her sister could have an excuse for

He strode in, tall and handsome,

Before Sylvia could comment she
saw Vera, and paled. Never had she
seen her sister look so seductively
charming. A close e-ftting robin's-egg-

Sylvia could not help admiring her

She who had scorned stamps now
called them "the darlingest things"
Sylvia, however, preferred to keep her

AT last Unc' Billy reached the part
Of the old stone wall nearest to the
henyard. In fact, it was only a very
short distance from the old wall over
to the henhouse. Unc' Billy climbed
up on the wall. He could see into the
henyard. The hens were not in there.
They were outside running about.

y vNC' BILLY POSSUM was chick
en- hungry. Yes, sir, Unc' Billy
Possum was chicken hungry.
~ He gets that way sometimes.
don't know that we should blame
him, for guess you know a lot Of peo-
pie who get chicken hungry now and
then. I do. So why should we blame
Unc' Billy or any Of the other little
people of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows for getting chicken
hungry once in while?
Now Unc' Billy was living in the
Green Forest, of course. Unc' Billy
Is one Of the people who are most at
home in the Green Forest. He doesn't
live very far in the Green Forest be-
cause he likes to be near enough to
visit Farmer Browns garden and
farmyard oncs in q while. Now, Of
course, the nearest place for Unc' Billy
to get a chicken dinner WIS at Farmer
Browns. The only trouble was that
Farmer Browns boy had a way Of
shutting the chickens up before dark,
so there was no way Of getting
one of them unless he could find an
opening into that henhouse, and he
tried a good many times without find
ing one.
So Unc' Billy knew that II he
wanted to get chicken dinner he
would have to catch a chicken in
broad daylight or else he would have
to get into that chicken house before
it was closed for the night. He had
done that trick once or twice before.
Unc' Billy is very fond Of eggs and he
had had a feast Of eggs in that very
henhouse. Also he had been caught
there by Farmer Browns Boy. Had it
been any one but Farmer Browns Boy
it might have gone hard with Unc'
Billy. AS it was, he was kept q pris-
oner for a while and he didn't like 1t.
Unc' Billy tried to forget chicken.
He tried to forget, but he couldn't.
You know when you really want to
forget a thing you really think Of it
the more. The very best way to re-
member thing is to try to forget it..
So Unc' Billy couldn't forget those
chickens, and the first thing he knew
he found himself right up on the
edge of the Green Forest nearest to
Farmer Browns henyard.
"Ah don't know how All got here
No, sub, All don't know how All got
here. Nah feet just brought me here.
It's all their fault" said Unc' Billy.
Unc' Billy peered out from the edge
of the Green Forest. 1t was well
along in the afternoon. Unc' Billy
looked this way. Unc' Billy looked
that way. He could see no one. He
crept out to the old stone wall along
one edge Of the Old orchard. He
shuff1ed along close to the old wall
and under cover of the bushes grow
ing along there. Now and then he
stopped to look and listen. He felt

with seven to nine smooth edged
finger-hke lobes. All Spring and
Summer they are a deep, rich green,
but in Autumn they turn russell
shade and often hang on all Winter.
They are rose colored in earliest
Spring.
The Winter buds may easily be seen.
They are round and smooth, growing
at the tips of the twigs in clusters.
In May, when they unfurl into either
staminate fringed clusters of flowers
or catkins in tight little demure
clusters of pistillate flowers, the
rosy leaves will be about one-third
grown.
The acorns will be found where
the female (pistillate) flowers ap-
peared in early Spring and they ma
ture during the early Fall Of their
first year. That is why you do not see
acorns on the white oak during the
Winter.
The acorn Is a glossy brown nut,
about three-fourths of an inch long,
set in a shallow cup which Is an
chored to the twig by a short stem.
Many mammals enjoy the sweet flavor
of the nut and this accounts for the
wide distribution of the white oak.
Our forefathers learned from the In
dians the best way to prepare the nut
for food and gathered bushels of them
for Winter use.
The white oak does not have many
enemies. The worst is fire and the
oak timber Of pin worm destroys
valuable timber. The gypsy moth and
the twig pruner do much damage in
some parts of its range.
Because of its deep taproot, the
white oak Is difficult to transplant,
but it does well In the city because of
this strong taproot. It is much loved
as o lawn or park tree. Its lumber
has uniform strength and b very
durable. It is used for furniture. floors,

A little later Farmer Browns Boy
would drive them all back into the
henyard and then finally into the hem
house, where he would lock them up
for the night.

Unc' Billy. Yes, sub, All reckon All
could get into that henhouse without
being seen. AhW just climb that
fence and hide in the darkest corner
in that house. Tonight Ah'u have

Unc' Billy's mouth watered and he
licked his lips. It seemed to him that
he Just couldn't wait. Then Unc'
Billy had thought. Perhaps he could
find an egg in that henhouse. If he
could find an egg it would be easier
to wait for that chicken dinner. Unc'
Billy made ready to leave the old
stone wall and climb the fence Of the
chicken yard.
