places in which to find safety, and so
could be hunted with little chance to
get away. Yes, they were having
good time, those hunters.
But how about Jerry Muskrat?
Poor Jerry! There was a very great
difference in the feelings of Jerry
and those of the hunters. The very
thing which was giving them 50
much pleasure was filling Jerry with
terror which was the more dread
full because it was hopeless. Jerry
had been hunted before. He had
been hunted in the Smiling Pool.
When he was q little chap he had

idea of how dreadfully tired he was
or how his poor lungs ached. Long
after it seemed as if he simply must
go to the surface for new breath
he would keep on. Then there would
be barely time to hastily gulp new
breath when a bullet would spat
close to him and he would have to
dive. There was no time to rest.
The hopelessness of 1t all came
from the fact that Jerry had no
place to 60. You know he was out
over the flooded Green Meadows and
until he could reach the dry land
and there seek hiding place he

had more than one narrow escape
from Hooty the Owl and from Reddy
Fox. He had known what it was to
be hunted by boys with terrible guns.
But always he had had places OF
safety to which to 60. Always he
had had the feeling that it was his
wits against the wits of those who
hunted him, and though he had
known fear it had been very diff
ferent fear from this hopelessness.
The hunters knew that Jerry was
getting tired because after each dive
the length of time he stayed under
water was shorter, but they had no

You would have only needed to
look at the faces of those two hunt
ers, the one with the rifle and the
one rowing, to know that they were
having good time. This was what
they called good sport" It was ex-
citing. Because they were using a
rifle with single bullet instead of a
shotgun with many shot they con-
sidered that they were very sports
manlike and minded. Yet they
rejoiced in this great flood because
it had driven Jerry and others of his
relatives out of their homes and
hiding places, 10 that they had no

must keep coming to the surface for
air. He is not like Grandfather
Frog, who can stay down as long as
he wants to. It was because they
knew this that the hunters kept
right after Jerry. They knew that
sooner or later he would become SO
tired out that he would be helpless.
But Jerry didn't intend to give up
without doing his very best to es-
cape So he kept on and on even
after it seemed that he couldn't 60

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Crack! That was the little rifle
in the hands of the hunter who sat
in the bow of the boat. Spat! That
was the bullet striking the water so
close to the head of Jerry Muskrat
that it could hardly have been much
closer without hitting Jerry.
Almost got him that time!" cried
the hunter. He's getting tired.
Every time he comes up he's little
nearer. I ought to have got him that
time when he was sitting on the log.
Stop rowing now, so that I can be
ready for him when he comes up.
Ha, there he Isl" Crack! Spat!
