Who doth of his abundance share 15 being nothing more than fair. —Farmer Brown's Boy. Farmer Brown's Boy had to admit that he cou' =t t:nk of any way to keep Timmy the Flying Squirrel out of the corncrib. As long as Timmy could reach the roof of the corncrib he could get in. “The only way that I can stop it that T can see” declared Farmer Brown's Boy, “is to cut down the tree that Timmy jumps from. But, of course, the tree is worth very much more than all IMPORTANT A%, A ROCKY MounTAN \ r’w?n?ffi BY THORNTON W. BURGESS traps had been sprung. Each morning he was disappointed. Now, it wasn’t altogether the smart- ness of Timmy the Flying Squirrel that kept him out of those traps. The fact is, he didn't go near them. He didn't need to. He came over there for corn and he got plenty of corn in the other end of the crib, where the traps could not be set. So he didn’t need to wan- der around and he didn't wander around. As a rule, he didn’t stay in the cornerib very long. You see, Timmy is fond of other food besides corn. Also, he likes his exercise, even in the cold weather. So he would come over, get what corn he wanted and return to the Green Forest. He didn’t know anything about Farmer Brown's Boy and, of gol:‘m, he didn't care anything about Finally, Farmer Brown's Boy gave it up. He had ruefully to admit that he i ! £ § I i i §§z'§ r. 18.

I guess I'm quite willing to share my corn with Timmy. I would just like to catch hin, that is all. If I did catch him, of course, I would let him go; so I don't know what difference it makes.” So it was that Timmy the Flying Squirrel was unmolested and all Winter long enjoyed the corn in Farmer Brown’s_corncrib. He didn’t forget that it was his Cousin Chatterer who had told him about that corn, and Chat- terer often found a good breakfast around the corncrib very early in the morning. He did more or less scolding, but that is Chatterer’s way. You see, it was rather upsetting to cousin able to get into that corncrib when he himself couldn’t. But you may be sure he made the best of things as they were. He wasn't foolish enough to leave that corn on the ground just be- cause he couldn’t get in and get it him- self. But he was. unwise, in that he scolded so much about it. It is always unwise to allow one’s tongue to run too freely, and Chatterer is very likely to do this. He scolded so very much early in the morning over near the corncrib that he drew the attention of a certain black-coated fellow who is very smart. “I wonder,” said Blacky the Crow to himself, “what takes that noisy little scamp over to % Farmer Brown’s dooryard ever'; morning?
