There were babies in that old home! There was no doubt atiout that. But whose habits were they!’ Boxer hesitated. He wanted to go in and see those babies, hut some how lie didn't quite dare to. At first it was just curiosity that made him want to see those babies. Then sud den and very great jeoiousy f.lied his heart. That was his old home under there, and he felt that no one else had a light there excepting Mother Beur and his twin sister, Woof-Woof, lie sniff'd again, long and loud. Again came those whim pering little ciies. A look of anger fame into Boxer’s eye*, lie growled way down In h.s throat, and it 'was an ugly sounding growl. It was answered by a louder and still uglier growl and a crash of brush behind him. Boxer turned his head to pee Mother B"ar coming straight for him. and she was show ing all her teeth. One look was enough for Boxer. He forgot his anger. He forgot his jealousy. Then was no room in that black head of his for anything hut the desire to get away from there as fast as his kgs would take him. With a bawl of fright Boxer took to his heels. My, my, my, my, how lie did run! He was so Intent on getting away from there that he didn't even look behind to see if Mother Bear was following hint. He | was afraid to look boh id. He ran j and ran and ran and ran. He ran ] until he was out of breath and had to stop. Then, fearfully, iie looked , Im hind. Mother Bear wasn't any where to lie seen. As a matter of fact, she had < based him only far enough to niake sure that lie wouldn't stop anywhere near that old windfall. Boxer sat down and panted and panted for brratb lie was all aahake with fright. He was so nerv- i ous that he Jumped at every little sound. When at last he had ful'v leeovered his breath he began to feel better. There had been no sign of Mother Bear, and he made up hi.« mind that she had gone back to the old home under the windfall. Then ho began to do a little thinking. Cn-I derstanding came to him quite sud I deniv. •‘Those ba'ika belong to Mother i IV.ir!" exclaimed to h i -elf "Yes, sir, those are .\fother Bear's habits! j It was because of them that she j wouldn't*let Woof Woof and me Join i her in our old home when we first cam<* out this sping It was because i of them that she drove us out into tlie f.ieat World to make our own way. Yes. sir, that was it. It wasn't wholly because It was time for us to start out for ourselves; It was more because of those new babies. I tin d«mtnnd it all now. Those new babies have taken the places of Woof-Woof and myself. My, I'm glad she didn't catch mn there!" Boxer shivered at the thought of what might have happened had I Mother I’.car caught him in under that old windfall, lie was thankful I that she had returned Just when she uitl. He was still jealous of those, new baliies. You see it didn't enter Ids funny head that those new babies ^ were relatives of his. To him they , were just little strangers who had driven him and Woof-Woof away from their mother. Copyright, 1923. The next story: “Boxer Grows Sulky."
