The curious will scon or late Find that they have tempted fate. ~—Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Chatterer the Red Squirrel is a busy- body. He is a small ;serson, but llkeyl Iot of small persons he is inclined to think himself rather important. He wants to know everything that is going on. In this respect he is quite ®qual ro Peter Rabbit. Like most small persons, he is very active. He does sit still oc. casionally, but it is only occasionally. He is here and there and all about dur- ing the hours of daylight. Whenever anything is going on in the Green Forest you are pretty certain to find Chatterer, the Red Squirrel, not far HE KNEW THAT THEIR FUN HAD TURNED INTO SUDDEN AND GREAT FRIGHT. Now, Chatterer learned long ago that ‘when a lot of crows get to cawing and making a great racket, there is usually something going on worth seeing. Of course, he heard the racket that flock of Crows made around Hooty the Owl and Mrs. Hooty at the old nest of Blacky the Crow. For a few minutes Chatterer sat listening. “Those Crows are teasing somebody.” said*Chatterer. “I know by the sound of their voices that they have found somebody to plague. If this were Summer, I would say that they had found Redtail the Hawk and were trying to make life miserable for him. But it isn't Summer, so I suspect they have found Haoty the Owl. My, my, what a racket they are making! Per- haps, they will drive Hooty out of the Green Forest. It would be a good thing if they should. He doesn't bother me much, because usually I am at home and asleep when he is out hynting. But once in while on a dull day he appears unexpectedly. I've had two or three narrow escapes. I hope they'll drive him a T'll go over to see what's going on. | So Chatterer started in that direction, traveling through the treetops when he could, and he could most of the way. He was only a little more than half- way there when the voices of the Crows changed. “Ha!" exclalmed Chatterer. “Something has happened. Those Crows are frightened.” A moment later the cawing of the Crows ceased altogether. Then, look- ing up, Chatterer caught a glimpse of biack-feathered folks hurrying in dif- ferent directions. Each one of those Crows that he saw was flying as if life itself depended -on speed. Chatterer has a shrewd little head. He chuckled. He knew just as well as if he had been there and seen it all that those Crows had had the tables turned on them, as they saying is. He knew that their fun had been turned into sudden and great fright, Chatterer kept on. He was curious. He wanted to find out exactly what had been going on. So it was that presently he came to the tree in which was the old nest of Blacky the Crow. Chatterer knew about that nest. He had known about it for a long time. He had been tempted to make that nest over in the Fall for his own Winter use. He hadn't done it because he had seen Blacky the Crow around there more or less and he had a feeling that Blacky might make trouble for him. or several minutes Chatterer sat still in"a tree just a short distance from the tree that held the nest. He sus- pected that somewhere around that point Hooty the Owl probably was sit- ting. He had no desire to be seen by Hooty. He wanted to see him first. So he sat still and looked and looked and looked through all the trees. No- where could he see Hooty. Finally he made up his mind that Hooty must have flown away when the Crows flew. “I guess I won't see Hooty after all” said Chatterer to himself. “He doesn't belong around here anyway. Probably he has gone back to his favorite place in the lonesomest of the Green Forest. Now that I'm here, I believe T'll have another look at that nest of Blacky'’s. Chatterer was just preparing to jump over into the next tree when his sharp eyes caught sight of something black floating down from up in the tree where Blacky’s nest was. It was the feather of a Crow. Chatterer's heart seemed to almost stop beating, he was so startled. (Copyright, 1930.)
