This time he had better luck. and
in a short time he had caught seven
nice trout Then he stopped fishing.
Taking one of these trout, he hung
it on the same tree where he had
hung the trout the day before. Then
he went off a short distance and hid
where he could peep out and watch
that tree without himself being seen
by any one who might happen along
that way.
IF Lightfoot really likes trout he
will remember the treat he had yes

So Farmer Browns Boy made him
self comfortable and waited he
was very still there in the Green
Forest and the least little sound could
be heard quite distance. For long
time Farmer Browns Boy heard noth-
ing save the gurgle of the laughing
brook. 1t was as still there as il
there was no living thing near ex-

he stood with head held high and big
ears slightly forward to catch every
little sound. His antlers. which most
folks call horns, were about half
grown, and were in the velvet-that
is, they were covered with soft.
velvety skin
For a long time Lightfoot stood
motionless., It was plain that he was
suspicious. He. was looking and lis-
tenfng; and with his nose was testing
every merry, little breeze, that came
along. Finally he walked over to a
little clump of grass and took
mouthful, then threw up his head to
look and listen while he ate it. He
wandered back and forth, now and
then taking bite of grass. and all
the time drawing a little nearer to
the tree where hung that trout.
Once something startled him ana
with q bound he disappeared. But
he was not gone long. He was soon
back, uneasily wandering about and
drawing nearer and nearer to that
tree Perhaps you can guess how in

Boy was as he watched. and now he
almost held his breath lest Lightfoot
should become even more suspicious.
