THE oUNCI ARRIVES

Now while the other creatures were
away looking up the Forest Council,
Tinker Bob and Mr.. Musk Rat visited
with the Pocket Gopher. To be sure,
Mr.. Gopher was not sure that this fell
low was Three-Legs, yet he thought
there were some actions that seemed
to, be familiar. He went up 70 Nj
Musk Rats ear and examined it, then
he looked at his tail, then at the foot
that had been put back into its place.
As far as he could see, this fellow
looked like the Mr.. Musk Rat known
as ThreelLegs-but now he had fourA

answered Nj. Gopher. Then he pulled
out a few grains Of wheat from the
other pocket.
DO you have two pockets?" asked
Mr.. Musk Rat, somewhat surprised.
Eyes, I have a pocket on each side
Of my face. That's what makes my
paw into the pockets to show Mr..
Musk Rat that he was telling the
truth.
Tinker Bob then took Mr.. Gopher on
his knee and examined the pockets
himself. Mr.. Gopher wouldn't let any
one else DO such a thing as that, for
his teeth are very sharp and he is
very quick. and II anyone else should
tryssto do anything with him he would
bite them hard. But Tinker Bobsaka&
"a wonderful King and the Creatures
Of the Forest loved him. " e
Now the reason that, Mr. Gopher IL
so quick and dangerous is because
Mr.. Weasel and Mr.. Red Fox and Mr..
Badger have been trying to catch
him. Mr.. Weasel caught him by the
tail once, but could not hold him; ana
then he went around to the front-en-
trance of Mr.. Gopher's house and
waited till Mr.. Gopher came along.
He tried to catch him feom the front,
but he did not know that this quick
