One fine winter's day Fatty Coon came upon the queerest tracks in the snow. They were hufcc a great deal bigger, even, than bcar-tfacks, which ratty had sometimes seen, lor once in a while, before the weather grew too cold, and he fell Mto his winter's sleep, a bear would come down into tbe valley from his home on Blue mountain. But these were six times as big as bear tracks. And Fatty felt a shiver of fear run up and down his back. He followed the train a little way. But he was very careful. He was al ways ready to' scramble up a tree, in case he should suddenly see the strange animal or rather, in case the strange 'animal should sec him. The treat tracks led straight to ward Farmer Green's house. And Fatty did not want to go there. So he, hurried, home to ask mother what he had found. , .Mrs. Coon listened to Fatty's story. - : ' "I think it must be the monster that almost caught me in the road last summer," said Fatty," meaning the automobile vthat had given him a great fright.' "Maybe he's come back again to Catch Farmer Green and his family. ... Do you sup pose he's eaten them up?" 'Mrs. Coon. wis puzzled. And she was somewhat alarmed, too. She wanted to see those strange tracks herself. So she told her other chil 'dren not to step a foot out of the house until she came back. And then she asked Fatty to run along iind show here "where he had come upon the monster's trail. ' . Fatty Coon felt very important, as he led the way across the swamp and intothe woods. It was not often that he could show his mother anything. And he was so proud that: lie almost forgot his fright. "I guess you're glad I have sharp eyes," he said, as they hurried along. "If the tracks are as big as you say they arc, your eyes wouldn't have to be yery sharp to see them," . bis mother fetold him.1 Mrs. Coon never liked to hear, her . children boast. She. knew thai boasting is one of the most unpleasant things anyone can do. : "Well-f-maybe you don't think I ' saw the monster's . tracks at ally' said Fatty. "Maybe you don't think I-heard him, screech " "When did you hear him screech?" Mrs. Coon asked. "This is the first you've said about screeching. When was it?" "Last summer," Fatty answered. Mrs. Coott didn't ' smile. Perhaps she was too worried for that. ; j ' "ft may not be the lame monster, AMUSEMENTS.

"It mav not be a monster at all." ' ' ; But this time Fatty was sure he was right. He was sure he knew more than his mother. "Why can't we go right over to Farmer Green's and take some of his chickens?" he asked "The monster "Snowslioes! Mrs Coon jiuSC has probably eaten him by this time, and all his family, too." But Mrs. Coon .would do no such thing. . "Show me the ' tracks,", she said, firmly. And so they went on into the woods. ' ' "There, they arel" Fatty cried, a few minutes later. "See, "Mother! They're even bigger than I said." He heard a funny noise behind him, then. And when Fatty Soon looked around he saw that his mother was actually holding her sides, she was laughing so hard. "Those arc Framer Green's tracks," she said, as soon as she could stop laughing long enough , to speak. ; "What as big as that?" Fatty PHOTOPLAYS.
