The pstlsnt seldom welt In vain. Though mayhap thay may llttla gain. —Old Mother Nature. Patience la Rewarded. Porcupines are alow in all their movements. They never hurry. Why should they? There is nothing for them to hurry for. They walk alowly. They climb just as slowly, and per haps a little more slowly. And they are Just as slow in their eating. So It was a long time before Mrs. Porky and her two children showed any signs of having eaten enough. But if food is plentiful and easy to get. even the slowest eater fills bis stomach sooner or laler. At last the hungry hidden watchers noticed that the two young Porcupines had stopped eating. This was a hopeful sign. Mrs. Porky was still eating and appeared to pay no attention what ever to her children. Perhaps those youngsters would come down without waiting for their mother. Reddy Fox ho^ed so. Old Man Coyote hoped ao. Yowler the Bob Cat hoped so. It would be much easier and more satis factory not to have Mrs. Porky where she could interfere. All three had the greatest respect for Mrs. Porky and her thousand little spears. But the little Porcuplnee did not come down. They climbed about a little, for climbing was new to them and it was fun. But they didn't climb dow’n, and Mrs. Porky kept right on eating. It was very trying for those hungry watchara down be low. It was very trying indeed. They actually began to hats Mr«. Porky because ahe ate ao much and so slowly. But at last patienca was rawarded. Mrs. Porky stopped eating. She rested a while and watched the youngsters climb about. By and by ahe apcke to them. They climbed down to where she was sitting In a crotch of the tree. She appeared to give them a command of soma aort. Then, with provoking alowneaa, aha began to climb down tall first. The two young Porcupines followed her In the same way. Reddy Fox got to hie feet without making a sound and held himself in readiness to take advantage of the first opportunity that offered. Old Man Coyote did the same thing. Yowler the Bob Cat drew his hind feet under him and crouched ready to spring on one of those unsuspect ing little Porcupines. tr».« * » She waited at the foot of the tree until both were aafely down Slowly, oh, no alowlv, Mrs. Porky barked down that tree.
