Buster Finds a Queer House.
I think this much to all is clear:
That which is strange is also queer.
Buster Bear

It was after the second time that
Buster Bear had discovered hunters in
the woods that he bscame curious.
Having escaped from them with such
ease, he had less respect for their abil-
ity. So it was that one day when he
discovered two men, whom he took to- be
two hunters, in the woods, he followed
them at safe distance, taking great
care that they should not know he was
following them. He was curious to find
out what they were about. They were
long way from the farm where the
pigs lived. so Buster didn't once think
of them as having anything to do with
the pigs
At a certain place, which Buster rec
ognized as one which he had frequently
visited. they took off their coats and
went to work with axes. They chopped
down several trees and then chopped
them into logs. Buster wondered what
it was all about. But he had seen men
cutting wood to burn, so he didn't think
much about it. BY and by these two
men began to pile these logs up, and
they did it in very particular way.
Buster drew nearer that he might see
better.
1T looks as if they are building a
little house" thought Buster. 'Yes, sir,
I bIldb y WIlaG IL looks ike. wow, WIIdC
can they be building house for out
here? I don't understand it at all"
The men kept right on with their
work. They built up two sides and one
end. The other end they left open.
When the walls were high enough to
suit them they made fiat roof. And
still they left one end open.
When the roof was finished they
built out of logs a sliding door, or
rather a falling door, though Buster
didn't know this. When this door was
in place the front end Of the little
house was still open. But that falling
door had been so arranged that when
certain stick inside the little house
and at the back was touched the door
would drop in place.
Toward night the two men shoul-
dered their axes and started for home.
Buster followed them long enough to
make sure that they were really leav-
ing the woods When he was satisfied
that this was the case he went back to
look at that queer little house.
At first he sat down at safe dis
