. er they walked to the the Forest, Chipmunk chatting aiiiiabiy all the way. Vi/liile they weic looking for nuts, along tdllle singing Rabbit who thought he would stop and visit with Elizabeth and Chipmunk. So the three of them were having. l fine time in the Forest, and Eliz-g lbetli was filling her pockets with‘ all the nuts she could find. ‘

' through the under- . ge moose appeared. What a hi; fellow lie was! His

antlers expanded almost six feet and he tmd evidently been run- ning a. long way, He was ex- tremely diznified. He paused to rest. and lie told Elizabeth, Chip-i munk and Singing Rabbit iiow thei wolves had chased him for miles‘ and miles, before he could lhake them off. A moose is an excellent swimmer and light-footed so hei had felt Safer ivhen he came to‘ swampy land near the river. There , he had evaded the ivolves and he. swam across the river to this side of the Forest. I

“They are a wicked pack andi wild at this time of the year," the! Moose told them, liis kindly eyes‘ resting on Elizabeth. l

"You shoziidirt stay here," he, told her, "The wolves may be oni this side of the Forcstbcfore long, and they won't be kind to a little‘ girl like you."

"So Elizabeth, Singing Rabbit and Chipmunk started to leave im- mcdiateiy. because none of them had any desire lo meet the wolves. , But thBy were too late! The sun, shone into a little clearing ini the woods and Elizabeth sudden- ly saw a big grey wolf standing in the centre, looking about him and sniffing the air. Perhaps he was looking for the Moose, who knows?

Singing Elizabeth: _

“You had better run an fast as you can and we will stop him from following you."

So, although she was very much afraid for hcr friend, Singing Rab. bit, Elizabeth ran out of the Forest and never stopped until she got 11011.0.

But in the Forest singing Rabbit and Chipmunk were left facing the

Singing Rabbit's breath was thumping so hard that he could barely get his breath, but, as the wolf appeazcd, lie began to sing as gang: as he could.

The Wolf stopped in amazement was singing. Never had lie seen a rabbit who could sin: before. He thought to himself: ‘flow dziie this rabbit sit there Singing instead of running away from me?‘

Then Singing Rabbit began to sing-

‘Oh. Mister Wolf, how 1 should like to be like you, so hand- some, strong and brave,

That everybody in the Forest in afraid of you.

You are the Ruler of the woods. and that is why I sing to you,

Ycs, that is why I sing to you,"

"Well," asked the Wolf, "aren't you afraid that Ill eat you up?“

“Oh, yes. I am afraid," said the Singing Rabbit, “but I wouldn't taste vcry good, I'm surc." And he began to hop about and cry.

“We'll see about that." said the cruel Wolf and he jumped on poor little Singing Rabbit‘ who would never sing any more.

When Chipmunk came out of the Forest, he was crying so hard that Elizabeth heard him and came running. He told her how the Wolf had killed Singing Rab- bit and how brave he had been. Chipmunk then crawled into his new house, pulled his tail over his eyes and went to sleep for weeks and weeks.

But Elizabeth told her father what had happened. So her father and her brother loaded their guns and went out into the Forest, where they shot the cruel wolf. And so the Singing Rabbit was avenged.

Elizabeth never forgot her good friend who had saved her life, and even when she grew up to be a big girl, slie always sang the sing- ing Rabbit's favourite song which he had first sung for her so long ago.

That movement loosed his grip a trlfle and, on the instant, the halfbreed was at his throat. ‘Iihey Zfflppléfl‘, stumbled, and rolled over in the snow. Duval had been drinking. O'Hara was deadly so- ber, with muscles like stesl; a trained fighter, They battled over the ec-ge of a drift and the ser- geant held hla enemy down and out of sight when someone opened the door and lookec out.

"Gone like a lamb!" they heard a

A couple of dogs began to howl. a fiddle scraped somewhere, and O'Hara got .is knee on the half- breed’: breast, slipped a hand down and disarmcd him. "You're making a mistake Duval," he said chokingly for the struggle had cost him his breath.
