wasn't a turkey cock anywhere il
sight, neither on the ground nor If

Just for moment Turkey Proud
foot was worried.
That wasn't my gobble, was it,
he asked the rooster IF l gobbled,
didn't know it."
NO! You didn't gobble," said the
rooster, though I must say that COB
bling sounded good deal like yours. "
"Gobble, gobble, gobble, goblet
There it goes again." cried Turkey
Proudfoot. He was almost frantic,
How can I fight that fellow if I
can't see him." he cried. He looked
up on the roof OF the barn; but there
was no one there except the gilded
rooster that told which way the wind
blew. He looked up on the roof Of the
farmhouse.
You don't suppose that fellows
hiding in the chimney, do YOU" he
asked the rooster.
No doubt he is said the rooster.
IF s~ere you I'd fly up there and
catch him"

remarked, Still, I could flap up to
the top of the woodshed and get 10
the house from there -. III take
a look and see how high the house
looks when I'm near it."
To the ROSTERS delight, Turkey
Proudfoot started towards the house.
The rooster promptly called to all the
hens to come quick" because Tur-
key Proudfoot was going to fly to the
roof of the farmhouse. Il hope he
won't get into trouble" said the roos-
ter with a chuckle. 1T would be a
pity if he fell down the chimney
In spite of his words, the rooster
didn't look at all uneasy. Indeed, the
only thing that worried him was the
fear that Turkey Proudfoot wouldn't
get himself into a scrape, But he
thought it more polite not to say eX-
acty what he hoped.
Turkey Proudfoot stalked up to the
farmhouse and stopped near the pi-
azza. He was gazing upwards and

Douglas Fairbanks has the leading
