He had found it in the water close to tho ehoro of the Laughing Brook. It had looked Innocent enough, and Bobby's curiosity had led him to thrust a black paw In to feel around for what might be Inside. The edge [ . of the partly cut top had become jammed and held that little black i paw fast. The more he tried to pull * his paw out the tighter It was held.

Bobby had been frightened from “ the first, but now he was filled with terror. lie had felt that If he could once get home he would at least lie safe, lie had felt In Hint snug, hollow tree there would be no danger, and he bad hoped that there lie might get rid of that dreadful trap. Bobliv •pends a great deal of time on the ground, but In time of danger he takes lo I he lice*. Now he couldn't climb lie tried and tried, but II was * ’IS'jeSS. ••Oh!
