had fooled them the day she broke
the tran at the big stone, Dusky
guessed that she might try some
new trick TO puxGle them this tlme,
and so he kept his nose right in
her tracks. The others were quite
willing TO let him do the work. and
there were so many new and won
derful things to see that they soon
forgot to keep their nosos TO the
ground
Their mother soon slipped out OF
sight. Dusky had expected she
would. and grinned. The ground
was damp and the scent left by her
feet was strong In Dusky's nose.
Presently he came 10 tiny little

scent stopped. Dusky stopped and
