He knows full well what he can do and what he cannot do. and it Jul seldom that he wastes time trying To do a thing that It is at all . doubtful that he can do. When Buster discovered those sleeping Geese tat the pond of Paddy the Beaver " he understood at once what had brought Towler the Boh Cat over there that night He knew all about Towler and his way a He knew that Towler had far more patience than 'he had. He knew ' that Yowler would watch hours at a time to catch . a good dinner. . : .The scent of those Geese made Bus ter's mouth water Just as it had the mouths of Towler and Old Man Coyote and-Reddy and Mrs. Fox and old tlrahny Fox. He wanted one of them. He wanted one of them very much In deed. But he knew that his chances of catching one were not nearly as good as ; the chances., of Towler the Bob . Cat - Buster can move quickly when he wants to, but Yowler can move much more ouickly. Boater's small eyes twinkled shrewd ly as he stood tip to look over the pond. and In the moonlight saw those big - birds sleeping. "They are safe enough ; where -they are now," thought he. "There will be ho chance to catch one tinleas they drift in close to shore.

Paer grinned. "He beat it out nd got fn, his car with the big sign on It tellin who he was "nd chased off to catch up with where Foch 'nd Ben was gettln all the hand clappin' 'nd the pictures 'nd then the cops or somebody wouldn't let him get In line." i "Mercy t" M said In horror. "They didn't have a parade without George in it. did they?" "Just that" T. Paer answered solemn ly. "George had to get back with the citizens on foot nd in flivvers 'nd lis ten to 'em whoop it up while the main guys np to the head of the line went by." "That was a shame." Ma said earnest ly, "hd George liking to be where the whooping is so much, too." "He couldn't stand it all the way," T. Paer chuckled. "So be ducked out 'nd beat it for the hotel ahead of Ben 'nd Foch." -f. r "But he got a hand there, didn't he?" Ma asked. -FNd aTJ the picture men was at the hotel wmitin, anyway, wasn't theyr - "They was nothln dote' there," T. Paer told her. "Everybody was lookm' for the general 'nd the picture hoys was all walUn to shoot him 'nd savin' their ammunition for the big son." i ; "But J should thought they'd of rec ognized George," Ma objected, "hinij be ing the mayor of the city 'nd big like he ta." "I guess that's what made him so mad," T. Paer answered. "Polly says he bawled 'em oat proper when be got a chance at em." "George sorely didn't say anything to General Foch about it?" Ma said, in as tonishment "He didn't have anything to do with It, did her j "Not to him," T. Paer answered. Trat he sure panned the fellahs that run the parade, PoQy ays." "What was the good of panning 'em?" Ma asked. "They ain't no use of cryl Ins- over anilt milk." I ' I "It wasn't spilt milk tha was troub Un George," T. Paer grinned, "but it wail not be In' up where the hurrahs 'nd the cameras was that got his goat"; "Well." Ma 'said with firm conviction In her tones, "somebody must of framed it on George." I "Framed it?" T. Paer repeated. "Where'd you get that idea?" "Beause." Ma answered. "I don'tj be lieve nothln'd everve shut George I out of a parade if somebody hadn't of." Buster Bear "They are safe enough- where they V . j;-,fX9 now," thought he. can spring swiftly. Towler can do Just that He Is the one to catch one of those .Geese. I'll leave! It for him to do. VQ pretend to go off and then he'll come down from that tree and watch those Geese. If he catches one I'll have a good dinner with no trouble at all ; m simply take that Goose away from Towler." ' ; r Buster chuckled to himself, sniffed once or twice, then dropped down to all four and shuffled away through j the wooda He didn't take any pains not to make a noise. Honker the Goose heard him, for Honker is a light sleeper. He awoke and listened for a Few minutes. He "knew by the sound that whoever had been there waa going away. He looked his flock over and saw that all were there. Then he went to sleep again, satisfied that no nam could reach any I of them out there In the water. Yowler the Bob i Cat heard Buster leave. He listened sharply as the sound of Buster's shuffling feet grew fainter and fainter and finally ceased. Then Yowler came down from the .tree ha had climbed at Buster's approach, ij 'He snarled under his breath as he glanced la the direction In which Buster had dis appeared. Then he turned his attention to those Geese and In a few minutes had forgotten Buster Bear and everything else. You see, it seemed to him that the nearest Goose waa drifting in a little. Towler crouched flat and prepared for a long, patient wait.,,, Meanwhile Buster Bear had gone off about other business. "It will be a long time before any of those Geese come in near enough to be caught" he muttered. "Yes. sir, it will be a long tilme. I'll have plenty of time to get a lunch of aorons." --. . ' So Buster hunted up some acorns and had a very good lunch. After this he Bitently stole back toward the pond of Paddy, the Beaver. You know, be can move very .quickly i Indeed when he wants to. Some little distance back from the pond Buster stopped. . He didtft want Yowler to suspect he was about ! He know that if Yowler should catch one of those Geese be could not carry ruch a great, heavy bird far or fast and there would be do trouble in catching up with Towler and taking that Goose from him. i : A crafty eld fellow Is Buster Bear.t !
