Il think there's something won
derful hid in that sycamore tree
trunk" said Willy in an important
whisper. I've been watching that
bat for three evenings and every
time he is through his days sleep
he comes out of that hollow trunk.
And every time he is through his
supper he goes back in again. Let's
climb up the tree and see what he
has hid in there" So Will and
Mrs. Willy climbed stealthily up
that tree trunk to the hollow win ere
the bat lived, and peered into the
hole.
And just at that minute Mrs.
Browny Bat darted out from the
hollow trunk in search of her sup

WHAT ARE YOU looking at, Willy
Woodrat?" asked Mrs. Willy one
evening Just before the short twi-
hight faded away into night.
No answer.
Willy Wood-rat," she repeated.
what are you looking at? Tell
mel"
No answer.
Willy Wood-rat stood perfectly
still and kept his eyes fixed on the
tree at which he had been staring
for many minutes.
Mrs. Willy knew that it was use
less to ask him again. If he did not
answer a question at the second
asking he never would. Willy was
queer that way. Sometimes he
would chatter away in lively fash
ion; and then sometimes he
wouldn't answer a word to the most
urgent questions. Willy always ex-
planned that he wanted Mrs. Willy
to have the fun Of finding things
out for herself-but that answer
didn't satisfy Mrs. Willy bit. She
didn't want to bother to find out
things for herself, she wanted to
be told in the quickest way pos
sible, just as you and / do.
But she knew Willy. If he
wanted her to discover something
for herself, she might as well start
discovering at once for he'd never
tell her where to look. (That was
very good training for Mrs. WHY'S
sharp eyes, though she didn't real

She slipped around behind him
and looked up to where his eyes
were watching-up at the big syca-
more trunk. But she couldn't see
anything of interest.
Maybe I'm not looking right
thought she, and she again looked
at Willy to see where he was watch
ing, and then, seeing she had been
right, she again looked up at the
tree.
She was Just about to say,
willy, how silly you are to sit
there looking at that sycamore tree

Mayor Fawcett during council

Bodayla, discharged police Off

that Bodayla had been released
