CHAPTER XVI 1 1.
: Watching Aunt Polly.
Cuffy Bear had wandered all the
way down to the foot oi the hill be
low Blue mountain. There he spied
furciy old oame who lived in an
underground house all by herself.
The neighbors knew her as Aunt
Polly Woodchuck. And,' if anybody
had an ache or a pain, there was ro
one that could cure it as quickly as
she could.
Now. Aunt Polly never dreamed
that there was a-young cub watch
ing her, while she hobbfed about just
outside Jhe hole thht served her for
doorway. She nibbled at a clover
top. And whejt she had finished it
she moved on to eat another, and
another and another, untit at last
she found herself . staring straight
into Cutty tiears open mouth.
With a squeak of dismay she turn
ed and fled. In a twinkling she had

in Booth Tarking ton's story,
"The Man From Home"
nhisked out of sik'ht into the tun
ne 1 that led to her chamber beneath
the sod, leaving Cuffy to stand and
"Who are youl" she called.
. He told her. Afld then, "Who
are your" he asked.
'Tm Aunt Polly." she explained.
"I thought everybody in the whole
valley knew me. But it's no wonder
that you didn't, because you live a
long way from here. Don't you think
you'd better go home? Don't you
think your mother may want you?"
Aunt Polly herself certainty didn't
want him. She was timid. Bears al
ways frightened her.
"I'm not going home until din
ner time," Cuffy told her.
His reply displeased her. She
wanted to be out in the warm sun
shine while she munched clover
tops. And so long as there was a
young cub bear nearby she didn't
dare stir out of her house.
"I'll .care Itini," she nuid to her
self under her breath. "It won't hurt
him. It will only make hint run off.
So she spoke again to her unwelcome
caller: "I saw a snake out there a
little while ago. He chased a
squirrel I'.nder that brush heap."
Cuffy bear looked interested.
"Was it a big snake?" he asked.
"Enormous!" said Aunt Polly
Woodchuck.
"Then I'm going to May right 'here
until 1 see him, too," he dcclaml. As
he spoke he sat down, right there in
Aunt Polly's dooryard.
"My goodness. I made a mistake,
telling him that,"Aunt Polly mut
tered. "He may stay here all day.
So I might as well have a nap." She
crept down into her chamber and
slept for she didn't know how long.
And when she woke up and peered
out of her doorway again, Cuffy
bear was still there.
"What I Haven't you gone?" she
cried in her squeaky voice.
"No! I haven't seen the snake yet.
But I saw the squirrel" he told her.
"It must he almost dinnertime. So
I'm going hoW now. But don't wor
ry! I'll be back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow!" Aunt Polly echoed,
its Cuffy trotted off. "Oh. dear! That
ouugster will bother me all the rest
of the summer. As the Bear family
dined, Cuffy began to boast.
"I almost saw a snake today," he
announced.
"You almost saw it! his mother
exclaimed. "What do you mean by
that?
"I S4w the squirrel that the snike
ihated," he answered.
Ids mother smiled at Mr. Pr'
And to I'utly she Mid, "You can't

you, especially if it's a red squir
rel "
The squirrel didn't tell me iltoul
the suske." I iifiy evpUmed. "It was
Aunt Polly WoodihuiW that Nd
me."
"Aunt Polly! Where dul von see
her?" Mrs. Bear inquired. She was
surprised indeed. "Have you been
down under the hill where she
lives?"
"I I " Cufly began to summer.
"Don't you ever go near that plate
again!" cried Mrs. (tear. "Old hog

lie si'iniU half of his time arnun
there."
Well, that news actually fright
ened Cuffy. And that was why he
didn't keep his promise to Aunt Pol
ly about coming back the next day.
She missed htm. She missed hnn
pleasantly. For she was able to go
out and enjoy the sunshine and the
clover.
"Anyhow, I'm glad Cuffy Bear
was here yesterday,' she decided.
"For if I see that snake again I ran
tell him there was a bear looking for
him. And maybe that will scare the
snake.
