When at last Unc Billy Possum a-ot safely back to his hollow Area he knew. of course, that Sammy Jay and Blacky tne crow and Peter Rabbit were not crazy, aa he had so often said they were. Anyway, if they were whwhe must be himself, for hadn't he seen the very stranger Sammy and Blacky had told about? If Unc Billy couldn't believe what they said he felt sure he could believe his own eyes. He Just knew his own eyes couldn't fool hirn like that. ! It made Unc Billy shiver every time he thought of that stranger he had seen deep in the Green Forest by the pond of Paddy the .Beaver. He was so big!" And he had such great cruel looking claws! "Ah Ah hope he can't climb trees ! said Unc' Billy. ' Now Unc' Billy had spoken aloud, for he didn't know that any one was near. So he jumped almost out of his skin when a voice said:- i "Who is it you hope, can't climb trees, "UnC Billy?" Unc' Billy looked down to find his old friend Jimmy Skunk looking up at him. He hesitated a few minutes. He knew that Jimmy thought that Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow were crazy, or else were telling untrue atorles. and he didn't like to tell Jimmy what he had seen himself. You see he didn't want to be laughed at or thought crazy. But he felt that he had just got to tell some one, and so finally he told Jimmy Skunk all about It. Jimmy looked at Unc Billy very sharply, but Unc' Billy was so very much in earnest that Jimmy had to believe that Unc Billy really thought he had seen this terrible stranger. Jimmy never had heard' of such a stranger in the Green Forest. He couldn't quite believe there was one even after Unc Billy had said so, But he dldn t like to say so. You see Unc' Billy was an old friend, and he didn't want to hurt his feelings. -"I think I'll go up to the pond of Paddy the Beaver and see if I can see anything of this stranger," said Jimmy. "Ah wouldn't if Ah was yo'. Brer Skunk! 'Deed Ah wouldn't! Yo don.' know what he may do to yo" with those great claws. Mah goodness, Ah cer- t'nly does hope he can't climb trees!" Unc' Billy looked so anxious that Jimmy had to turn his head so as to hide a smile. "I'll go ask him if he climbs trees. and then I'll come let you know, Unc' Billy." said he. Now, line Billy knew that Jimmy Skunk is afraid of nothing and nobody unless it is Farmer Brown's boy when he has his terrible gun, but he also knew that Jimmy had never seen and had no idea of this great stranger who had given him such a fright, and he Couldn't beMeve that Jimmy would dare ask him any. questions. He watched Jimmy march off into the- Green For est and he grinned Just a little. "Brer Skunk never hurries, but Ah reckons i Ah'U see him hurry right smart If he meets up with that strang er," muttered Unc' Billy. Jimmy Skunk went on until he came to the . pond of Paddy the Beaver, which you know is deep in the Green Forest. Jimmy was tired and he sat down to rest. It was very still there. Paddy the Beaver'was nowhere to be seen. Neither was the stranger. Jimmy grew sleepy. He made up his mind that he would take a nap before, he looked any farther, and he started to find. a nice soft spot to curl up on when he heard a heavy step behind him. Jimmy whirled about, and there just coming out of the bushes was the stranger of whom Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow and Unc Billy Pos sum, had told, and he was Just as big and .just 'as black and had just such great cruel claws as they had said. "I don't know who you are, but I'm very glad to meet you,", said Jimmy Skunk politely. Next story "Peter Rabbit Hard Work to Believe His Eyes." Has.
