Suddenly. he k'hew what that dinner would be if he could get it. It wouldnt be eggs: it would I be baby Birds. Right then and there he Iorgot everything but the din- ner he was sure he was going to get. He began to glide forward a little taster. He was inside now, all but a few inches or his tail, and that would be inside in just a second or two more. It was then that Mrs. Rattles happened to return. She saw that tail disappearing in the doorway of her home. With a sharp rattling call, she ilew down and grabbed the end of Prowler's tail. He tried to pull it away, and could not.

They hit him in spite of the iact that he was partly under water. Hearing the noise, other feathered folk in the neighborhood hurried to see what was going on. None or them had any love tor Prowler. He hadn't so much as a single lriend among them. They all knew that their eggs and babies would never be safe so long as he was in the neighborhood. When at long last.
