"I don’t believe it.” declared Farm er Brown’s Boy. "I simply can’t be lieve it. Old Man Coyote lives on Rabbits and Mice and Birds and any oiher meat that he can find, tie isn’t a fruit eater. Why, I would just as He opened his eyes to see n shadowy form sneaking through the melon patch, soon think that Bowser would come down here and eat a melon as to think that Old Man Coyote would.” Farmer Brown nodded. "I woitld think just the same way but for the fnet that a few days ago I was read ing about Coyotes and it stated that often they do eat fruit and vegetable matter, and in some places have shown a fondness for melon^, Now let us look at the facts. Melons have been opened and eaten light here in our melon patch. They were Hot car tied away, hut were eaten right here. There are no footprints save the foot prints of old Man Coyote. The marks of teeth on the melon rinds are just -— such marks as the teeth of Old Man | Coyote might leave. It looks to me j very rasch as if that sly, old rascal | is the thief. He probably visited the ! melon patch toward morning instead of in the evening, and that is way ' w e did not see him when we kep* ; watch. The question now Is, what are vve going to do about it?" “ We'll leave Bowser here tonight j to keep guard," declared Farmer Brown's Boy. "J'11 tie him to the fence with a long line. If I don't tie him he won't undestand that he Is Supposed to stay here and kei^v guard all night. With Bowser here I don't believe Old Man Coyote or any other thief will touch our melons.” So that night, when the Black Shadows came creeping out from the Purple Hills across the Green Forest to Farmer'Brown's Garden, Farmer Brown's Boy took Bowser down to the melon patch. To Bowser's collar he fastened one end of a long line The other end he fastened to the fence. "Bowser," said he. “you are to guard this melon patch. Don't let any one steal a melon tonight.” Bowser wagged his tail as he look ed up In his master's face, as much as to say lo sav he understood and would do his best. But he didn't understand at all. He was a very much puzzled dog, was Bowser the Hound, as he watched his master go hack to the house, lie started to fol low, hut of course, he could go no further than the line would allow him to. He sat down and mournfully look ed after his master. At last he lay down. This was a new experience for Bowser, and he didn’t know what to think. ' Farmer Brown’s Boy had left nn| armful of straw for a bed. The nights were not yet cold, ami he knew that Bowser would he perfectly com fortable. Bowser w’as. He curled up on that bed of straw’ and went to sleep. But he slept lightly. Several rimes during the night he got up and walked about as far as the line, by which he was tied, would allow him to. It wasn't until along toward morning that Bowser guessed why he had been left to watch the melon I patch. A fatnt sound awoke him. He opened his eyes to see a shadowy form sneaking through the melon vines. The next story: ‘‘Old Man Coyote Gets Another Melon."
