ways that led 10 the winter quarters
Of several squirrel families. But they
were too small for Fatty to enter.
Into each he thrust a paw, In the
hopo of pulling out something or
other, much as Little Jack Horner
pulled out plum-though you may
be sure Fatty Coon had never heard
Of that young man.
Fatty had no luck at all. Not
having had his supper, lie began to
feel quite peeyish. And when at last
he came To a bigger hole high up In a
tree trunk he was very angry be-
cause 1t wasn't quite his size. He
could tell by looking at 1t that he
wouldn't be able to squeeze inside 1t.
So he did the next best thing. He
plunged in a paw and one shoulder
and felt all about.
There's nothing In here" he
grunted, 'or IL there Is, | can't reach
1t"
At that instant something--or

And Fatty Coon squealed with pain.

than ever.
IF this is a squirrel, 1t must be
a monstrous big one" Fatty thought.
At last he felt that he could endure

voice replied, which sounded all the

Fatty Coons heart sank. IT wasn't
a squirrel that was holding him. 1t
was Solomon Owl himself!
Il say, Mr.. Owl!' Fatty called.
Please let me go! ! don't believe

Mocking laughter greeted this
speech.

But Fatty Coon did not stop TO

Fatty Coon was always ready 70

the squirrel there, that suited him
because he would just as soon dine on
a squirrel as anybody else. or II
the squirrel was lucky enough TO be
cut, that loo suited Fatty--so long as
the squirrel had store Of nuts in his
house. For Fatty Coon would just

In this way as much as In any,
he was like his very distant cousin,
Cuffy Bear. lie was ready TO eat any
sore of fare he could find.
In another way he was like the
