"I said it is the footprint of ii Manlcoe. It may be Mr. Manicoci: or it may be Mrs. Msnicoe's; I can't tell as to that." replied the friend who h (1 pointed the foot- print out to im. "What in the world is s Manl- coe? That is a new name to me. If that isn't a Possum's footprint. then I've never seen one. and Unc' Billy Possum and I are old acquaintances," l replied Farmer Brown's boy. "I guess Cousin Manicoe was catching Crabs." said his friend. "Do you see all those little holes in the bank? They were dug by Grabs. There goes one now." Sure enough, ii small Crab scut- tled aiong sideways but last and disappeared in one of the holes. The two boys kept still for a few minutes.

At the first move- ment of one of the watchers every Crab scuttled for his or her own home. "Cousin Manicoe. whoever he is. would have to work fast to catch ii dinner of those." said Farmer Brown's boy with a chuckle. Those scuttllrig iittlc Crabs had been funny to see. "He may seem slow at most times. but he can be quick enough at other times. especially when there is something good to eat," replied his friend. "I suppose you mean he is a good grabber when he turns crab- ber." said Farmer Brown's boy, and grinned at his own joke. provingly. "That is rather awful as a joke but it happens to be true." said he. "A good crabber has to be is good grabber and Cousin Manlcoe is just that. 1 have an idea he is not far from here right now. He probably is living in the neighborhood. I tell -you what. Tommy. we'll go home and get. a couple of traps and set them over here. Then if we have luck you may have a chance to sea Cousin Maniooe.” - They did not have far to go and soon were back with the traps. They were set carefully and skill- fully so as not to awaken suspic- ion. ”I hope we will have him in the morning." said Tommy. "I'm an- xious to see what he is like." "Don't. be impatient: replied the other. "He may not be Crsb hun- gry for several days. and he look- ing for other food. He eats almost anything that can be eaten-meat. fish. insects. fruit. eggs. He isn't the least bit fussy about his food, not even about its freshness." "That sounds for all the world like Unc' Billy Possum." replied Tommy. ”l-le eats anything and everything. and he doesnt seem to care whether it is fresh or old. sweet or smelly." The next day the traps were empty and undisturbed. ” The next day the bait had been taken from one of the traps without springing it. Tommy wondered how it had been done. "Ants." replied the other. ' "I hadn't thought of them. Of course they could and wcuid do it easily if they wanted the bait." agreed Tommy. on the third morning one of the traps held a prisoner fast by one leg. "Possum!" cried Tammy. "Manicoe!" cried his friend. Both were right. The family looks were unmistakable. Cousin Msnicoe is a member of the Pos- sum family.
