The chase the tree Marten had given him was almost, but not quite, exciting enough to satisly him. x “We have had as narrow an es- cape as we ever want,” sald Billy Brighteyes, emphasizing his words with nods of his head and wise looke at Chipple. F Billy Brighteyes considered himself much older and wiser than his friend. He was tr y only one year older, Dut one year means a great deal more to woodland dwellers than it does to people, and Chippie respected Billy Brighteyes and said he would try to heed what he said “We ve eaten almost all the nuts," Chipple observed. “Only one, two, three, four, five, six, seven of _them left. When they are ail g ne I will have |» go down and gather more. They are very good and have such nice, brittle, crackly shells. How old Tp Tail hated to be pelted with the ehetls.” and. recallin, the actions of the angry fox, Chipple laughed s0 that he could be heard for twelve trees around. One nut gone; two nuts gone, three, four, five. six nutc had been eaten Only one remained. “Whore shall It be?” csked Chippte. t {s youre by right,” sald Billy hteyes, “you are my guest.” Jo, I will not take It.” decided his etr'ped friend, “Tt shall belong to the wisest one of us. “Are you going for more nuts when the others are gone?” askel Billy “Tam,” an-~ered Chippie. the seventh nut belongs to “How so? “Because you will never get back to claim it.
