BURGESS A DOUBLE SCARE R LACKY the Crow sat In the Big Hickory—tree—with—his—head cocked on one side, as he looked far across the Green Meadows to where a familiar figure was just turning out of the Long Lane which comes down from Farmer Brown’s. That familiar figure was Farmer Brown’s boy. Blacky had known him ever since he could remember. “Times / have changed,” thought Blacky. “Times certainly have changed a whole lot. Farmer Brown’s boy is different The time was when I ai rways looked first thing to see if he bad a gun with him. He used to try Blacky Doesn't Believe in Taking Any Unnecessary Risks. to fool me about that gun, but he nev- jB* did. These days I never have to think about a gun, so far as he is con cerned. I wish that all the rest of the two-legged creatures In this world were like him. It certainly would make It a whole lot easier for us Crows in corn-sprouting 1 ' time. But then It would take a whole iot of fun out of life, too,” Blacky grinned wlckedly.j “It certainly would be tame and no fun at all If there were no terrible guns to watch out for." Farmer Brown’s boy turned out of the Long Lane onto the Green Mead ows gnd headed straight across to wards the Big Hickory tree and the Smiling Pool. Blacky continued to watch him with the very lively inter est which he always takes in what ever Farmer Brown or Farmer Brown’s boy may happen to be doing. As he strode along through the meadow grass, he was whistling. He usually Is whistling when he is out side the house. So far as Blacky could see. Farmer Brown's boy hadn’t a car8 in the world. Suddenly, wlthoitt any warning at all, Farmer Brown’s boy broke off his whistle with a yell He Jumped as If he had been stung and, reaching over, slapped at one leg. tSlacky Tiie Crow iat up suddenly, and his bright eyes sparkled. It was perfectly plain to Blacky that Farmer PoYOl ] Know— Brown’s boy had had a scare of some kind. Blacky’s eyes! are very keen. There is very'little that they miss. But look as he would, Blacky couldn’t see a single thing which could possibly have frightened Farmer Brown’s boy. Blacby spread his wings and flew over toward Farmer Brown’s boy. Al though he wasn’t afraid, or at any rate woViTclnT admit that be was, he flew high. Blacky does not believe in taking any unnecessary risks. Safety first is Blacky’s motto. ■ As he flew over Farmer Brown ? a boy.

Not a thing was to be seen. By this time Farmer Brown’s boy was sit ting down. With one hand he was holding to one leg Just above the kqee. and with the other he was rolling up the leg of his trousers. More than this. Blacky could not see, because'you know he could not stand still in the air To this day he does not know what happened. What did happen was this: When , Nimble Heels the Jumping Mouse was awakened from his pleasant dreams. It was by the approach of Farmer Brown's bdy. In his fright he Jumped blindly, not looking to see where he was going; and, without meaning to at all. he Jumped right up inside the trouser’s leg of Farmer Brown’s boy. It is a question which was the most startled —Nimble Heels to find himself in such a strange place, or Farmer Brown’s boy. It was a double scare.
