He just trusted to luck to find some
thing besides fish to eat. He had stop
ped at the Smiling Pool to pass the
time of day with Jerry Muskrat. and 1t
was while he was there that he had
noticed Rattles the Kingfisher flying
down the Laughing Brook with a tiny
fish in his big bill. 1t wasn't long be-
fore he was back watching for another
fish. and when he caught it he took it
off down the Laughing Brook. This
was enough for Billy Mink. He knew
right away what it meant. 1t meant
that somewhere down the Laughing
Brook was home with babies in II.
The very thought made Billy's mouth
water. He cut his visit with Jerry
Muskrat short and started down the
Laughing Brook.
Now. unlike Peter Rabbit. Billy knew
lust what to look for. and where to
ways of Rattles the Kingfisher and just
what kind of place he would choose
for home. and he didn't have a doubt
of being able to find it. But he took
precious good care not to let Rattles
the Kingfsher catch a glimpse of him.
He knew that If Rattles once saw him
going down the Laughing Brook he
would mount guard oyer his home, and
Billy was of no mind to face that sharp,
spearlike bill which Rattles possesses
So whenever he heard Rattles coming
Billy hid until the way was clear once
more.
You remember that Billy was hiding
right near the sand bank where Rat
ties had made his home at the time Pc
ter Rabbit, watching from the opposite
shore. discovered it. All that Peter
saw Billy Mink saw. too. He saw the
little hole close UP under the edge of
the high sand bank where the grasses
hung over and partly hid it He saw
Rattles go in and come out again. And
when he swan across to the foot of the
bank and tested the air with his keen
little nose he smelled young kingf1sh-
ers. Before he had made up his mind
Just what to do he heard Ratties re-
turning. and once more hid. The in
slant Rattles departed again for an
other tiny fish for those hungry babies
Billy scrambled up the bank There
was no time to lose. He wanted to get
those babies and get away before Rat
ties should return. He had nothing to
fear from the little kingfishers: they
would be quite helpless and harmless.
So Billy scrambled up the sand bank
and in the hole. The instant he put his
head inside he forgot everything but
the feast he would have, for his nose
told him that way back at the end of q
long hall was a nestful of young BIRDS
If he had stopped to smell a little more
carefully that nose of his might have
told him something else. But he was
SO eager that he didn't stop to find out
all that his nose might have told him,
That was where he made a mistake-a
very great mistake. If he had needed
his nose he would have remembered
something which he had quite forgot
ten in his greedy haste. He would have
remembered that he hadn't seen any,
thing of Mrs. Rattles. and Mrs. Rattles
carries quite as big and sharp a bill as
does Rattles himself
But Billy had forgotten all about this.
and in his greedy haste pushed on
along that narrow hall where there
wasn't room to turn around 1t was q
very great mistake Half
way to the nest at the end of that long
hall Billy found it out.
