A team belonging to Farmer Amos M:
Partridge, of Maple Vale. Pip. stopped
suddenly in the read one evening last
winter, snorted and tried to turn around.
The snow was so deep that they upset the
sleigh. but they couldn’t wheel about.
The moon was shining and after Mr.
Partridge bud quieted the horses he saw
that the cause oi their fright was a
skunk in the track a few yards ahead. It
was pointed toward the team and it. stood
and [linked at the horses as though it
had the right of way and didn’t propose
to budge. Owing to the depth of the
snow it was impossible for the farmer to
turn out or to back up, so he decided to
let the independent animal take its own
time in getting out of the way. lie
waited ten or twelve minutes but. the
skunk still stuck up for his rights. He
at length became tired of humorlng the
stubborn animal, and. as the wind wasln
his favor be got out his revolver, went in
front of his horses and nutdo ready to
shoot it.
Just then a large horned owl nligbted
on a fence stake not far from the skunk
and Mr. Partridge changed his mind. 0n
spying the owl the skunk crouched close
‘to the side of the truck antitricli to blue.
The owl saw what he was up to and at
once tiew to a stake across the road who. a
it had a better view.

the owl had shifted its perch, (or it im-

attempted to secrete itself from the almrni
eyes of the big bird. In a moment. the
owl had sailed away. circled around over
a field for u spell and then flew buckto
the first stake. The skunk peeped over
the top of the snowbauk alter the owl
had disappeared, but failed to watch the
wilerenllouts‘of the silent night bird. It
was fairly puzzled as to where the owl
had gone to. and that was just the elite-t
that. the running bird had set out to pro-
duce when ittt ok the turns around t..e
