BEDTIME STORIE ‘What Farmer Brown's Boy Saw. ‘Whose cause is just, who knows he's right, Has great advantage in s fght —Happy Jack Squirrel. Farmer Brown’s Boy had put out a pood breakfast for Happy Jack Squirrel and his family. As usual, he had put it on what he called “Happy Jack's table,” a big flat stone in the old stone wall. Then he idden where he could watch what might happen. He didn’t have long to wait. Hardly had he reached his hiding place when he saw Happy Jack and his family coming. ‘They ran across from the nearest tree and up on the wall. Happy Jack looked hard and long toward the hole of Rob- ber the Rat. Robper wasn't to be seen. Happy Jack turned to eat and in the enjoyment of his breakfast he appar- ently forgot ail about Robber the Rat. Presently Farmer Brown's Boy saw the head of Robber the Rat poked out of his hole. For a minute Robbsr watched the breakfast party. Then, seeing that none of the squirrels was watching, he ran quickly along at the foot of the old wall until he was right Then up right into the middle of the table. The suw was complete.

The Squirrels saw this and so they hesitated to attack Robber. He was such a savage looking fellow, and they had heard such tales of his bad temper and fighting qualities, that they had no desire to feel his teeth. Finally they withdrew to talk it over, leaving Robber the Pat in possession of their stone table and the rest of the breakfast., “Huh! Huh!” exclaimed Farmer ‘WHAT HAD HAPPENED., Brown's Boy under his breath. “The idea of one Rat putting six Squirrels to flight! I have no use for Robber, but I must say that he has won my respect. He certainly bluffed those Squirrels. He couldn’t fight all of them them think that he could. Im afraid Happy Jack hasn’t much . I wouldn't expect Hbg:y to fight Robber bber is tough and a born fighter, but I do think that the whole family might drive Robber away and keep him away.” (Copyright, 1029.)
