 T don't see why he want. to catcl me" Reddy erumbled He cant know-yet-that I'm fond of nuts But in the fall, when the nuts are ripe, I expect I'll make him almos' crazy"
 The next time Reddy met his tor mentor he called to him as pleasantly as if thered never been any trouble between them.
 "Hows this place for nuts?" Red dy inquired.
 "Tine!' cried Frisky Squirrel. The woods beyond the meadows are ia, raous for their beechnuts,"
 Don't I? Oh, don't r" Reddy T m glad I settled here"
 Frisky Squirrel gave hin a sharr look
 You don't like beechnuts do you % he asked.
 Don't Io Oh, don't ?' Reddy Woodpecker cried.
 Strange to say Frisky Squirrel knew the answer to that question.
 "Oh. You d. like them" he chat tered. Well, maybe there aren't as many beechnuts as I thought. May be the beechnutting is poor here. Nc Goubt nj mistaken about it Why don't you go over on the other side ot Blue Mountain to live? You're sure to find plenty Of beechnuts over there next fall"

He could climb trees as well as Eeddv Woodpecker himself. And though he couldn't fly io was very .killful at lesping from one tree top into another. Whenever Reddy Woodpecker hap rened to turn around and spy this lurking stranger the fellow acted as f he hadn't seen Eeddy Woodpecker He would pretend to whisk a, bit ot bark off the tip of his tail or arrange has mustache But the moment Red dy turned his back upon him the stranger would creep little nearer.
 At last this sly person made quick dash at Reddy Wee dpecker one day. He discovered, then, that Reddy was both wideawake ard spry. For Reddy slipped off the tree trunk where he had been clinging and easily escape d the greedy clutches of the stranger.
 It's no wonder that Reddy was angry. No one would care to have his breakfast interrupted in such a fash ion.
 T knew that sneak meant to catch me if he could" Reddy muttered to himself as he went on with his break fast.
 few moments later his cousin, MT Flicker, settled upon an ant hill be- low him.
 Who is that stranger?' Reddy Woodpecker asked Mr. Flicker.

STORM OF PROTEST
 GREfTS RETRIEVE
British Press Denounces Action
 Taken in Ronald True'S Case

sar Francieco, June 1o.-Majol 1 Ronald True, whose reprieve from the | ga!lows for murder brought a storm l of protest from the British press yes i terday, claimed to be Lord Defreyne
 s,epson of Lord Glen Falloch of Scot land, when he served 15-monthi 1 federal sentence in the Alameda l Calf, county jail 'n 1915 for forging stolen postal money orders Son of Nobleman. British newspapers freely intimat- 1 ed that True was the son Of one Of the | most noted gentle women of the Eng hsh nobility, but True's identity has teen withheld by the British anthori- ties since he was tried for the mur- der of Gertrude Yales in London three
 weeks ago and saved from hanging by commitment to a hospital for the | criminal insane.
 Facts Of Conviction. The facts of his conviction and sen tence in Alameda across the bay from San Francisco were brought to light Dv William Madeira, post office h.
 spectoe who traced True in his flight from the Pacific coast to New Or leans, where he was arrested for the theft and forgery of money orders Comparison of photographs of the
 English telon with those of True taken here completed the identifica. tion.
 Claimed Title. 1 At the time of his conviction here
 he claimed right 10 the title of the l honorable Arthur Reginald French,
 otherwise Lord de Freyne, Of French
 Park, County Roscommon, Ireland. He was an adventurer and born soldier of fortune, according to the officer.
 He had been an army officer,
 sheep rancher in Africa, aviator in
 Brazil, member Of the royal Canadian
 mounted police, and while here in san Francisco tried his hand at prize fighting" Madeira said.
 London, June 1o.--The outcry against the reprieve of Major Ronald True who was committed to an insti-
 tuition for the criminal insane after
