Unc' Billy Possum had climbed over the henyard fence and down inside the yard. He stopped to listen for a moment. All he heard was the faint clucking of some of the hens as they crowded together on the roosts inside the henhouse. Then Unc’ Billy made straight for the little door which the hens use. He remembered that little door. He had used it a long time ago. HE DIDN'T SEE UNC' BILLY, BUT UNC' BILLY SAW HIM. He remembered very well what a good time he had had in that henhouse. He remembered the eggs he had had and how, when he had eaten all he could hold, he became sleepy and curled | i, up for & nap in one of the nests and there was found by Farmer Brown's “If Ah gets in,” sald Unc’ Billy to himself, “Ah is comin’ right out again as soon as Ah gets me a chicken.. Ah won' go to sleep in there no mo'.” By this time Unc' Billy was at the little door. It was closed. Such a disappointment as that was! Unc’ Billy tried to open that little door. He pushed it. He tried to pull it. He tried to slide it. It would move a little, which was all the more provoking. It ‘would move, but it wouldn't open. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. get in that way. He climbed up on the roof of the henhouse. There was no way in. Those hens were safe and Unc’ Billy knew it. There was to be no chicken dinner for him that night. He knew now that Reddy Fox must have caught a chicken outside. He knew that Reddy couldn't possibly have got into the henhouse. “Ah done got to get somethin’ to eat somewhere,” muttered Unc’ Billy as he climbed down from the henhouse. “If Ah can fin’' enough fo’ to keep me tonight, mabbe Ah'll have better luck in the mornin'.” Now just as Unc' Billy reached the ground a half-grown rat poked his head out from a little hole under the henhouse. He didn't see Unc' Billy, but Unc' Billy saw him. Unc' Billy didn’t move. For a moment or two the rat sat there with his head out. Then ARE SPENDING \T FOR SOMETHING USEFLL- It Pays to Save. HELLO, JEFF, T DIDI KNOW YOU WENT O COLLEGE! muf’ and g% (24 he came wholly out and started toward | BUD FISHER @ pan in which Farmer Brown’s Boy had brought out some table scraps for the hens. The hens had eaten only a part of these scraps. That rat never did reach the pan. Unc' Billy can move quickly when it comes to catch- Two ing things. He had that rat before Simon-Pures the rat knew he was about. A little later Unc’ Billy Possum licked his lips and walked over to the pan. There were table scraps there that smelled very good, indeed, to Unc’ Billy. They would do splendidly to top off the rat dinner he had had. He wasted no time. Presently not so much as one scrap remained. Once more Unc’ Billy licked his lips. “Ah done feel better,” said Unc’ Billy to no one at all. Ah done feel better. Ah reckon all Ah needs now is a good nap. Ah mus' look around and find a place where I can sleep in peace. That's all Ah wants now, is to sleep peace.” So Unc’ Billy once more climbed the wire at the chicken yard. He made his way over to the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard. He found an opening between the stones that led down to a good sized hole in the ground, which was one Peter Rabbit often used. But Peter wasn't using it now, so Unc' Billy Possum did. He didn't go to his home in the Green Forest for two reasons. One was,that he was feeling sleepy, and the other was that he intended to be right on hand when those chickens were let Compare Salaries.
