 Just a little way ffom the shore of the pond of Paddy the Beaver deep in the Green Forest slept Honker the Goose and his flock. Many. many miles had they flown since the break of the day and they were very. very tired. Here in Paddy's pond they felt safe and they went to sleep without worry. They were so sure nothing could harm them there that they dicn't even keep one guard
 Yet as gentle Mistress Moon looked down on that peaceful scene and flooded the pond with her soft light hungry eyes. fierce eyes. were peer ine out from the bushes and brush along the shore. They glowed with eagerness and longing as they saw the great dark masses floating on the water. for their noses told them that those dark masses were great birds sleeping there. You see. the

 Reddy Fox was sure, quite sure, | that never in his life had he wanted anything as he wanted one of those | great birds for his dinner. old Man | Coyote had precisely the same feel ing. And so did Yowler the Bob Cat ' not to mention Mrs. Reddy and old Granny Fox. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had come together,Nput for a while none of the others knew of the pres epce of any but themselves.
 But out in the pond was a silent watchman who knew just where each was. It was Paddy the Beaver. His nose had told him that. As quietly as the sleeping Geese he floated. lis tening for some sound of the enemies he knew were all around the pond. He didn't dare go ashore eo work, so he kept watch
 Now those watchers had approached the pond from different directions, each taking the greatest care to make no sound. As soon as it was discov. cred just where those Geese were sleeping each hungry, eager hunter began to steal noiselessly around to the place on the shore nearest those sleeping birds, hoping that one of them would drift near enough to be caught.
 Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy were the first to reach that place. Paddy didn't hear them. but his nose told him just where they were. Presently old Granny Fox joined them. Still they made no sound. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy may have been disappointed, but they said nothing. After all she was one of the family
 A few minutes later the faintest of growls came to the listening ears of Paddy the Beaver. Paddy grinned.
 "Old Man Coyote has arrived" he muttered. "He is too smart to speak loud enough to waken those Geese. but I guess those Foxes understand him all right Probably he is show ing all his teeth. and they don't like the look of them. Ha! I thought as much" he added as the faint rus tie of leaves reached him. Those Foxes have had to move along and give up their place to Old Man Coy ote How they must hate him"
 For "a time Paddy heard nothing more. All was as still as if no liv- Ing creature was ntdr. lncH suudcH-l ly there was a low growl followed by splitting sound and faint but ugly snarl. Again Paddy grinned. 4 "Yowler the Bob Cat, as l liver he exclaimed under his breath. He is orr dering Old Man Coyote away, and Old Man Coyote won't dare stay. How that will tickle those Foxes.

 Not five minutes later Paddy had his wish He heard Fowler snarl. It was a tow snarl. but ugly one. It was answered by a deep, rumbiy. grumbly growl There was the sound of sharp claws on wood and Paddy knew that Yowler had taken to tree Then in the silvery moonlight a black form reared above the bushes. It was Buster Bear, who had just caught the scent of those Geese.

MUSIC WHILE SHAVING

MUSIC WHILE SHAVING We read about the barber shop Where flutes and violins Resound the while the barbers strop Their blades and shave your chins. Said we, with an expectant smile, s'We shall be soothed and cheered To hear sweet music play the while The man takes off our beard" And so we settled in chair. And somnolent became; The barber shaved us to an air That came from La Boheme He started thus-alas! but soon, With an unholy din. The orchestra had changed its tune / Before he reached our chin. Puccini's stuff fine effect Upon a barber has, But he gets rough--as you'd expect When listening to jazz; And when from out the dreadful
