Right at his heels somebody else stepped inside also. Perhaps l should say that somebody else jumped in- side. But they didn't make any noise about it. Farmer Browns Roy put down the food for the hons and started to look for eggs in the nest ing boxes. Just as he picked up the first egg the hens began making q great racket. Il was plain that they were badly frightened. Farmer Browns Boy looked up with such a queer. puzzled look on his face. What was wrong with those hens?
 Then he noticed down in a corn cr one hen not moving. He went 10 her at once. As he stopped over to pick her up he discovered that some one was holding her fast by teh neck. It was d very emaIl per son, but a very determined one. It was Shadow the Weasel. And it was clear that Shadow didn't intend to let go, even for such great big giant as Farmer Browns Boy.
 Farmer Browns Boy picked up the hen, and when he picked her up he picked Shadow up. too. Shadow was holding on to the hen. Farmer Browns Boy swung him against the side of the henhouse and then he dropped. But even then he did mt run away. Shadow is no coward. He arched his back and snarled and spat at Farmer Browns Boy and called him a robber and q thief, which is exactly what Farmer Browns Boy was calling him. Actually Farmer Browns Boy had hard work to chase Shadow out of that henhouse. But he got him out finally, and. then shut the door while he collected the rest Of the eggs. Then, with the eggs and the hen Shadow had killed, he went back 10 the house, He didn't see anything of Shadow, but Shadow was watch , ing him. And all the time Shadow was saying to himself. That's my hen, that's my hen." You see, in Shadows mind, he had just as much | right 10 one of those hens as he had ! to any one else he could catch.
 When he was sure that there was no chance for him to get another I hel he headed toward Farmer ! Browns barn, If cant have a 1 hen for breakfast I'll try a Rat, said he.
