-Burter Hear.

A person who does not need 4-Iiirrs around in order to be vupm, hill who can have a per- is-cilv good time alone. is said to two sufficient unto himself. That IS the kind nf person great. big niliiftf Bear is. He likes compa .v Hlil"P in a while. but most. of the -n.vn.- i.'s wholly SRl,lHfl6d with liix nwri rompany. If one is ieeling I!"0il(lh.V. it. is nice to be alone. Nu one can enjoy being grouchy quite so much as when he can be .2:-niirhy as he pleases, and no one rarcs. I-low fortunate that this is so. If Buster is feeling especially :oon'-naiiired, feeling like doing things as kicking up his hrvis or turning a somersault. he can do those things as much as ho pleases when he is alone. li'hN1 he has fnunri something ex- t:.'l mod in cat. well. that is the an mm: in the world he wants nnvbody around.

So it is that Buster goea his av through the Green Forest with nobody to tell him that he can't mu this or he can't do that. He m-ims as near to doing just as no Elflllli in do as anybody in the Forest. Yes, sir, he does. this doesn't. mean that he is

'ox-est. He isnli. One who lives 5. liiinsalt alone is selfish. and .-0:fiSi'lllCS5 and true happiness do not lllix. You never find them to-

,';'Cii16'I'. Winter was just around the corner, so to speak. Buster was

mvnre or it. and he wasn't pleased that it was so. It meant that be- fore long he wauld have to go to sleep for the remainder of the winter. and he didn't. want to go to sleep. He would have to go to sleep because there would be no- iiiinz for him to eat. He could SW01) and not eat, but he couldn't not eat and not. sleep. He didn't want to sleep. so or course he n':d want to eat. but he wasn't going to have anything to pay I- hnut. it. He never does have. Mother Nature tends to that.

Ail things considered Buster War was feeling pretty good. He had lived well through the fall. There had been plenty of beech- nuts. and how Buster does love those three-sided little hula! And there had been plenty of am:-us. Buster had grown fat on Now these lillnzs were scarce. and he had to do a lot of hunting to find any- thing to eat. However. he always managed in find something. Then. too. he had less appetite than PRTHPT in the season. Thoae sweet bcorliiiiiis and acorns had made a nice warm blanket of fat under his skin. So most. of the time he felt. good-natured. Fat. folks us- ually do. It. is one of the real advantages or being fat.

Early this morning be working along R. ridge.

'mvans that he was moving along

the ridize slowly. Thai. dosen'l mean that he was doing anything that could be called work. Work means hard labor. He iinitied hero. and he sniffed there. He rolled over atone: on the chance he might. find something or some- body underneath them. He batted down a big wasp's neat. and was disappointed to find that it was empty.

my Mouse. I've been watching him Ior I long time. Sooner or later he'll give me a. chance to catch him. He'll get careless. Everybody gets careless. I sup- pose I do myself, but I don't know when. Anyhow. Buster Bear has no business with my Mouse. I'd tell him so. only it. would do no good. Come to think of it. I haven't seen that Mouse for days and days." Croacker scratched his big black bill with one 01 the big claws of his big feet.

Just then Buster Bear began to dig at. the fact of that old stump.
