THE TRACKS IN THE SNOW.

| One fine winters day Fatty Coon
came upon the queerest tracks in the
snow They were huge-a great deal
bigger, leven, than bear-tracks, which
Fatty had sometimes seen, for once in
a while, before the weather grew
too cold, and he fell into his winters
sleep, a bear would. come down into
the valley from his home on Blue
Mountain.
But these were six times as big as
bear tracks. And Fatty felt shiver of
fear run up and down his back.
He followed the trail little way.
But he was very careful He was al
ways ready to scramble up a tree, in
case he should suddenly see the
strange animal--or rather, in case the
strange animal should see him.
The great tracks led straight toward
Farmer Green's house. And Fatty did
not want to go there. So he hurried
home to ask his mother what he had
found.
Mrs Coon listened to Fatty's story.
Il think it must be the monster that
almost caught me in the road last
summer" said Fatty, meaning the au-
tomobile that had given him great
fright. Maybe he's come back again
to catch Farmer Green and his family
Z Do you sduppose he's eaten
them up?"
Mrs. Coon was puzzled And she was
some what alarmed, too. She wanted to
see those strange tracks herself. So
she told her other childTen not to step
a foot out of the house until she came
back. And then she asked Fatty to
run along and show her where he had
come upon the Monsters trail
Fatty Coon felt very important. as
he led the way across the swamp and
into the woods It was not often that
he could show his mother anything.
And he was so proud that he almost
forgot his fright.
81 guess you're glad have sharp
eyes," he said. as they hurried along.
eff the tracks are as big as you say
they are. your eyes wouldn't have to
be very sharp to see them" his moth.
ed told him. Mrs. Coon never liked to
hear her children boast. She knew
that Sboasting Is one of the most up

Children 3 Evening Story

I pheasant things anyone can do.
"Well-maybe you don't think saw
the monsters tracks at all" said Fat
ty. Maybe you don't think heard
him speech"
when did you hear him screech 2,
Mrs. Coon asked. This is the first
you've said about screeching. When
was it,"
Last summer" Fatty answered
Mrs. Coon didn't smile. Perhaps she
was too worried for that.
1T may not be the same monster
at all"
But by this time Fatty was sure he
was right. He was sure he knew more
than his mother
"Why can't We 60 right over to-
Farmer Green's and take some of his
lchickens?" he asked. ''The monster
has probably eaten him by this time,
and all his family, too"
But Mrs. Coon would do no such
thing.
