Alt*, that It ahouM b* jo »ar* To fine a huntar who I* fair. —Jerry Mu»kr»t. The Unfair. Hunters. Jerry Muakrat, eltting forlorn, mis erable nntl frightened on a little plat form of trash that hod caught In a crotch of a tree Juet at the level of the water which hod flooded tht Oreen Mpadows, caught eight of something moving over the water In the distance. At first he couldn’t make out what It was. You see It was too far away. As It drew nearer It grew bigger. Then his heart gave a little Jump of fright. He knew what It was. It was a boat. Jerry had been down to the Big River ami had seen boats there. Ho knew that boats were used by those dreadful, two legged creatures called men. Anxiously Jerry watched that boat draw nearer and nearer. He could That boat was going to pass at a little distance If it kept on the way it waa headed. gee two men In It. One of them wee rowing that boat. The other waa sitting In the forward part of that IfOat with something acroa# hla knaea. Juat what that aomethlng waa Jerry didn't know. It wouldn't havo made him feel any better If he had known. It waa a terrible gun! Jerry remained motlonlese. He felt that that waa the safest thing to do. That boat waa going to pass at a little distance If It kept on tha way It waa headed. Not once did Jerry take hla eyea from It. It waa almost paat when It stopped. Then It turned to ward Jerry and began to come on very, very elowly. The hunter In the boat had seen Jerry. Poor Jerry! He wee lightened al most to death. He didn't know what to do. He had been hunted before at tha imiUng Pool, but alwaya there had been safe hiding placag. Now he had nowhera to go. He eaw tha hunt er alowly raise the terrible gun. Then Jerry plunged Into the water. He did It Juat In time. There was a hang from that terrible gun. But the hunt er had twee Just too late. The shot struck the place where Jerry had bean sitting Juat aa Jerry’s black heels disappeared In the water. Jerry awam under water Just aa long aa ha could. Hla lungs aeemed bursting for lack of freah air whan at last ha poked hla noaa out of water. He had Juat time to take a long breath and Alva again when that terribla gun onca mora banged. The shod struck the water Juat where Tarry's head had been only a aecond before. The man rowing the boat rowad aa hard aa ha could In the direction In which Jerry had been headed when he dived. The hunter with the ter rible gun watched for Jerry to come up again. It waa Jerry's good for tune that that boat was rowed a little too far this time, and whan at last ha had to come up for air he waa hack of the boat. The rowar eaw him and apoka to tha hunter. But hy the time the hunter could turn with his terrible gun Jerry had dived ones more. This time Jerry had seen a mane of floating rubbish. He made straight for It und»c water. When he cams up he came up underneath It, and could poke hla roan out to get freah air without being seen. There he re malned while thus* hunters rowed about and watched for him. At lest they gave up and rowed away. "It Isn't falrl It Isn’t falrl'1 ferry kept saying over and ovar to himself. "Those hunters are not falrl They know I have no place to go and are hunting me when I am helpless." And Indeed It wasn't fair. Nothing could have been more unfair. Jerry Miiakiitt end others of hie kind have trnuhl«a enough and dangers enough without being hunted by men with terrible guns.
