Chatterer Tries Some Tricks.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel had no hope.
He was growing tired and more tired and
still more tired as he ran through the
tree tops, while behind him came Shadow
the Weasel. AT last he grew so tired
that he felt that he had just got to have
a few minutes of rest. Perhaps he could
fool Shadow. Anyway he would try. He
ran down to the ground. wriggied his
way through big pile of brush. hurried
over to another tree and started up. But
instead Of going nearly to the top as
usual and then leaping across to another
tree he ran out on little dead STUB OF
a branch only half way up the tree and
jumping straight over to the trunk OF
another tree, where his sharp claws
caught in the rough bark. And as he
jumped there was a snap behind him.
Chatterer knew what it meant. The 1T
tie dead stub from which he had jumped
had broken short off close to the trunk
of the tree.
The first little ray of hope he had had
stole into Chatterer's heart. There would
be nothing now to show ShadoW the
Weasel I'm which direction he had gone,
Chatterer crept into an old nest of Sam
my Jays, where he could watch and rest
and get his breath. He didn't nave TO
wait long. 4 long slim form came bound
ing along the ground in long leaps. Chat-
terer trembled all over when he saw it.
1t was Shadow the Weasel. Straight to
the tree from which Chatterer had
jumped he went and up to the place
where the little dead stub had broken
Off There the trail ended. Shadow ran
up a little way above and circled wholly
round the tree trunk. His nose told him
that no Squirrel had been there. Then
he returned to the place where the little
dead stub had been broken off and looked
across to the tree in which Chatterer was
hiding.
Poor Chatterer! He knew by the look
in those fierce red eyes that Shadow
wasn't fooled. He knew just where he
had gone and he didn't wait to see Shad-
ow run down the tree and across to the
one in which he was waiting. No, sir.
he didn't wait. He had had a Wee bit
of rest and chance to get his breath,
and now he started on again headlong as
before, with the same great fear clutch
ing at his heart and the little ray of hope
quite gone But that little trick had
given him a few minutes In which to rest.
and so presently he ,rled to think of
some other trick, though right down in
side he felt that 1t would be of no real
use.
This time he tried criss-crossing his
own trail. running back and forth and
round and round all over the branches
of a spruce tree. and then once more ran
on, this time along the ground unit! he
came to a hollow log. He ran in at one
end, out at the other, back along the
outside of the log and then did it all
over again. finally making long jump
from the end of the log off to one side.
But he was SO tired that the jump was
not nearly SO long as he had meant 1t
