later became the mascot of the Thirty

That is one of Blacky's wise sayings,
and he lives up to it. 1t is one rea-
son he has become regarded by all
his neighbors as one of the smartest
of all who live in the Green Forest
and on the Green Meadows. He sell
dom gets into any real trouble, be-
cause he first makes sure there is no
trouble to get into. When he dis
covers something he does not under
stand he is at once distrustful of it.
. AS he watched a man scattering
yellow corn in the water from the
shore of the Big River he at once
became suspicious. He couldn't un-
derstand why man should throw
good corn among the rushes and
wild rice in the water, and because
be couldn't understand he at once
{. began to suspect that it was for no
good purpose. When the man left
in boat Blacky slowly flew back over
<fhe rushes where the man had thrown
he corn, and presently his sharp eyes
made discovery that caused him to
Fexclaim right out.
What was it Blacky had discov-
cred? Only few feathers clinging
to the rushes where the corn had
been thrown, a few downy feathers.
No one with eyes less sharp than
Blacky's would have noticed them.
And few would have given them a
thought if they had noticed them. But
Blacky knew right away that those
were feathers from Duck. He knew
that Duck, or perhaps a flock of
Ducks. had been resting or feeding
IN tns-:e among those rushes and that
IN moving about they had left those
two or three downy feathers.
"Ha!" exclaimed Blacky. "Mr. and
Mrs. Quack or some of their relatives
have been here. 1t is just the kind
Of place Ducks like. Also some
Ducks like corn. If they should come
back here and find this corn they
would have feast and they would
be sure to come again. That man who
scattered the corn here didn't have

that he isn't hunter. He may come

his heart.

don't, indeed. I'll keep watch of this
place and see what happens"
All the way to his favorite perch
IN a certain big hemlock tree in the
Green Forest Blacky kept thinking
about that corn and the man who had
seemed to be so generous with 1t, and
the more he thought the more sus-
picious he became. He didn't like tho
looks of it. He didn't like the looks
of it at ALL
"I'll warn the Quacks to keep away
from there. III do it the very first
thing in the morning." he muttered
as he prepared to go to sleep. "I4
they have any sense at all they will
stay in the pond of Paddy the Beaver.
But if they should go over to the
Big River they would be almost sure
to find that corn, and if they should
once find it they would keep going
back for more. 1t may be all right,
but don't like the looks of it,"
And still full of suspicious, Blacky
went to sleep.
