for Bowser hadn't seen this one at
all. AS he thought this Farmer
Browns Boys pride began to feel
better. Then came another thought
so suddenly that he stopped short.
81 wonder if that coyote knew where
that trap was and led Bowser into
it purposely," he said, IL do. be-
heve he did" His pride now felt
worse than before.
Never mind, Bowser, old fellow,
well get him yet" he said, STOPPING
to pat Bowser's head.
Now, of course, BoWSer was
obliged to go very slowly because
he could use only three legs, and
then he had to stop every little
while to lick the one which had
been hurt in the trap. So Farmer
Browns Boy had plenty Of time for
thinking. At first his anger at Old
Man Coyote grew and grew. Then,
little by little, it gave way to feel
ing something very like admiration.
He had to admit to himself that
Old Man Coyote had been smarter
than he. By and by he admitted it
to Bowser.
1--WE thought We were pretty
smart, didn't We, old fellow?" said
he. But that coyote fooled us both,
and ! believe he planned to lead you
into that trap. He's pretty smart.
Yes, sir, we've got to take our hats
of to him. ] wish now hadn't set
those traps again, because If he was
smart enough to keep out OF them
once he'll be smart enough to keep
out of them again. Does your paw
hurt dreadfully, Bowser?"
Bowser looked up and whined.
There was no doubt that his paw was
very, very. sore. Now. Farmer
Browns Boy loves Bowser, and he
couldn't bear to see him hurt. When
they reached home he very tenderly
bathed the hurt paw and bound 1t
up. And while he was doing it he
was still thinking hard, perhaps
even a little harder than before. He
was thinking what it must be Like to
one of the little wild people to be
caught in one of those traps and to
have, besides the pain, the terrible
fright of not being able to get away
and of what would happen. Some
how he thought of those traps In .
new light. They became to him
what they really are - dreadful
things.
"Bowser," said he as he finished
tying the last bandage, i wish
hadn't set those traps, and ] am

them up the first chance ] get"

whose home is in airports from coast

line officials between New York and

The cat, a furry black and white
youngster, appeared at the Fort

Someone said il came from Mem

seen il in Los Angeles.
Animals are regular riders on the

Shortly after its first visit here the
cat showed up in New York.
Three days later it was snoozing
peacefully in the airport managers

he had taken such great pains and
had hidden them so skillfully that
he had been absolutely sure that it
would be impossible for Old Man
Coyote to get out of his house with
out stepping in one Of them. He
had been very proud of the way he
had set those traps. So when he
found that Old Man Coyote had

He knew by the way one of the

out that it had not been luck that
