And these are my hens

hen thieves! And these are my hens
in this bag!"
BY this time Farmer Brown, who had
also been awakened, had come out to
see what was going on. Together they
inspected the henhouse. There on the
floor lay two other bags-empty. They
examined the lock on the door and
found it broken. Then they understood
exactly what had been going on.
Those thieves must have been fright
ened in the middle Of their work." de-
clared Farmer Brown; They Just
dropped everything and ran. II they
hadn't been frightened, you would have
lost all your hens. What I don't UNI
derstand is what frightened them"
Meanwhile Farmer Browns Boy was
busy getting the hens out OF the bag
and counting them. He counted them
two or three times, until he was sure
that not hen was missing. Then, and
not till then, he began to wonder also
what had frightened the thieves away,
and also to wonder where Jimmy Skunk
came into the affair.
AS he looked around outside the hem
yard, Jimmy suddenly appeared. He
walked over to Farmer Browns Boy
and shifted at his feet. Then he ambled
along about his business. 1t came to

side the chicken yard where that bag
of hens had been than anywhere else
And then he guessed the truth.
ut was Jimmy Skunk" he cried
"The fellow who brought that bag OF
hens out here must have met Jimmy
and probably tried to drive him away
Jimmy did the rest. If know any
thing about it, Jimmy Skunk saved my
hens for me. Yes, sir. Jimmy Skunk
saved my hens. I don't believe there's
the least bit Of doubt about 1t. II we
can ind any fellows smelling OF Skunk
anywhere around the country, we'll find
the chicken thieves. Anyway, ! don't
believe Well be bothered by thieves
again very soon. Phew, that smell is
awful! But I guess We can stand II
as long as our hens are saved"
They locked up the hens once more
| as best they could and returned to the
house to finish their nights sleep. The
| next morning Farmer Browns Boy went
! looking around. He knew those thieves
must have come in an automobile. He
knew that they probably had parked
| it short distance away. BY and by
he found the place. BY the side OF the
road was an old coat. Also, there was
the odor of Jimmy Skunk so strong
that it was almost choking. 1t came
from that old coat. Farmer Browns

anyway" said he, and, picking up the
old coat, carried it over into the field
to bury it.

Farmer Browns Boy pulled on his
trousers and coat and rushed out to
the henhouse. The air was so filled with
that dreadful scent of Jimmy Skunk's
that 1t almost strangled him. The hens
were cackling and making great fuss
and Farmer Browns Boy fully expected
to find Jimmy in the henhouse eating
one Of those hens. You see, he was too
excited to do any real thinking. Had
he done any real thinking, he would

the fact that the henyard gate was
wide open wasn't noticed by him at all.
But when he reached the henhouse and
found the henhouSe door wide open,
he had to notice that. 1t came to him
then that he had taken special pains
to lock that door. 1t was dark. He
realized that he must have light if
he would see what had been done. So
back to the house he raced for a lantern.
