In the first place, Shadow didn't 1mow that he was in debt. He had killed one of IFarmer Brown's HBoy's hens, but he considered that that was his hen and not Farmer Brown's Doy's. He considered that Farmer Brown's Boy owed him for that hen. You will find that people are just like that all through life That {s why we have lawyers. But, of course, this has nothing to do ature, v ©1926 BY NEA SOWCE, NG He who wants to kiss the misses often lives to kiss the Mrs. Snakerl_fin Cuffs | | | It didn't také Shadow long to get his breakfast after that with the story. As yoéu have already discovered, Shadow is something of a philogo- pher. If he couldn't have chicken for breakfast, he would bet satisfied with Rat. As a matter of fact, a nice young Rat would suit him quite as well as a tough old hen. There | is no accounting for tastes. Shadow went over to Farmer Brown's barn and there was no trouble getting inside. There were | dozens of places Shadow could get through. You know, Shadow is so slim that he can go through a very small hole. The moment he had got inside that barn he was glad he had e. He forgot all about h&ns. You the very instant he poked his head inside that barn he heard a Snake skin is seen quite frequent- iy on the new sport hats, bags and felts. This plaque shows its novel adaption for cuffs of beige suede at squeal. He cocked hiy f to one side and listened. He card the scampering of little feet L the grain bin. He dart e and put his nose to t He lled Rat. His eyes be- to glow red. He licked his lips “I heer a Rat, I smell a Rat, pretty soon I'll se¢ a Rat and then Il iste a Rat,” said Shadow, and start- ed off with his nose to the floor, just as Bowser the Hound follows the trail of Red Rox. It didn't take Shadow long to get his breakfast after that. You sec thera were a great many Rats in that barn. Farmer Brown had donc his best (6 get rid of them, but they had been to6 much for him. Robber the Rat believes in big families and plenty of them. There is very little of the time that Robber and Mrs Robber: haven't a lot of babies in their home. Rat babies grow up very fast. The result is that it doesn't | take very long for the Rats to be so numerous that they do a great deal of damage and become very, very bold. It was this way when Shadow the Weasel arrived in Farmer Brown's barn. It wasn't more than a day or two before Farmer Brown's Boy dis- covered that something was happen- ing in the barn. He heard squeaks of | terror and g great raeing about. He wondered what it meant; and then | for just a second he caught a glimpse 6f something white. It Qis- appeared in a rat hole. But that glimpse told Farmér Brown's Boy all he needed to know. “Shadow the Weasel!” he exclaimed. “He wasn't welcome in the henhouse, but he certainly i weleome here. I have an tdea that he has paid already for that chicken he killed, especially as | we had the chicken to éat. It he hasn't paid for it already, he will pay for it many times over. I hépe he'll stay a while. Yes, sir, I hope that little scamp will stay a while.” Though, of course, Farmer Brown's Boy didn't know it, Shadow had aiready made up his mind that hé would stay a while. In fact, he thought he would stay quits a while. It all depended on how the supply of | Rats held out. This was goéd hunt- ing, the best hunting that Bhadow had had all winter.
