were other hollows of which he knew.
Suddenly, aimlessly, he wandered
sbout. He had nothing in particular
to do, and he did it in the way of
inost lazy people. He didn't even
look for place to sleep. So the day
passed, and late in the afternoon he
found himself in the neighborhood of
the big nest in the oak tree where
Mrs. Happy Jack had made her home
with the four babies ever since they
were born. She never had allowed him
to enter that home. Now that she had
left it. taking the children with her,
he had chance to see what it was

Cautiously he looked this way and

Suddenly he was awakened. His eyes

There it was again. It sounded like
claws on bark!
Happy Jack held his breath and his
heart went pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat with
fright and dread. Some one was
climbing that tree. There was no
doubt about it now. He could hear

nearer and nearer. What did it
mean? Whose claws were they?
What should he do? Mere fright

Then abruptly the matter was

being torn open. Happy Jack was
crouched close to the doorway. He
waited no longer. He dashed Out

If the blockade includes United

CONFLICT "UNoFFIC1AL"
Until a state of war is officially
determined, authoritative quarters
insisted the United States cannot
recognize or tolerate a Japanese

But If the blockade is enforced
the conflict would be lifted out of

United States, it is believed, would
be forced to invoke the neutrality
act.
