Mar. PossUM was hungry and he

I ing very hard when it suddenly oc-
, Cured to him that he' had not paid
any visits to his friends in the woods
| in some time.
There is Mr.. Fox" he thought, The

have a pantry full of just the things

So Mr. Possum tTotted of to MIR.

Not a sound could he hear, though he
put his ear close 20 the door each time

IN.
He could see just the tip end of Mr..
Bears nose sticking up from the bed

he could hear the sounds OF loud breath

Mr.. Possum stood some time think

of Mr.. Bears house to the pantry
window and looked at it.
1t was not very high, but too high

thought of. so he rolled a stone un-

brought him up to the window sill
He could see through the window

Mr.. Possum tried the window and it

Mr.. Possum tasted the cake; it was

Well. that was the way Mr. PoSsum

on a bit of minced meat and dropped

he felt sure il was the sound of falling

opened the pantry door and then he
growled louder.
"Who has been in here while I was
asleep and eaten all my good things?'
he said, hunting all around for the

He looked behind the door, he looked
back OF the flour barrel and the mo-
lasses barrel. for Mr.. Bear vas very

The Duchess Of York led him about her

keys. Next morning a kangaroo and
a macaw strolled into Raikes' bedroom.
He was too much of a courtier to tell
his terror. At breakfast he said, eff
