to get one Of them. "My dear" said he to Mrs. Lightfoot. i've must never for one little minute he careless. Someone must be on watch wiih nose and eyes and ears all the time. We must at all times keep together"
 Who is Puma the Fanthcr?" ask cd one Of the twins, her big soft eyes full of curiosity,
 Puma the Panther is the worst enemy that deer have, except those two-lcgged creatures with terrible Gnns,' explained Lightfoot. Puma is soft-footod and moves in the black shadows. It is difficult to know when h" is ahout. You will need 10 use your eyes end yoW nose and your ears as you never have used them before; and we must hop" that gentle Sister South Wind will come soon and melt away inc snow. Not until We can move freely will We be even reasonably safe from Puma tho Panther"
 When we were little" said one Of the twins. "Mothcr used 10 frichtcn us with stories of YowIer the Bohcat, but you never seemed 10 fear Yowler. Is Puma the Panther more 10 be feared than Yowlcr, or than Tpfty tho TynX?"
 Iightfoot shivercd and the two young deer saw him. l. was then that fear really took possession Of them. "Yes," said bo. "I do not fear Yowler the Lynx. for only if they caught me in deep snow would they attempt to harm me, because I am fully grown. But Puma the Panther is 10 be feared at all times, even by one as big as I. l wish he hadn't come 10 the Green Forest. Now, re- member children, we must stay to- rnther and each must watch out for the other"
 So it was that fear came to the yard of Lightfoot the Deer. They had 10 eat. for without food they could not live. but their appetites were small and always while three ate, one kept watch. At the snap ping of a twig they would bound away In fright When they slept. one kent watch and none slept well. Day ! by day I.ightfoot anxiously watched , the snow 10 scc if it were disap. bearing. And when he felt gentle Sister South Wind blow in his face he rojoiccd. for hc knew that she would melt the snow. Those were noi i happy days in inc yard of LiFhtfoo' Ithe Deer,

 Of course, the yard of Lightfoot the Deer was nothing like what you and I call a yard. IL was simply a great number of paths crossing and recrossing in all directions and kept troddcn down so that Lightfoot and Mrs. Lightfoot and the two young Lightfoots could move about freely despite the deep snow. These paths led to supplies of food. To get out of those paths would be to be helpless in tho deep snow.
