The morning _ when Chatterer started out to visit Farmer Brown's corncrib there was no snow in | which to leave tracks. | He scampered up along the old stone wall, as usual. He left the old stone | wall and scampered across the door- yard, as usual. He climbed the maple | tree that grew near the corncrib, as | usual. But right then and there he stopped doing things as usual. Some- thing queer had happened. Chatterer didn't know what to make of it. There was no broken branch hanging down next | off,” thought Chattexer | He knew that if he dropped as far as BY THORNTON W. BURGESS At first he couldn't believe it. He raced around over that tree in a most | excited way. At first he couldn’t even | find where the branch had been. Three times he ran right past it without | seeing it. You see, Farmer Brown's Boy had cut that branch off clese to | the trunk ot the tree and he had cov- ered the place with a little paint. So Chatterer went right past ‘it without seeing 1t. But the fourth time Chatterer found the place. He sniffed at it. He smelled paint. That told him all he needed to know. That told him what had be- come of that branch. He knew then that Farmer Brown's Boy had been up ' in that tree and had_cut off that branch. For a wonder, Chatterer didn't lose his temper this time. He wasn't He had a feel- ing that he had been wronged. Even then it didn’t occur to him that Farmer | Brown's Boy had discovered how he | had been getting into the cornerib. “He saw that branch hanging up there and so he climbed up and cut it “I don't see what he had to notice it for. I don't see why he couldn't have let it hang there. He has let other broken branches hang far longer than he did this one. Now what am I going to do? Now, how am I going to get into that corncrib?” Chatterer carefully examined every branch that hung over the corncrib. He went way out to the tip of each one, and from each one he looked down and measured the distance to the roof of the corncrib with his eye. Each time he gave a little sigh of disappoint- | ment. It was too great a distance. Yes, sir, it was too great a distance. He didn’t dare drop all that distance. that he would be likely to be hurt. | Finally he climbed back and sat m a | big crotch with his back against the | trunk of a tree and sulked. He sulked | and sulked, because he felt that he had been wronged. He didn't know just how he had been wronged, but he felt | that he had been wronged. At the same | time, while he was sulking, he was| doing his best to think of some way over the corncrib. No, sir, there was no broken: branch for him to climb and | drop from ontd: the roof of the corncrib. Daily Cross-Word Puzzle whereby he might get into that corn- | crib once more.
