

This is no time to be looking for liver.' “Sol kept pointing at the rapidly die- ' appearing fl<*-k of du k . and as his hawks didn't seem to understand what he meant, he grabbed a stick and i*gan pounding them with it. Ii wos .laic that the hawks were grieved and. mystified, rather than angry. They had each of them brought in a duck, why didn’t they get their liver? And why did S-d. the man who had fed them, and whom they had l*s>ked up to nnd venerated, heat them with a stick? Finally they wove it up as a had Job trying to figure out what li all meant, and seeing that Sol warded more ducks, eff the hawks started, hut at iing j in a patient, puzzled sort of way that was really pathetic. " 'Those birds of yours ;it** faiihful and J well trained.’ I obse”ve<l to Sol, ‘but* lav- * ing kindness isn’t th** stronj,- t qualify I of any hawk, even ari educated one.
