CHATTERER HAS "A DREADFUL
THOUGHT.
By THORNTON ". BURGESS.
Copyright 1919. BY ]. q. Lloyd.)

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was al
most too frightened to think. tle
knew that the end must come soon
unless something wonderful happened.
The simple little tricks he had tried
had not fooled Shadow the Weasel at
all. He was right in the very next tree
and Chatterer didn't even dare stop to
look behind. Then an Idea popped in
to his head. 1t just seemed to come
without any thinking on his part. It
was a dreadful idea-a truly dreadful
idea. At first Chatterer wouldn't let
himself think Of it. at all. But, little
by little. he did think of it and the
more he thought Of it the less dread
full it seemed. That is a way bad
thoughts have-the longer you let
them stay the less bad they seem. And
1t was 80 with Chatterer now. What
was the dreadful thought? Why. It
was to lead Shadow the Weasel over
to the home Of Happy Jack the Gray
Squirrel, who. you know, is own cous-

"If he finds Happy Jack at home
he'll forget all about me-" thought
Chatterer, for Happy Jack is bigger
and fatter than I am n will make a
better dinner. OF course, 1 don't like
to do It: 1t really is a very dreadful
thing to do. No. sir, I don't like to
do 1t; butt is every body for
himself these days, and IL can't run
much longer. OF course. 1t won't be
really my fault IL Happy Jack gets
killed. because all I'll do is to simply
run past his door. Then, If Shadow
chooses to go in there why-why-
we'll, It won't be my fault"
