TOMLINSON’S FALCONRY
the Story of a Lazy Pike Coun

“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

"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

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.

Then Sol started out to gether hi hi
harvest.
“ ‘For months,* be said to me, 'these
ducks of mine have enjoyed fatherly care
and lived on tin* fat of the land and t :.r
livers of several hundred chicken**. 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

detifciand him. ’And duty < alls on you to
go after them. Now is your < ham e u- n
-a little of my care and aflfe. dou. 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. I*' I
you beat them about once more they will 1
try to get ev n with yon. And from wha
I know of hawks, I’m beting they will
succeed.’
But Sol only grunted out that and was
ducks and not tokens of esteem that he
wanted for those hawks.
“After quite a wait w<- sow the hawks
coming hack. They had had a long chan*
