Af- ter the boy had gone Jerry went to see what the boy had been do- ing. It didn't take Jerry long to discover that the stranger had been chiefly interested in such places as he and Mrs, Jerry and their children had been in the ha- bit o fusing as places of rest or on which to eat. This didn't make bim feel any more comfortable. Jerry went home and at the first spportunity when the children were gathered about he warned them.

'Because," sald one young Musk- rat, "the other day I climbed out on a log right in frgnt of him be- fore I saw him sitting on the bank and nothing happened. He didn't even try to catch me." "He wouldn's," replied Jerry, "as long as he didnt have a ter- rible gun, But he may try to catch you in a different way." "In what different way?" asked the young Muskrat.
