"Wliat waa the matter wlta your

covery. There were beechnuts In there !
And there were seeds t It was a store

must be Tlnuny's storehouse. I Right!
away he realised how very, very hun
gry he waa. Of course, be had no right
to any of those seeds or nuts. Cer
tainly not! That is, he wouldn't have
had any right had he been a boy or girl.
But It la the law of the Green Forest
that whatever sny one finds he may
help himself to If he can.
So Whltefoot began to fill his empty
little stomach with some .of those seeds.
He ate and ate and ate, and quite for
got all hla troubled. Just aa hs felt that
ha hadn't room for another seed he
heard the sound of claws outside on the
trunk of the tree. In a Cash he knew

Timmy was almost up to the entrance
ol that storehouse.
"HL there !" cried Timmy. "What were I
you doing la my storehouse?"
T 4 I waa looking for a new home," I
stammered Whitefoot , I
"Too mean you were stealing some of
my food." snapped Timmy suspiciously.
"I I did take a few seeds because
I was almost starred. But truly; I was
looking (or a now home," replied White-
foot. , -:l
"What waa tha matter with your old
home T demanded Timmy.
Then Whltefoot told Jimmy an about
how he had been obliged to leave his
old home because of Shadow the Weasel,
of tha terrible Journey he had had and
how h didnt know where to go or what
to do. Timmy listened suspiciously at I
first, but soon made up hla mind that
Whltefoot waa telling the truth. The
mere mention of 8hadow the Weasel
made him very sober. ! 1
He scratched his nose thoughtfully.
"Over In that tall, dead stump yea eaa
