and bumped against trees. and slapped
in the face by twigs of bushes.
But Unc' Billy made no sign that
he was alive. He hung as limp and
mot;onless as If he were really dead:
Not once did it enter the heads of
the hunters that he wasn't dead. But
all the time Unc' Billy was very much
alive. In fact, there wasn't anything
the matter with him. The thump
when he had hit the ground had
that was all. You see he had known
how to fall. He had fallen as Imply
as he now hung by his tail.
For a while nothing happened
Then Unc' Billy heard the voice Of
that dog who had chased him up a
tree. He knew by the sound that
that dog had found the tracks of
some one and was following them.
The hunters became excited They
hurried after the dog. and. because
1t was night and. of coure. dark in
the Green Forest Unc' Billy was
bumped against trees more often
than he would have been had the
hunter who carried him been able to
see better.
BY and by the barking OF that dog
came from one place. and Unc' Billy
guessed that that dog had chased
some one up tree. He hoped IT
wasn't Mrs. Possum or one Of their
children. But he was afraid 1t was.
That worried him. 1t worried him
more than his own personal troubles.
After a while tho hunters reached
tho place VIII re the dog was barking.
Sure enough it was at the foot Of a
big tree. The dog kept leaping up at
the foot Of the tree. all the time
barking so fast and excitedly that
Unc' Billy wondered he had any voice
left.
The hunters became as excited as
the dog. They gathered around the
foot OF the tree and one of them
prepared to climb it. The one who
was carrying inc Billy tossed him
down on an old stump and Joined
the others. all of whom were staring
UP and trying to see who was in that
tree. Very. very slowly INC Billy
turned over onto his feet. No one
was watching him. without making
a sound he climbed down on the
back side Of that stump. then slowly
but silently stole away. AS soon as
he felt that 1t was safe to do SO he
ran. My, how he did run! For a
Possum as fat as Unc' Billy was he
certainly did travel. Tho hunters
had lost a Possum dinner, but they
didn't know 1t.
