Tinker Bob started with his sled

homeward journey he took another
route which led over hills and
through wales. On the top Of a long
hill he seated himself on his sled,
gave 2 little start and he was Off
for as1ong Ride toward. the Great
Forest. When he was a little more
than half way down the hill, he
heard the cry Of. a forest dweller, but
1t was impossible to stop because he
was. going very fast. The cry, how
ever, was familiar, and he knew that
there was something wrong.

said he aloud, and he came to a sud-

walking around him was an odd look

nearly black in color. This strange
fellow was trying to turn Perky owe

he could do nothing SO long as he re-
manned on his feet. Chief Perky
seemed to realize this was a real
