With all his might Rusty hoped that at that distance Redtaii couldn’t see him. But that hope didn't last long. That black spot was becoming larger and lagger; Redtail was heading in that direction. In a few moments there was no doubt that he saw Rusty. Now, wasn't that a terrible posi- tion for any squirrel to be in? 1 that had been n big tree, it would have been a very different matter. Then there would have been some chance for Rusty to dodge Redtail. But this was a small tree—a very small tree. The trunk of it wasn't big enough for even a chipmunk to dodge around.
