The Hungry Watchers. Reddy Fox was not the only one to lick lips hungrily at the new* that there were two young Porcuplnee in the Green Forest. Old Man Coyote did the very same thing. So did Yowler the Bob Cat. Even little Shad ow the Weasel licked his lips. Not one of them had ever seen a baby Porcupine. None could Imagine such little fellow* ss being anything but helpless. Each felt that if he could get them away from Mra. Porky there would be no trouble at all In getting a good dinner of tender young Porcu pine. So Reddy Fox had not long been In hiding where he eould watrh the Por cupine family when he say Old Man Coyote approaching softly. The sight of him angered Reddy Fox. But he took care to keep perfectly still and not let Old Man Coyote know that he was there. The funny part Is that Reddy Fox actually felt that Old Man Coyote had no right there. He actu ally felt that Old Man Coyote was there to try to rob him of something that belonged to him. Of course this wasn't so at all. Old Man Coyote sat down and watched Prickly Porky's family for a while. Then he did exactly what Reddy Fox had done. Yes, sir, he did lust that. He picked out a good hid ing place from which he could watch the Porcupine family, and there he made himself comfortable. It was quite clear to Reddy that Old Man Coyote had Just the same Idea that he had. He had made up his mind that those young Porcupines were harm less, and he Intended to wait for them to come down out of that tree. Hardly had Old Man Coyote hidden when Yowler the Bob Cat crept Into view. Yowler flattened htmaelf on the ground and glared up at tha young Porcupines. Such an eager, hungry look as there was In those fierce, yel low eyes! It actually made Reddy Fox shiver. Then Yowler did just what Reddy and Old Man Coyote had done, he hid where he could watch and wait. Now Reddy Is no match for either Old Man Coyote or Yowler the Bob Cat. He knows It. "I may as well move on and try to forget those young Porcupines.” thought Reddy. "If they come down one of those fel "I may as well mure on and try to forget those young Porcu pine*,'' thought Reddy, lowe will get them. I haven’t a chance." Black anger filled Reddy's heart. But at 111 Reddy didn’t go. Reddy has learned by experience that oppor tunity often comes in the most unex pected way. Old Man Coyote and Yowler might get tired and leave be fore those young Porcupines came down. They might get Into a fight over those young Porcupines and give him a chance to *elr* on* of them. You know you never can tell what may happen. As for Mrs Porky and her two chil dren, they appeared to have no thought of anything but filling their stomachs. They didn't even atop eat ing to now and then look around They knew nothing of those hungry, hidden watchers. Tliry acted Juat a* If there was no on* else in all the Green Forest, end aa If there was no such thtng as danger In all the great meal of tender bark and young twigs and leaves. They were filling their slomachs with th# food they liked best, and there wss plenty of It. To •*« them doing this and to hear their little grunts of pleasure made the hungry, hidden watcher* hungrier than ever. (Copyright. Hit.) The next Story, "Patience Is Re warded."

Yukon B Stormiest June Recorded Here; More Forecast This is the most tumultu ous June that Omaha has seen in all the history of the weather bureau, Mete orologist Robins said last night. In the last week there have been three terrific winds of more than 50 miles each. “In all the other Junes since the weather bureaia has been established I don’t think there have been a half dozen 50-mile winds,” said Mr. Robins. The wind early Saturday morning blew 51 miles; the one last Tuesday morning 52 miles, and the wind of last Sunday 52 miles an hour. There have been 19 days so far this month with thunder-storms. On some of these days there were several thunder-storms. The next most thundery June was that of 1909, when there wrr^ 16 days with thunder-s{prms. The weather forecast for Nebraska is increasing cloudiness Sunday, with probably local thunder storms by night and on Monday. Not much change in temperature. ..... — .. - ■■ . ,J Starts Tomorrow (3 DAYS ONLY) DonlHanrFwHoney with Aileen Pringle ft)U$e PCfCfSRobyeDeRemer FFRERA.S A society drama with a new “COWBOYS" idea that will fascinate you . „ , _ HAWAHANS throughout its entire telling.
