fear him. In other words he believes
himself smarter than man and there
fore able to keep out Of harm from
him. He has some reason to feel this
way, for no one has been hunted
more by man than has he, and no
one has had to be more constantly on
watch for traps. Despite this he is
still living comfortably, and making
others uncomfortable.
Now Old Man Coyote makes it his
business to keep his eyes open at all
times to see what is going on among
his neighbors. Because of this habit
he has secured many good dinners
that otherwise he would have missed
OF course, he knew that Honker and
his flock we're in the pond of Paddy
the Beaver. Everybody in that part
Of the Green Forest knew 1t. 1t was
no secret. knowing this, Old Man
Coyote made 1t his business to keep
watch Of those Geese.
1T probably will be of no use,"
said he to himself, "for Honker is as
smart as any one I know, but one
never can tell. Something may hap
pen to cause some of those younger
Geese to be careless. and that may
give me q chance. I certainly would
like one for dinner" He licked his
lips as his mouth watered at the
mere thought.
So. Old Man Coyote was watching
while Honker the Goose and Flat
horns the Moose were telling each
other Of the terrible experiences they
had had with hunters. He saw the
Evening star., 1936-12-12

members of Honker's flock gradually
draw nearer to the shore where Flat
horns and Honker were. Old Man
Coyote grinned, for those big birds
were forgetting to look around. Mrs.
Honker wasn't with them. Had she
been she wouldn't have forgotten. She
was over near the house of Paddy the
Beaver. Mrs. Paddy was sitting on
the roof They were old friends.
Old Man Coyote carefully tested
the wind to find out from which di-
rection it was blowing. He wanted
to make sure that his scent would
not be carried to Flathorns, who
would be sure TO give warning. Then
Old Man Coyote moved quickly but
cautiously. He moved without O
sound. At times he fiattened himself
on the ground and dragged himself
along to keep under cover. He was
trying to reach q point where he
would be as near as possible to where
these geese were likely to be, and
at the same time to remain hidden.
He wanted to get there before the
geese were close III so that he would
not have to risk drawing their atten-
ton by moving.
He reached the last hiding place
without being discovered. Slowly the
geese drifted in nearer and nearer.
He tremDled with excitement. Would
some of them come out on the shore?
He might catch one in the shallow
water, but it would be easier and he
would be more sure Of his leap If his
victim was on the shore. The big
birds stopped moving in. 1t was tan
talizing. Yes, sir, it was tantalizing.
They were almost near enough but
not quite. The only one on shore
was Honker, and he was too far away
and too near FIathorns. 80 Old Man
Coyote waited.
At last one of the young geese
swan in until he could put his feet
down and stand in the shallow water.
Not once did he turn his head to
look for possible danger. He was too
intently watching Honker and Flat
horns to think Of anything else. At
last, Honker's story being finished,
the Young Goose moved. He began
to move toward the others. Old Man
Coyote saw this movement the in
slant it started. 1t was now or never

leaped again for that young Goose.
