! when the man of the place saw what
he supposed to be a weasel. white as
snow. The cat and dog scented trouble.

| Many times he was almost captured
but proved too spry for his enemies.
| After much chasing it was discovered
that the animal was not a weasel but a
white squirrel who is living in tree
with a common red squirrel. The lady
iof the house says that the little red
| squirrel is very tame, and the only one
seen around there for the winter. They
have fed him in the shed and undoLbt-
