What did you see?" she asked coldly. Did you notice anything stranger No ma'am." said Andrew meekly. "Yet you are the man who pretends to love his home! You are the man who says that this is the one hallowed spot in the whole world where he come and with world of strife shut out and a world of love shut in, can rest in peace!
 You are the man who thinks home should be a home in reality. and as I heard you say to Billy Sands the other night, a woman who keeps a mans

 with a cold stare, "are the man who says
 that when a man goes down town and earns an income 1t is the woman's place to provide him with comfortable home and that she should appreciate his ef-

''What is he doing that for?' de- manded Johnny Chuck, as with pug z1ed look on As race he watched Prick ly Pork of the Porcupine switch hls tail from side to side.
 ''Go near enough to be hit by it and youll understand" replied Old Mother Nature, dryly. That is his one weapon. Whoever is hit by that tail will find himself Full of those little spears and will take care never to go near him again. Ask Brewser the Hound, he knows. Once those little spears have entered the skin they keep working deeper and deeper. More than one Of his enemies have been killed by them On account of those tiny barbs they are hard to pull out, and pulling them out hurts dreadfully. Just try one"
 But no one was anxious to try, so Old Mother Nature continued. You will notice that he moves that tail quickly. It is the only thing about him which is quick. When he is in danger and has chance to he likes to get his head under q log or rock in- stead of putting it between his paws as he is now doing. Then he plants his feet firmly and waits for a chance to use his tail
 .'Is it true that he can throw those little spears at folks?" asked Peter Rabbit.

 What about your home asked Happy Jack Squirrel.
 Home is wherever I happen to be-" replied Prickly PorlSy. Mrs. Perky has home in hollow log or cave or under the roots of tree, and there the babies are born. I guess that is all I can tell you"
 You might add that those babies are very large for the size of their mother and have a full supply of quills when they are born,' said Old Mother Nature. Also you forgot to say how fond you are of salt Pekan the Fisher is your worst enemy, but Puma the Panther is dangerous at times, and even Buster Bear when he Is very hungry will take a chance on turning you over. By the way don't any of you ever call Prickly Porky a Hedge hog. He isn't one. He is some etimes called a Quill Pig, but his real name is Porcupine.
