Bright Eyes Watch Sammy
Jaw.
4 horrid thing il is to SPY
SO never. never. never try.
nId Nntfar M

Sammy Jay isn't the only one with
bright eyes. Oh. my. no. There are
many other bright eyes, and some of
these were watching Sammy Jay. one
pair belonged to Happy Jack SQuir-
rel. Another pair belonged to his
cousin, Chatterer. the Red Squirrel.
But you may be sure that neither
Happy Jack nor Chatterer allowed
Sammy Jay to know that he was be-
ing watched. They pretended to be
busy with their own affairs.
There is very little that such
bright eyes miss, and the very first
day that Sammy Jay had discovered
peanuts on the window shelf of
Farm Browns house Happy Jack
found something new in the way of
food. Now both of them knew
great deal about Sammy's ways. Both
knew that, like themselves, Sammy
they saw him flying from that win
dow shelf to different parts of the
Old Orchard, always with something
in his mouth, and then hurrying back
TO the window shelf. they knew that
ne was hiding the things he was get
ting from that shelf.
What do you suppose Sammy Jay
is getting?" said Happy Jack to Chat
terer.
Il haven't the least idea" replied
Chatterer. Whatever il is. he seems
TO think a lot of it. l mean to find
out what it is
so do t. replied Happy Jack IF
il is good for him II ought to be good
for US tell you what, you hunt in
one part Of the Old Orchard and I'll
hunt in another part Between US
we ought to find some of those things.
He thinks himself smart, but he isn't
as smart as he thinks he is"
So Happy Jack watched until he
saw Sammy with something in his
mouth fly over to certain apple tree.
In a moment Sammy was on his way
back to that window shelf with moth :
ing in his mouth. Happy Jack knew
then that he had hidden something
in that particular apple tree. Happy
Jack didn't go right over to that tree.
He went over to the next tree to it
and climbed that. After a while
when Sammy was somewhere over
! toward the Green Forest, Happy Jack
Jumped across into the next tree.
Then very carefully he went all over
that tree. Wherever a big branch
sprang out from the trunk he looked
in the crotch which II made. He ex-
amined every knothole.
Happy Jack looked for some time
without finding anything. He was
beginning to be discouraged. Then
he came to a crotch in which little
heap of snow had remained. He was

of the letters written by simple French
