Lightfoot. Il wonder at that myself
We do those two-legged creatures no
harm, yet for short time at this sea-
son OF the year they seem possessed of
a madness and hunt us with their
terrible fire For the rest of the
year they are not to be feared. 1 do
not understand it,"
Why do they not hunt us here in
this part of the Green Forest?" asked
Slimlegs.
This, too, was a question that Mrs
Lightfoot couldn't answer. All she
could tell him was that year after year
she and Lightfoot and the other
people living there had found that,
even in the midst of the hunting sea-
son, they were safe there. Once or twice
hunters had appeared there, but they
had been driven away by Farmer Brown
and Farmer Browns Boy. OF course,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lightfoot couldn't read,
otherwise they would have known that
certain signs posted here and there
warned all hunters not to come on
that land
Two more Deer, strangers to Slim
legs, joined them there in the Green
Forest. That is. they came down to the
Green Forest to stay. They kept by
themselves. and Lightfoot made no
attempt to drive them out. He knew
what had brought them there. He knew
that somehow they had learned that
there they were safe through the
hunting season. and he knew that
when the hunting season was over
they would return whence they had
come.
AS the days went by Slimlegs got
over his great fright. He no longer
jumped at the sound Of distant gun.
That is, he may have jumped inside.
but not enough to show it.
The days grew colder. Jack Frost
came every night. There were fur
ries of snow. 1t was the beginning of
Winter. No longer were the dreadful
guns heard even in the distance. The
hunting season was over. Lightfoot
and Mrs. Lightfoot both knew il.
They no longer took such pains TO
keep from being seen by men. So far
as the latter were concerned they
were safe for another year. And so
long as they remained in that part of
the Green Forest they were safe from
all enemies, for Buster Bear would
soon be asleep for the Winter, and
Puma the Panther was far away on
the Green Mountain.

Bedtime Stories
Safe at Last

allowed in that part of the Green
Farmer Brown, and it was there that
they were now resting. They knew
that there they were safe from hunt
ers with terrible guns, and so when
far in the distance they heard the
sound of a gun they merely pricked
up their ears for a moment and then
gave 1t no further attention.
But to Slimlegs the sound of gun,
even though so far away that it hardly
could be heard. brought sudden feel
ing of terror which made him tremble
all over. He had seen what one of
those terrible guns could do and the
memory of it he would never lose. He
had seen great Deer, as big and
handsome and strong as his father,
Lightfoot, suddenly stricken down,
seemingly by the flash and crack of
what his parents called fire-stick in
creatures called men. The dreadful
ness of 1t he couldn't get over. He
talked about it with his mother.
Does the fire-stick always kill?"
asked Slimlegs.
His mother shook her head sadly.
NO" said she. Sometimes it breaks
a leg. Sometimes it makes a terrible
wound, and the one hit suffers for a
long time"
How far can it hurt?" asked Slim
legs.
"A long distance" was the best an
SWer that his mother could make.
What do they want to kill US for?"
asked Slimlegs.
Il don't know" confessed Mrs.

Natures Children

TN THE Southern part of the Gulf
States the Mobile terrapin attains
a length of IA inches. He is dis
u tinguished by globular formation
OF the front shell. He Is snowy and
displays a scarlet band on each side
of his head.
He is member Of the Semi-aquatic
clan. And though ne loves the water,
he also is very fond of basking in the
sunshine, midstream, where escape is
always possible. You can always tell
a terrapin by the broad, flattened shell,
and in most cases they are smooth.
All four feet are webbed and each
toe is furnished with a long, sharp
claw. for they do much of their de-
fense work by kicking. Remember
this when capturing one.
They are. of course. expert SWIM
mers. You will find these creatures
along the borders of streams, ponds,
brooks and rivers. There are a few
members of this family who prefer
salt marshes.

Curiosity soon prompts one to poke
out the head to see what the situation
is and if an object comes too close
the raZorlike mandibles bite down with
lightninglike swiftness. So quickly
does the terrapin snap he has often
taken a chunk out of his own Leg If
he misses his target, you can hear the
angry click as his jaws come together.
In the water he is a fierce hunter.
TadpoleS may escape, but they are
usually tailless, and so also is the fate
of small fish. They only gain a few
moments more in which to fear their
foes; for, rudderleSS, they fall easy
prey to the hunter, that is always one
lap behind them.
Terrapins are passionately fond of
earthworms. When they see one dang
ling from hook they toss discretion
to the winds and go after the wriggly
one. Once they have clamped down
on their juicy morsel, they will not

His disgust can hardly De described
when he finally discovered what was

Very young members of the family

them easily and they enjoy being star

We'll, to get on, boys, we've got to

There was a silence.
III call the department store man

Ak things with him. There'll be no rap

I'm on this desk"
The reporter and police officer looked
at McGurk in admiration.
I'll break the story" Blake said
after a short pause. Right now and
strictly a human interest blotter epi-

for shoplifting. That'l do the trick.
Maybe the department store will give
her few gowns for the privilege of
having her lift things in their place
of business. And maybe she'll get
week or SO in the local vaudeville
theater if everything goes all right"
the reporter added.
WHILE Perfect was in her lonely
w cell, McGurk and Blake worked.
The manager of the department store
ordered several of the best gowns sent

to put her up indefinitely and see to it

a start again.
! The episode was over. McGurk and

discussing the strange event.
1T might have happened to you or
to me as well as any one else in the
world McGurk suggested philosoph-
ically.
Just a blotter episode, eh, Mac?"
Blake remarked, tossing his cigarette
on the floor and stamping it out with
his foot. Just blotter epiSode!"
McGurk adjusted the glasses that
inevitably slid down over his too fat
nose and grinned slightly.
