How Unc’ Billy Got Home. No gift is there, however great. To equal freedom'’s opening gate. —Unc’ Billy Possum. Unc’ Billy Possum had been disturbed. He was more angry than frightened, al- though it was enough to frighten any one to be jumped on while asleep. You will remember that Black Pussy had made a serious mistake. She had found Tne’ Billy curled up in the hay in the eorner of Farmer Brown's haymow, and net knowing that it was Une’ Billy, had jumped on him. Her claws had pricked him. He had been frightened, but Black Pursy had been much worse frightened HE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE UNC' BILLY LIVED. and had run away as fast as her legs eould take her. This experience had put Unc’ Billy out of sorts—very much out of sorts. He no longer felt like taking a nap. He muttered and grumbled to himself and finally decided to poke around a little and see what more he could find in that barn. Perhaps he could find more eggs. He didn’t need any more eggs just then, but it would be nice to know that there ‘hm more handy when he did want em. Now, Farmer Brown's Boy knew that Black Pussy had come down from up in the haymow. He had seen her come BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. went up to see. If Une' Billy had re- mained curled up in the hay, he prob- ably wouldn't have been seen. But he was poking around and Farmer Brown's Bay caught sight of him. “8s, it_is you!" exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy. “How under the sun did you get up here? I thought Flip chased you under the barn. Well, now that I have found you, what am I going to do with you?" He made & move toward Une' Billy and Une’ Billy started to run. But Unc’ Billy isn't a fast runner. Farmer Brown's Boy ulfih! him by the tall and at once Une' Billy tried the old triek for which he is ous—the triek of laying dead. Of course, it didn't fool rmer Brown's Boy, for Farmer Brown'’s Boy knows Unc' Billy so well. “Une' Billy,” sald Farmer Brown's Boy severely, “you are out of place up here. You don't belong in a barn or around a barnyard. You belong over in the Green Forest and that’s just where I'm ing to take you, I wouldn't hurt you r the world, but I can’t have you get- ting into mischief up here. me are altogether too fond of eggs and chickens. I hope you have learned a lesson and Awon't venture up here again.” So Farmer Brown's Boy called Flip and Bowser the Hound and, with Une’ Billy carried by the tail, started for the Green Forest. He didn't know just where Unc' Billy lived, but he intended to take him far enough away so that be likely to come back in a hurry. Flip was quite L He kept jumping up and mgmnl # Billy, jch you may be sure didn't make Unc' Billy feel at all comfortable. But he didn't offer to bite, for he knew that Parmer Brown's Boy wouldn't let him do that . When at last_they were far encugh into the Green Forest, Farmer Brown's Boy laid Unc’ Billy down at the foot of a tree and walked uway a short dis- tance. Bowser and Flip sniffed Unc' Billy all over. Unc’ Billy didn’t move a hair. He couldn’t have looked more dead if he had been dead. Finally Farmer Brown's Boy called Flip and Bowser to him and they started off home. Not until they were out of sight did Une’ Billy move. Then he grinned, rolled over onto his feet and began to climb that tree. It was the very tree in which his home was, although Farmer Brown's Boy hadn't known it. And this down. So he suspected that whatever had-frightened her was up there.
