Back and forth, back and forth, this way, that way and the other way, just a little way off Shadow was running with his nose to the snow. He was hunting, hunting for the scent of gome one whom he could kill. In a few min- utes he would be sure to find where Jumper had been and then his nose would lead him straight to that tree at the foot of which Jumper was crouching. Nearer and nearer came Shadow. He was slim and trim and didn’t look at all terrible. Yet there was no one in all the Green Korest more feared by the little people in fur, by Jumper, by Peter .Rabbit, by Whitefoot the ‘Wood Mouse, even by Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Shadow was dressed in pure white, all but the tip of his tail.” This was. black, and it was this blntk spot moving about that had ht Jumper's attention. “Perhaps, thought Jumper,” he won’'t find my scent after all. haps he'll go in another directio But all the time Jumper felt it in his bones that Shadow would find that scent. “When he does I'll r sald Jumper to himself. “I'll have at least a chance to dodge Whitey. T am atraid he will catch me, but I'll have a chance. I won’t have any chance at all if Shadow finds me.” Suddenly Shadow stopped running i] | and sat up to look about with fierce little eyes, all the time testing the air with his nose. Jumper's heart sank. He knew that Shadow had caught a faint scent of some one. ‘Then Shadow began to run back and forth once more, but more carefully than before. And then he started istraight for where Jumper was crouching, Jumper knew then that Shldow had found hjs trail. Jumper drew a long breath” and settled hII long hind feet for a great jump, hoping to so take. Whitey the Owl by surprise that he, Jumper, would get such a start that he might be able to get away. And as he did this he looked over to that stump, where Whitey had been sitting so long. Whitey was just leaving it on his great silent wings, and his flerce yellow eyes were fixed in the direc- tion of Shadow the Weasel. is he had seen that moving .black lpot which was the tip of Shadow's Jumpar didn't have time to jump before Whitey was swooping, down at Shadow. So Jumper just kept still nd watched with eyes almost pop- ping from his head with fear and ex- citement. Shadow hadn’t seen Whitey until just as Whitey was reaching for him with his great, cruel claws. Now if there is any one who can move more quickly than Shadow the Weasel, I don't know who it is. ‘Whitey’s claws closed on mothing but snow; Shadow had dodged. Then be- gan a game of hide and seek. Whitey swooping and Shadow dodging, and all the time they were getting further and further from where Jumper was. The instant it was safe to do so Jumper took to his long heels and the way he fllnvpanroa lip- perty-lipperty-lip, was worth seeing. ‘Whitey the Snowy Owl had sa him from Shadow the Weasel :nd didn’t know it. .An enemy had proved to be a friend.
