Farmer Brown's Boy was at a loss as to what he should do. Behind some little hemlocks on the bank on the other side of the pond of Paddy the Beaver a young gander from the flock of Honker the Goose was napping, his head under his wing. Stealing down from a ridge back of him was Yowler the Bobcat. Farmer Brown's Boy, from his hiding place on the other side of the pond, had watched the young gan- der slip away from tne fiock and go up on the shore. He knew that Honker, the wise old leader, had not seen the young gander. So Farmaer Brown's Boy had continued to watch to see what ‘would happen. A little movement upon the ridge had caught his attention and then a few minutes later he had caught just a fleeting glimpse of Yowler the Bobeat. “T should like to see if that young goose will awaken in time to escape,” said Farmer Brown's Boy to himself. | full length and he was looking straight W. BURGESS Honker will give the alarm and awaken that young gander. I wonder how near Yowler is to that young gander now.” Farmer Brown's Boy tingled all over with excitement. Although he could no longer see Yowler the Bobcat and could see no further movements of the branches to show where Yowler was, he knew that, beyond a doubt, Yowler was creeping on those big soundless feet of his nearer and nearer to the sleep- ing, silly young gander. “I just cannot let him be caught,” thought Farmer Brown’s Boy, and made ready to step out where the geese would see him. But even as he prepared to step out a sharp, warning honk rang out from the throat of the wise old leader of that flock. At first Farmer Brown's Boy thought that Honker had seen him. Then he saw that Honker was not looking in his direction at all. Honker's long neck was stretched up its over to the place where that young gan- der was half hidden behind the hem- lock trees. Again he sounded that alarm note. Those keen eyes of his had seen beyond the disobedient young gan- der. They had seen the great creeping cat almost within jumping distance. A that second alarm things happened very fast indeed. The young gander, awakened by the first alarm and thor- oughly frightened by the second alarm, Havwarp Exercise?

At the same time, behind him, a furry form made two swift bounds. For a second Farmer Brown’s Boy thought that the young gander was fairly caught. There was a tremendous thrashing of great wings and splashing of water and, at the same time, Farmer Brown's Boy could see some feathers fly. And then he saw the young gander swimming frantically out to join the rest of the flock, while at the edge of the water stood Yowler the Bobecat, spitting out some feathers, which were all he had succeeded in getting from that young gander. It was Interesting and it was amus- ing to see that young gander hurriedly trr to get into the very middle of the flock. He was as badly frightened as ever a young gander could be. He had had a lesson he never would forget. Honker, the wise old leader, swam over to him and Farmer Brown's Boy would have given much if he could have un- derstood what Honker was saying. Then, with a few swift blows of his bill, which the young gander didn't even attempt to return, Honker left him and began to swim slowly around the | LISTEN - THERE'S SUCH A THING AS CARRYING A JoKE T60 FAR' ) TLL MAKE 600D THE > HUNDRED BUCKS You Foliks LOST ON MY FIGHTER — GINE BACK MY BRE WITH THe $2000 % INT LISTEN® LISTEN! 71 NEVER MIND DID ANYONE SEE MY DIAMOND WRIST WATCH ?
