They picked out small clearing brushed away

Dry wood was easy to find. for the snow

Stubby had thought his supply of buns and

THE three boys turned their jaws dropping

rough-looking man, dressed in dirty monde

The boys Strengthened up as he advanced

licking his lips hungrily.
"But look here" Bill protested, whats the

Who are you?"
The man wheeled on Bill with snarl of

Bill flushed with anger. He glanced long

three boys had hung on a tree branch to keep

"Oh, no, you won't" he said firmly.
The rufian leaped. His heavy fist caught

melted in a roughly circular spot.
With the other boys beside him, he walked
up and examined the spot. On the ground,
directly in front 6f small partly burned log
were the embers of fire. Several pieces of
wood were only half burned, and it was evident
that the falling snow had eventually extin-
guished the blaze, after being melted for a
time by the heat.
Bill pushed the emberS with the toe of his
boot Then he bent closer and peered intently
at the ground
Look, fellows he cried. Chicken bones!"

Just over the edge of the brook bank he saw

held it up triumphantly.
Here's what he used to heat the water in"
he went ON.
And after he had the bird cleaned" George
haZarded, "he roasted it over this fire. Or
maybe he Stewed it in the can"
Then he went away and didn't put his fire
clear out, Bill went on. Probably it was
showing by that time, SO he didn't bother. The
snow melted for while on the warm ground,
but it finally put the fire out before those
sticks were entirely burned. That explains
how thin the snow is here"

Stubby why should he 90 to all that

Evidently this didn't" replied Bill.
Probably he was just tramp, and he must
have been pretty hungry for he didn't waste
any time about making his meal after he left
the farm house. He built fire as soon as he
got into the shelter of the woods If that
farmer had seen the blaze, our chicken thief
