MAJOR POLE CAT ARRIVES.

Now it was. very wrong for Jerry to
be so rude q to tell everything he
knew about Bob White being taken
to Bird Heaven. It made Bob Whites
brother feel very badly, because he
wanted to tell the truth about his
visit and he knew that Jerry had the
habit of telling things that were not
true.
While this fellow was hiding in the
thicket and talking to Johnny Field
Mouse, Tinker Bob was investigating
the sounds that came to his ear from
a tree some distance away. Said he to
himself: II I &C to the tree boldly,
and I will not know what. it, is all
about" So he decided to tap the Stone
Of the Unseen and see IL he could Ret
close to the tree without being seen. ;,
He tapped the Stone against the
Stone OF knowledge and at once he
T PASSED out Of sight SO that no creature
of the Forest could see him, and the
Beautiful Creature took him silently
to the tree where the voices WERE
heard. OF course Tinker Bob could see
everything that was going on, but nc
n could see. him, and he could hea,
the mingled voices OF many forest
dwsllers. The first voice. however
that was speaking plain was this one,

Professor Davis is engaged in ex-
