Prickly Porh"s shoe-button eyes usually look very dull. They were not dull now. They brightened won- deriuily. For a moment or two he simply stood there staring at his iind. He could hardly believe his good fortune. Then he sighed. It was a gusty sigh of pure satis- iaction. There in iront or him lay one o! the great antlers oi Flat- horna the Moose. You know, Flat- horns, like Llghtioot the Deer. loses his antlers every winter and grows a new pair to take their place. This antler had dropped when Flathorns had passed that way months before, Already others had found it for there were marks of small teeth around the edge where certain iurry iolk had gnawed at it.

grunfed Prickly Porky.

"What have you Jound?" asked Roddy Fox, who happened along Just in time to hear Prickly Porky.

"That is none of your business." declared Prickly Porky and tried to hide the great antler by getting be- tween it and Raddy.

Roddy grinned. ."Ii you mean that thing." said he, "It oertainiy isn't any or my business. You are welcome" to it. What in the world do you want it for? You can't eat anything like that."

"Perhaps you can't." said Prick- ly Porky. "You haven't the right kind or teeth Ior it. No. sir. you haven't the right kind- of teeth. if you had teeth like mine you might think diiierently."

Once more Roddy grinned. "'I'ha.nk goodness I haven't teeth like yours." said he. "But even with teeth like yours I don't see how you can eat that thing. what is more; I don't see why you should

ant to." Priiakly Porky turned his back on Raddy Fox and began to gnaw at one edge oi the great antler. Big and strong as those great cutting teeth of his were, he could get only bits from that antler. 1-le smacked his lips over these. "Everybody to his own taste." said Reddy Fox, and trotted away. wondering what in the world there could be in one of the great horns of Fiathorns the Moose that any one would like to eat. Every day Prickly Porky spent a little time gnawing on that big antler. Little by little here was less of the antler until at long last it disappeared completely, Prickly Porky didn't eat all or it. Mrs. Porky shared it with him. she lik- ed it as much as he did. Why did they like to gnaw at that antler? Because there was something in it that they needed in their own bodies. They didn't know they needed it. But Mother Nature knew and gave them a longing tor it Just as she had given small boys and girls a longing for sweets. "It -was good while it lasted." grunted Prickly Porky. -I-lad you heard him you might have thought it had lasted only a Vvery little while. whereas it had lasted a lens. icng time. '
