BURGESS. ()LD MAN COYOTE was & mess. Yes, sir, he was a mess. Some- how that just expresses the condition he was in. He had been knocked down, cut and badly mauled by the sharp-edged hoofs of Mrs. Lighiidot the Deer. One leg he couli not use at all, and it would be some time be- fore he could use it without limping badly. And it happened because just by chance he had approached the thicket in which were hidden the helpless babies of Mrs. Lightfoot. He hadn't known that they were there. He had had no idea that Mrs, Light- foot was in the neighborhood until, without warning, she had leaped out and knocked him sprawling. Even after he managed to get out of sight and had sneaked away he had won- dered what it meant. ‘Then as he sat licking his wounds the truth came to him in a flash. No timid person like Mrs. Lightfoot would suddenly become such a reckless fight- ing fury unless she was a mother who thought her babies were in danger. He stopped licking his wounds and licked his lips instead as he thought what delicious eating those tender voung fawns would make. The more he thought about them the more de- sirable they became. He resumed the licking of his wounds and all the time he was scheming and planning. “I won't go home now,” he decided. “It is too far. By the time I got there I would be almost too stiff to move. I'll stay right here until dark. Then I'll steal back there and be patient. As long as their mother is near those el A BEN WEBSTER’S CAREER.

That will be my chance to hunt for them.” So he remained where he was until late in the afternoon. Then slowly ' and painfully he made his way back toward the old brush-grown road on which he had been attacked. He came out to it at a point a little way below the place where he had been attacked. He hadn't dared to come out to that place exactly. He was just in time to get s glimpse of a shadowy form moving quickly, but silently, still farther down the road. He had a glimpse of a white tail and then that shadowy form, tail and all, disappeared around a turn in the road. It was Mrs. Lightfoot and Old Man Coyote knew that it was Mrs. Lightfoot. She was mocving quickly, wherefore Old Man Coyote guessed that she was on her way to water and that she had quite a distance to go. It was his turn to hurry, and he did as best he could, which wasn't very fast, because he had only three feet to travel on and also was stiff from his wounds. He slipped into the thicket from which Mrs. Light- foot had leaped out at him. Eagerly and expectantly he searched ft. There was nothing there of itnerest to him. He crept into the next thicket. It also was empty. His search was thorough, but hurried. He had a lively fear that Mrs. Lightfoot would return and find him there. At last he gave up. There would be no dinner of tender young fawn that night. He limped away, wondering EFFECTIVELY . o‘w:w" .

Otherwise Mrs. Lightfoot never would have acted as she had. Now, Old Man Coyote was not the only one who had done some shrewd guessing when he had guessed the cause of Mrs. Lightfoot's attack on him. Those fawns had been in the very next thicket to the one from which their mother had plunged out at Old Man Coyote. As soon as she was certain that he had given her the slip and escaped Mrs. Lightfoot began to worry and in her turn to guess. “That fellow may not have known of my secret when I jumped on him, but it is my guess that he does, or thinks he does, by this time,” thought she as she looked to make sure the fawns were safe. “And it is another guess of mine that he wlil return and look for them around the place where we met. It is a good thing the dar- lings can follow me & bit. I'll move them right away. I won't wait for darkness. I'll move them while I am sure that Old Man Coyote isn't about.” 80 while Old Man Coyote lay lick- ing his wounds Mrs. Lightfoot led the twins,"still a little wabbly on their slender legs, to another thicket far- ther up the old road. That was why Old Man Coyote's search was in vain, (Copyright, 1937.) WE WERE SHORT 1T DOWN OF HELP! FUNNY DREAM - T F) 1 DREAMED I DREAMED I WENT WENT DOWN To HEAVEN! BY CHARLES H. JOSEPH.
