The bold raiders hoped the ship would crash near enough to the temple to divert the Kavuru, and thus enable them to land before the warriors could gather to receive them on the tips of sharp spears But they did not anticipate what was happening below, The warriors were stricken with fear, for they, like their fellows in the village, helieved that these were the aviators they had slain, now ressurrected and coming back to claim vengeance.

They were high up in & tree and below them was Prickly Porky the Porcupine. They didn't know a thing about him, for they never before had seen him, nor had they ever heard of him. He might be harmless, but they had a feeling that he wasn't. They didn’t like his looks. So they didn't dare to climb down past him. ‘They had seen Mother Bear com- ing and they had been sure that now all would be well. 8he would make this unpleasant stranger get down out of the way. Of course. Wasn't she ever and ever 50 much bigger than he? She would just growl at him and he would get down out of that tree in & hurry. They were all ready to » THE KIDNAP HUNT. scramble down themselves the very instant the way should be clear. But something was wrong. Some- thing was very wrong. They stared at Mother Bear and almost doubted their own eyes. Mother Bear was acting queerly, very queerly. She wasn’t making that unpleasant stran- ger get down. In fact, she was acting 88 if she was afraid of him. Yes, sir, that is the way it looked to those cubs, and they didn't know what to make of it. I don’t wonder. Do you? They saw Mother Bear walking about the foot of the tree in a most uncertain manner. Once she stood Up as if she were going to climb the tree, but the stranger in the tree switched his queer tail back and forth and Mother Bear changed her mind. She whined and resumed walking back and forth under the tree. What did it mean? Finally Mother Bear growled to them that they were to stay where they were until she came back. Then she went off. Yes, sir, she disappeared among the trees, leaving them prison- ers up there in that tree. She had said she would come back, but it looked to those cubs as if she had deserted them. Do you wonder that they whimpered a little as they watched her go? They were seeing 4 something they never had dreamed they ever would see—Mother Bear apparently afraid. They had seen her drive off Buster Bear, who was bigger than she. One had seen Yowler the Bobcat and Tufty the Lynx run at her approach, and both looked far fiercer and more dangerous than this stupid fellow below them. Yet now Mother Bear had looked afraid and had acted afraid and had gone off and left them. ‘They looked down at Prickly Porky with new respect. They had been afraid before, but now they were more afraid. What if he should take i into his head to come up whers they 4 / .;//Z/’/’}///('Im. were? They couldn’t go much higher. ‘They looked at each other hopelessly and each little face looked woe- begone and frightened. For a long time nothing happened. Mother Bear didn't come pack. The stranger did nothing—nothing at all. But at last he moved. He began to climb. The cubs thought he was starting to climb up. He wasn't. He was starting to climb down. He was doing what Mother Bear had hoped he would do. In fact, that is why she had gone away. She was sure he wouldn't come down while she was there and she had gone away to give him & chance. ~ TOMORROW -~ THE * © Ledger Syndicate HOT“CAR Just as soon as the oubs saw that he was climing down instead of up they felt better. They felt s whole lot better. He was very slow about it. He kept stopping, and each time it seemed to them that he never would start again. They remained right where they were. They didn't at- tempt to follow him down. The truth is they had no desire to get any | nearer to him. The greater the dis- tance from them that he got the better they liked it. Now, while Mother Bear had been upeet and uneasy, Prickly Porky had been no less s0. He didn't want any [} trouble with Mother Bear. He never would have climbed that tree if he had known that the cubs were up there. It was all & mistake. He was as anxious to get away irom that tree as the cubs and Mother Bear were to have him go. He had waited that long time just to make sure that Mother Bear really had gone. He had reached the ground and had just started to walk away when Mother Bear returned. The cubs were pop- eyed with excitement. Now Mother Bear would treat that stranger as he deserved to be treated. They were sure of it. Coprrivht, 1937)
