Brook. He felt very good. 1t almos,

proven smarter than some one else. Billy
doubtful If there was one among Billys
friends who would have escaped had
they been in his place. That is because
none OF. them act SO quickly as does
Billy. It was his quickness which had
saved him. For when he had caught
sight of that moving shadow Hooty was
already reaching for him with those
great, CRUEL claws Of his.
But escapes like this are so common
to Billy Mink that he gave no further
trouble at all he had given Hooty' the
Owl the slip and he knew that Hooty
hadn't the least idea in which direction
he had vanished. So, lght-heartedly, he
continued his way, but never for an
instant did he fail to make use of eyes,
going on about him.
Presently Billy spied off to one side
a little white mound under a hemlock
tree. 1t looked very much like other
little white mounds scattered here and
there. Billy knew that these little
mounds were simply snow covered logs
and stumps. They were everywhere
through the Green Forest. So Billy paid
no particular attention to this little
mound and ran past with hardly a
glance at it. But he had gone only a
few feet when a wandering little Night
Breeze caught up with him and tickled
his nose. Instantly Billy Mink turned
and with hardly pause bounded
straight toward that little mound
You see, that little wandering Night
Breeze was tickling his nose with a de-
licious scent 1t was the scent of Jump
er the Hare. Billy didn't know where
Jumper was. but he knew that all he
had to do to find him was to follow
that scent with his nose. So Billy bound

hunter in his eyes. watching ahead for

Demand for Liberty bonds was excel
lent yesterday. A large investment house
reported that it had received orders from
all parts Of the country. These orders,

reached handsome total. They all vir-
tually were on the buying side of the

indications that the wave of liquidation
which has depressed prices Of Liberty
bonds to their present low levels had
about run its course.
The majority of the various issues of
Liberty bonds registered gains yesterday.
First 31a's moved up eight cents on the
800 bond. The most active issue and the
strongest, however. was the fourth 4h's.
They rallied from 91.20 to 91.4S under
steady buying. Victory notes were a
trifle lower, with the 334 per cents COM
manding a somewhat better price than
the 43i's.
Corporation bonds were less active than
usual. The market was heavy, fractional
declines occurring in a number Of rail-
road bonds. Exceptions to the downward
trend were the Pennsylvania Railroad
general 5's, of 1868. They had strong
tone.
Foreign bonds moved about as did cor
poration bonds. The market in them was
narrow. Nearly all of the various issues
registered small declines.

lateral and all industrial securities were
made yesterday at per cent. That is
per cent below the rate for the preceding
day. After renewals had been made the
rate declined to per cent. Final transac-

The tone OF the call money market was
easier than it has been any day during

kinds of collateral were made at per
cent on December u. but belated bor-
rowers were compelled to pay as high as
is per cent for money on that date.
Time money was in demand with but
little offered. Bids of from Sh to Sih per
cent were made for periods of from thirty

clined to renew time loans that came due
yesterday. AS a result borrowers were
compelled to turn to the call money mar
ket for funds.
