Friar Tuck; Lucien Kerns, as Will

rafter where Spooky sat. He ventured
nearer and nearer to where Spooky
seemed to be asleep. Spooky didn't
move Jimmy watched him sharply.
Hes asleep" said Jimmy to him
self. 81 believe / could run right be-
tween his legs. 1t would be fun to just
nip him on the leg and then jump"
Jimmy moved little bit nearer.
He was very near Spooky now. And
then, looking down, he saw Mouse on
the grain bin. For just a second he
forgot where he was and leaned over
to watch that Mouse. 1t was a bad
time and he was in a bad place to be
forgetful You see. Spooky wasn't
asleep at all. He had been watching
Jimmy all the time. He had been
watching and waiting. His eyes had
been open just crack. but that crack
was enough. He had seen every move
Jimmy made. He saw Jimmy lean
forward to look at the Mouse away
down below. He didn't know what
Jimmy was looking at and he didn't
lean over to find out He was inter-
ested in Jimmy and in nothing else.
Now there was one thing that Tim
my hadn't noticed and this was that
Spooky was facing him. Usually
Spooky sat facing SO that he could look
GOWN over Tie cage OF TIE TaICcr. But
now he was turned so that he was
facing along the rafter instead of
across it. Perhaps if Jimmy had no.
ticed this he would have been a little
more careful
Just as Jimmy leaned over to watch
that Mouse down below, Spooky struck
quickly with one foot. My goodness,
how quickly that foot did move! But,
quickly as Spooky struck, Jimmy was
even quicker. Something must have
told him that he suddenly was in great
danger, for he shot off the rafter in a
long leap. The result was that all
Spooky's foot came down on was Tim
my fiat tail and there was nothing to
hold onto in this. It did spoil Timmy's
jump. for it held him for just long
enough to make him fall rather than
jump.
But fall was nothing serious with
Jimmy. He caught his balance and
hattened himself out and finally land
ed on the barn floor, instead of over on
the side of the barn as he had expected
to. 1t shook him up little, that was
all. However, he was frightened. He
was badly frightened Squirrel and he
was wiser one. Never again would
he try to tease Spooky the Owl.

In Farmer Browns barn. His favorite
perch was on a certain rafter high up
in the roof. Jimmy the Flying Squirrel
was also living in the barn Several
times Spooky had tried to catch Tim
my. but Jimmy had been too smart for
him. The result was that Jimmy had
grown overconfident. He had reached
the point of thinking that Spooky
couldn't catch him. Then he had be-
gun to tease Spooky. He woul jump
from a rafter and sail, as only he can
sail, right across below Spooky, and he
would do it in the most provoking way.
But after while Spooky refused to
be leased in this way This spoiled
Timmy's fun. Jimmy grew SO bold
that he began running out on the
