' (By Thornton W, B THE BATTERED PAIL I! each would stop to. count the cost ' His temper ‘ -Oid Mother Nature. Flrmer Brown's boy collecting the sap from the pails on the maple trees in the Green Forest. had the funny feeling of being watched yet not seeing anyone not knowing who was watching him. As he trumped irom tree to tree he could feel those eyes lol- lowing him. "If I had the time to search I would soon find out who is watch- ing me. But there is too much work. to be done to take time out for that." thc-ught he as he poured the sap from a pail from a tree into a collecting pail to be curried to the sugar house where his father. was boiling sap into maple syrup, and later would make some into sugar. Near the sugar housc Farmer Browns boy had discovered Peter Rabbit watching from beneath a pile oi brush but he knew it wasn't Peter's eyes that gave him that funny feeling. Chatter the Red Squirrel was scolding Ircm a tree as only he can when in good voice, so it wasn't his eyes that were felt. He had seen Prickley Porky the Porcupine up in a tree. "It wasn't his eyes I salt. His eyes are too dull ior that I doubt it he even saw me when I was right under his tree," said Farmer Brown's boy and chuckled. T ere was one tree biggest oi.‘ all t e Maple trees. that stood of! at some little distance from the other maple trees. It was so bii that it was a three-pail tree. 'l‘hat is, the big trunk was lapped at seldcm would be lost. ' three plares and a pail was hung at each. 0! course, it was an old tree. for it takes many years tor u tree to grow as big es we: that maple.

And when they are cut down they still give wood ior building, heat and countless other uses. No axe will ever touch that big maple while I rm alive" “Nor while I live." said Farmer Brown's boy. His lather smiled. knowing that he meant it. Once more he was on his way to the big tree to get the sup from the three pails, The tree was not yet in sight when he came to a pail bottom up on the snow. "Now how in the world did that get here?" he exclaimed. Then as he picked it up, he added wonder- ingly. "And what happened to make it look like this?” It was a sorry-looking pail. dented battered out of shape. As Farmer Brown's boy said, it looked us ll’ it had been through a war. ‘Phcre were nn footprints but his own near it. No one was to be seen. He heard no one. He wished that pail could talk. How did it get there and what had been done to it? "Looks as i! some one lost his tmnper," thought, he.
