Blacky the Crow is black coated and some people think he is black hearted. But this is not true. Blacky is not nearly as black as he is painted. Those who like him least have to admit that he is smart Yes, sir, they have to ad- mit that Blacky the Crow is smart. In faet, most of them will agree that there is no smarter person in all the Green Forest than Blacky the Crow. Now, Blacky the Crow gets up early n the morning. He is a brave enough BLACKY KNOWS ALL ABOUT CHAT- TERER THE RED SQUIRREL. fellow by daylight, but he is anything but brave after dark. So as soon as it begins to get dark Blacky hides him- self away where the big eyes of Hooty the Owl will not find him. Then, just as soon as the Black Shadows begin to leave the Green Forest in the morning Blacky is out looking for breakfast and mischief. | Blacky knows all about Chatterer the | Red Squirrel. He knows his habits, just as Blacky knows the habits of all the other little people in the Green Forest. ‘When any one of them does anything unusual, Blacky is almost certain to no- tice it. So he had taken notitce of the fact that Chatterer was scampering { ply spread his wings and sailed right over to Farmer Brown's very early every morning. i Daily Cross-Word Puzzle 1.

BURGESS “There must be & reason,” said Blacky to himself: That reason must have something to do with food. Chat- terer isn’t going over there every morn- ing for nothing. I'll look into this. If Chatterer is getting a breakfast over there, perhaps I can get a breakfast over there.” So Blacky followed Chatterer one morning. Chatterer didn't know he was being followed. If he had noticed Blacky Crow at all he didn’t give him any special thought. The only thought in Chatterer's mind was to get over to that corncrib and see if Timmy the Flying Squirrel had left anything for him. He did not notice Blacky the Crow when the latter alighted on the roof of Farmer Brown's barn. Blacky said nothing. His sharp eyes watched Chatterer. He saw Chatterer run across and under Farmer Brown's corncrib. ‘Then he saw Chatterer begin to pick up something and eat it. Blacky sim- down there. Chatterer was so intent on eating corn that he didn't see Blacky :nt.ll the latter alighted right beside im. If ever there was a startled squirrel, that one was Chatterer. You see, at first he didn't know whether it was Blacky or one of the Hawk family or one of the Owl family. He didnt wait to find out. He scampered for the nearest tree and dodged around the trunk. Blacky chuckled and began to pick up corn. ‘When Chatterer peecked around and saw_who it he lost his temper completely. My, how his tongue flew! He called Blacky “a black robber” and “a black thief” and everything else he could think of. He even ventured half way back to where Blacky was, all the time scolding as fast as his tongue could go and jerking his tail as only Chatterer can. Blacky didn’t pay him the slightest attention and this_made Blacky Chatterer angrier than ever. simply went on nlckmf up the corn as fast as he could until the last piece had disappeared. Then he turned to Chatterer. “Caw!” said Blacky. “I'm much obliged to you for showing me a good breakfast, Chatterer. Caw!” Then he spread his wings and flew away. As for Chatterer, his day was spoiled. He had lost his breakfast and he had lost his temper and for a while it didn" l;)ckku if he would get either of them ack. (Copyright, 1930.) .
