ROBBY COON DOESN'T DARE GO HOME
By Thornton W. Burgess.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Robby Coon sat hunched up in the
black shadow of an. old stump on the
edge of little pool in the Laughing
Brook. The little pool shone in the
silyery moonlight and every few min
utes q little minnow made a tiny
splash as he jumped out Of water In
play. Bobby Coon took no notice.
His stomach was quite full OF other
little minnows, who had jumped too
close to the black shadow Of the old
stump and so had come within reach
of his little black hand. Still he could
have eaten more if Hooty the Owl had
not brought him the news that Bowser
the Hound and Farmer Browns boy
with his terrible gun were in the Green
Forest. Just as soon as he had heard
that Bobby Coon had lost his appetite.
They are hunting for me, that's what
they are DOING said Bobby Coon to
himself. Now what shall I do? If
go home / may meet them and that
would be-well. that would be very
unpleasant" Bobby shivered just lit
tie as he thought of it. If Farmer
Browns boy was alone 1 could fool
him just as easily as not but Bowser
the Hound is different. That nose of
his would just smell me out and I'm
that 1 had stayed right In my hollow
tree"
Then Bobby remembered how hungry
he had been and how good those little
minnows he had caught had tasted and
