said: My dear lady, l can sympathize

yet she was In plain sight She found
Celia very busy about the kitchen stove
and unusually flushed from its heat
What was DR.. Golf doing here in my

Celia tried to laugh. why. mamma, he

night to the Merry Little Breezes for

hind the Purple Hills. 1t was SO still
that after while Prickly Porky began
to wonder if he was all alone. You see,
being curled up That way he couldn't see
and had to trust to his ears. He wait
enough To peep out There sat Old Man
Coyote. Prickly Perky promptly curlcd
up again.
Now the minute he curled up again so
that he couldn't see something happened
old Man Coyote looked up at Sammy jay
and Blacky the Crow and Winked once
more. Then very softly, softly that
he didn't so much as rustic leaf. he
tiptoed around to the other side of Prick
ly i'orky and sat down Just as before.
NOW thought he, when he peeps out
again he will think ! have gone and then
perhaps I can catch him by surprise
Bobby Coon saw through his plan right
away. Some one ought to warn Prickly
Porky," he whispered to Unc' Billy Pos

Une' Billy shook his head. No he
whispered back. mo. Brer Coon. That
wouldn't be fair It's they-alls' quarrel

do. All reckon il wouldn't be right TO US

For a long time nothing happened. Then
Old Man Coyote grew tired of waiting.
Very carefully he crept nearer and near
er. with his nose stretched out to sniff at
that prickly ball on the ground. Every
body held his breath, for everybody re-
membered what had happened to Bow
ser the Hound when he came shifting
around Prickly Porky; how Prickly
Porky's tail had suddenly slapped Bowser
full in the face. filling it with sharp little
spears: and now they hoped to see the
same thing happen To Old Man Coyote
and they held their breath as they
kept their eyes OH Prickly Porkys tail.

Prickly Porky's Tail.

Must overcome thousand quilts
Before his stomach Porky fills.
And SO it is with YOU and me
With everybody whom see:
With Reddy Fox and Billy Mink.
And all the rest Of whom we think.
On meadows green in Smiling Pool
OR hidden in the forest cool;
The thing we've set our hearts upon
Must past thousand spears he won.
No one knows better than did Old Man
Coyote as he ran round and round
Prickly Porky. He had never felt one of
those little spears which Prickly Porky
ratified so fiercey, and he had no mind
to. You see he didn't like the looks of
them. When finally Prickly Porky grew
tired OF turning round and round so as
to always face Old Man Coyote. and so
lay down and curled up into a great
prickly ball, like a huge chestnut burr
Old Man Coyote sat down just little
way off to study how he was going to get
at Pfickly Porky without getting hurt by
some of those sharp, barbed little spears
For long time he sat and studied and
studied, his tongue hanging out of one
side of his mouth. Once he looked up at
Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow and
winked. but didn't make a sound. Sam
my and Blacky chuckled to themselves
and winked back 'and for wonder they
didn't make sound, either. Somehow
that wink made them have more Of
friendly feeling for Old Man Coyote. You
see that wink told them that he was just
the same kind of a sly rogue as them
selves and so right away they had fell
low feeling for him.
And none of the little meadow and for
est people looking made a sound.
Some of them didn't dare to, and others
were anxious to see what would hap
pen next that they didn't want to. It
