THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2b, 1921. ibllPY-TIMt TALCS THETAlSCF BENNY BADGER BY ARTHUR -SCOTT BAI LEY , CHAPTER FIVE. Speaking of Ground Squirrels. Benny Badger stared none, too pleasantly at Mr. Coyote. He didn't ike his visitor. And he wished Mr. Coyote would go away, i But Mr. Coyote seemed to be in io hurry to leave. On the contrary, le appeared to have plenty of time c spare. And if he noticed the Yown on Benny Badger's face, he irtainly acted as if it were the most grrcable of smiles. "We were speaking of Ground Wiuirrels " lie began with a smirk. Kenny Badger interrupted him ;uikly. We were not! lie snapped. I you need Tizlpr haven't mentioned Ground Scuiir rels," he growled. Mr. Coyote fell back a fe.v steps. : "Well, I know you're interested in them, anyhow," he continued, trying to act as ifrhc were quite unruffled by Benny's rudeness. "Vou can't ;eny that, for unless I'm mistaken, you've just caught one here." And his, bright eyes twinkled, for he thought he "had'' Benny Badger there, and it would be of no. use for Benny to deny it. "Vou are mistaken." Benny Badger grunted. At that Mr. Coyote shot a swift look at Win. Was that a shadow of disappointment about Benny's month?' "Did he get away from you?" Mr. Coyote inquired. Benny Badger had to admit that that was exactly tlae case, He ix plairfed how he had found the Ground Squirrel's , bed warm, but empty, when he reached the snug bedroom. "I don't see how it happened," he told Mr. Coyote mournfully. That crafty fellow gave a short laugh. He rather believed he knew where the trouble lay. And he said to himself under his, breath that Benny Badger was even more stupid than he had supposed. "Did vou keep an eyeon the virotlTtd Squirrel's back doorr" lie in- luircd. And he was -so amused by something or' other that he. began to toggle. ; Benny Badger was afraid that Mr. Coyote was going to burst into song again. And he couldn't help shudder ing. . "Are-you going to sing?" he asked hastily. "I hadn't intended to." Mr. Coyote answered. "But of course if you want me to " . , . "Xo! no!" Benny cried. "Please don't !" "Very well!" his 'musical friend re plied. And then he returned to his question. "What about the back door? Did you watch it carefully?" he inquired; "How could 1?" Benny demanded, with a snort of-angcr. "I can't dig away at a Ground Squirrel's hole, with my head buried m it, and -watch "his hack door at the same time. If I stopped digging, and went around to the back door, he'd be almost sure to run out through the front one. So I'd he no better off. In fact, I'd be worse off: for I'd lose not only the Ground Squirrel, but the fun of digging, too. Mr. Coyote turned his head away and smiled a wide, wide smile. It was some moments before he could trust himself to speak without laughing lighten Benny Badger's face. "It's plain." he said at lat. "that you need help. So I'm coming here -i-ifrv nicrht in atish von in the htlsi- D J ' J - y.srs of catching Ground Squirrels, J x (Copyyalit Oosapt tt I'unlnp.) M. W. A. to Meet ' Hebron, Xcb.. Feb. 25. (Special.)
