corner. He still felt sure that some
thing terrible was going to happen.
Farmer Browns boy took the box out
onto the shed and put it where the sun
shone into it. For little while he stay
ed watching, but Chatterer still sulked
and sulked. BY and by he went away,
taking Black Pussy with him and Chat
terer was alone.
When he was quite sure that no one
was about Chatterer began to wonder
what sort of place he was in and if
there wasn't some way to get out. He
found that one side and the top were of
fine stout wire through which he could
look out. and that the other sides and the
bottom were of wood covered with wire
so that there was no chance for his sharp
teeth to gnaw way out. In one corner
was a stout piece of an apple tree with
two little stubby branches to sit on and
half way up a little round hole Very
cautiously Chatterer peeped inside the
hole. Inside was a splendid hollow. On
the floor of the box was little heap of
shavings and bits of rag. And there was
a little pile of yellow corn. How Chat
terer did hate the sight of that corn, You
see it was corn that had got him into all
this trouble. At least that is the way
Chatterer felt about it. When he had
examined everything he knew that there
was no way out. Chatterer was in a
prison. though that is not what Farmer
Browns boy called it. He said it was
cage.

Chatterer Is Put in Prison.
Who ever does a deed that's wrong
Will surely find some day
That for that naughty act of his
He'll surely have to pay.


That was the way with Chatterer the
Red Squirrel. OF course he had no bust
ness to steal corn from Farmer Browns
corncrib. To be sure he felt that he
had just as much right to that corn as
Farmer Brown had. You see the little
people of the Green Meadows and the
Green Forest feel that everything that
grows belongs to them if they want 1t
and are smart enough to get it before
some one else does. But it Is just there
that Chatterer went wrong. Farmer
Brown had harvested that corn and stor-
ed it in his corncrib, and SO, of course,
no one else had any right to it. Right
down deep in his heart Chatterer knew
this. If he hadn't known it he wouldn't
have been so sly in taking what he want
ed He knew all the time that he was
stealing. but he tried to make himself
believe that it was all right So he had
kept on stealing and stealing until at last
he was caught in a trap. and now he had
got to pay for his wrongdoing.
Chatterer was very miserable, so miser-
able and frightened that he could do
shivery bali He hadn't the least doubt
in the world that this was his very last
day and that Farmer Browns boy would
turn MIN over to cruel Black Pussy for
her breakfast. Farmer Browns boy had
left him in the trap in the house and had
gone out. For long time Chatterer
could hear pounding out in the woodshed
and Farmer Browns boy whistling as he
pounded Chatterer wondered how he
could whistle and seem so happy when
he meant to do such a dreadful thing as
to give him to Black Pussy. After what
seemed a very long time. ages and ages,
Farmer Browns boy came back. He
had with him queer looking box.

was looking on with hungry yellow eyes.
He struggled and did his best to bite. but
the thick glove gave his sharp little
