he awoke again with a start that raad«blm tremble, for the tree In which he was aleeplug was certainly falling. "It must have been Mr. Man after •II." thought Billy 'Possum. "Old Mr. Dog must hare tracked me here and they have cut down the tree." He did not hare time to think more, for while he was looking with both sharp eyes to see who was after him and dinging fast to the tallest limb of the tree, down It went rtgbt Into the stream, which Seas pretty deep. The branch where Billy was ding lug went aplash Into the water, and of course Billy went. too. He knew this wa* no rtme to play dead ’possum. If .t had been on land he might, but not in the water; and paddling quickly to the bank be scrambled up and away be ns. He did not stop until he was safe tn another tree and then be took a look around. There was no one In sight but Mr. Pox. who stood shaking himself with laughing. “What are you laughing at?" Billy, feeling a little cross; for how he felt that Mr. Fox was laughing at Mm. “Because you had to take a hath." answered # Mr. Fox. "You hare the Beaver brotoe— to hank for your <"o Into the cream. r 'ldn1 yon hear them sawing down the u -•T’ “Oh. was that what I hea.fr replied Billy, looking rery muc? prised. “I didn't know wliat t but I knew It wa* not Mr. 'fan, so I went to sleep again and when I woke up the tree wea falllm," Mr. Fox began to laugh again. “Thing* move fast with the Beaver boya," he said. “I advise yon to make your new home away from a stream or pond, for If they want a tree they

take It"

Mr. Fox trotted off and Billy Tussum came down the tree and went through the woods to look for h home far from the water aide. He decided that an old hollow tree would beet for meny reasons; and one was that he knew the Beaver brothers would not choose an old tree for bunding their dams. <C. Uta. hr Mcdi
