There was some-1 thing far more worth while that claimed his .thoughts., For the; prairie dog village still remained : where it had been. And as Benny looked at it he found it highly in-j ttresting. Even as lie glanced at the door way of the nearest house he caught sight of a small head with bulging' eyes, which stared at hint without blinking. - Benny moved nearer.

And he slipped his coat on again, and lay flat in the grass. A coyote had come bounding up at -Exactly the wrong time! And every one of the prairie dogs promptly pulled his head out of sight. J If he noticed Benny at all, the coyote nrust have thought htm no more than a heap of dirt. Anyhow, he paid no heed to Benny, but Avent stalking through the village with his tongue hanging out of his "mouth, looking sharply out of the corners of hi eyes at the houses he passed. There is no denying that Benny Badger was displeased. He wanted no smcaking coyote at hand to spoil his plans. -And he was all ready to growl, when something made him change his mind and close his mouth. i The coyo.e walfecd through the village and disappeared in the dis tance. And here and there .heads soon began to appear in doorways. But when Benny Badger stood up and drew nearer to them, they dropped down again.

Of course we know the Prairie Dogs will all hide when they' see him. But they're so silly that they're sure to bob up and stare at him after he has gone along. And then" she said "then's the time I dash up and grab- them." Mrs. Covote paused and glared at Benny Badger. "You've spoiled myij game, she said, lor went and siowed yourself.

Benny Badger was glad to see her go. He was not at allafraid either of Mr. or Mrs. Coyote nor of both of them together.

The famous Baldwin apple was discovered by Col. Loammi Baldwin, a distinguished resident of Woburn, Mass., during the latter half of the 18th century. While surveying land in Wilmington, Mass., Colonel. Bald: win observed a tree on the land oi James Butters, which appeared to be much frequented by woodpeck ers. Curiosity led him to examine the tree and 'he found that it bore apples of an excellent flavor. The next spring he took cutting' from the tree to graft into stocks of his own, and the experiment was so successful that it w'as not long before i the apple was extensively cultivated ' in many sections of the state. Some called it "Butters' apple." from the localitv in -which the original tree had been found; others called it the "Woodpeckers apple," from the birds which' led to the discovery. But one day. at the entertainment of friends at tiie home of Colonel Bald win, it was suggested that the name, "Baldwin apple." in honor of the dis coverer, was the most appropriate, and It has since been known by that name. -The original tree was de stroyed in the famous gale which swept over New England in Septem ber, 1815.
