Peggv, snugl tucked avva In her bed, gave a comfortable shiver as she listened. The chilly vvlldness of the nlshti made her own waim blankets bee,m all the 1I1U1Q UUV. . , She was glad she was safe at home slad she didn't have to bo out in the ftlgld blasts that svvlfled aiouitd the house. She won deied how the people of Blrdland who had not gone South would keep waim on such a howly night. Picsently It seemed to Peggy that the wlutiy liowls were taKIng the foim of a song. Llttenlng closely she found this nasi ii ue. "Whoo'll love me? Whoo'U love ine? Whoo'II shale my hollow tieeV" 'I'hat Is liow the song ran. U was a n...,l ouilb v.

What a funny wind to be adVeitJsIng for a sweetheail and In such a howly way.. "Hear m howl, some nice on I, Come and be my daillug fowl." Pegg giggled. It wasn't the wind at all. 11 was Judge Onl kinging leve songs out In tho stoimy night. Forgetting the cold, she hopped out of her warm bed, slipped Into a lobe, and peered eageily out of the window. The moon accommodatingly .came cut from beh'nd, a scurrying cloud, and by its light she sdw Judge. Owl perched among the branches of a fir tree. lie was all dressed up In a suit of feathers and wore a funny hat. Down below was another familiar flg uie that of Billy Belgium. "Now, judge, ou know It Is silly for you to go around th's way hooting for a wife," Billy was arguing. ''What do you want a wife fpr, anyway?" "It's mighty lone&onie In my hollow tiee with all tho other birds away In the South," hooted Judge Owl In reply "If you want a wife, why don't jou do as other folks do, fall In love, and then get marr'ed," per&Ieted Billy. "That's what I've been doing all my life falling In love," retorted the Judge. "It's btcaupe I've fallen In love so often that I'm not married now. Just as soon as I And the mate I want I fall In love with some one else. Now I'm going to grab some one quick before J get a chance to fall In love." 'That's foolish," cried Peggy, not able to staj out of the argument any longer. 'Get t'ng married Is serious business. Judge Owl. You want to be sure to pick the right one.'' "I'll pick you, Princess Peggy," hooted the judge, eageily flopping down to the roof out side the window. "We'll get married th's v cry night " "We'll do nothing of the kind," ictorted Teggy. "I'm going to marry a hero or a pr'rce tr Foni'thlng. 'Oh. well, if you feel that way about It, Pit have to look some place else," hooted Judge Owl disappointedly. Then, he began h's sdvertlslng song again , "Whoo'll love me? Whoo'll 'ove me',' Whoo-oovvlll share my hollow tree?" And away he flopped Into the darknes?. "Dress warmly and come on, Princess Peggy." cried B'llv Belgium. "We will have to save the Judge from his own folly." Peggy hurried Into her clothes, and ran down to where Billy was waiting. As she came out of the door she heard an awful screech In the pqrth: "My love calls. I come, I come," cried a voice following the shriek. Tien cimit a vo'ce from the south "Walt, my love, wait " Then cam- a voice from the east "I'll piarry youfl I'll nvarry you!" "Rear that!" shouted Billy. "I ell you tho Judiro Is getting Into serious trouble." He pnr'nkled Peggy and himself with Camouflage p-rfume. a,"d In an Instant they vvcro tiny enough to fit Into his toy airplane.
