(Copyright. 1R.1R.) Solution to Yesterday's Puzzle. Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS. How do you suppose Old Man Coyote felt as he lay hiding in the clump of withered ferns and saw Buster Bear upset all his carefully laid plans for a good meal on one of those busy seekers for sweet little beechnuts? I can guess, can't you? All he could do was to keep per fectly still and hope that Buster would go away. He had one cause for satisfaction, anyway, and this was that he hadn’t been discovered. No one knew that he was there or anywhere about. He hoped that no one would find it out.

One of the ceatures flourished his sharp trident. It was the signal to attack. The others closed in on the hapless fugitives, thrusting viciously. A low growl, the instinctive growl of a fighting beast, rumbled within Tarzarrs helmet. His trident shot out. It found its mark in the gnarled body of a ptome. whose trident was recovered by Helen. Herkuf dodged a blow nar rowly, then drove at his attacker. Ill Riu lu — T» Rh O ■ fll *• Puum Ml M4 R1»»i DrnMWW k» k FEATURE SYNDICATE. Inc | Helen stood bravely against her particular assail ant. Now that the battle had actually begun, she found herself strangly calm. Her athletic training, her remarkable muscular co-ordination, enabled her to parry skilfully the thrusts of the over-anxious ptome. Two ptomes soon lay dead on the floor of Lake Horus. but the other gave no sign of abandon ing the combat. Tarzan realized the singular perils of this submarine battle to him and his friends. The ptomes had only to puncture their water suits to drown them! Traflamarlt a a o 11 r <1 Por D. 8.

Then, though he had failed this time, he might be able to catch one of them later. So Old Man Coyote kept perfectly still and hoped for a chance to slip away unseen. Then he would come the next day and try again. The one thing he feared was that Buster Bear might take it into his head to see if any beechnuta had fallen In that dump of ferns. Buster him nervous. Several times Buster came almost over to the clump of ferns, and Old Man Coyote made ready to run. But each time Buster turned aside and Old Man Coyote sighed with relief. At last Buster began to work farther and farther away, and it looked very much as if /Did Man Coyote need worry no longer about the danger of being discovered. In a few minutes the way would be clear and he would slip out of his hiding place and away. It was Just then that Sammy Jay mm* that way looking far a plaoa in which to hide a nut he carried in his bill. He stopped to rest a minute in a tree that grew on the very edge of that clump of ferns. Sammy had hidden many sweet, brown, little beechnuts in many places and he couldn't quite make up his mind where to hide this par ticular one. As he sat there try ing to think of a new place he grew careless and the fat, sweet, little nut slipped out of his bill and fell down through the branches plump on Old Man Coyote hiding among the withered ferns. Hew that su a parttoutastr Am little nut. It was the biggest and fattest one Sammy had found. He felt sure it was much the sweetest. He didn’t want to lose it. So down flew Sammy after it. He saw just where it fell among the withered ferns and he was Just about to drop among them when he saw some thing else. He saw the gray coat of Old Man Coyote. With a harsh scream Sammy checked himself Just in time and flew back up in the trees. Then how he did scream! His voice rang an through the Green Forest. Every body stopped hunting nuts to listen. “Thief! Thief! Thief,” screamed Sammy Jay at the top of his voice. “Everybody watch out for Old Man Coyote! Here he is! Here he is! Thief! Thief! Thief!” Old Man Coyote knew then that it was useless to hide longer. He got to his feet and glared up at Sammy Jay. If looks could hurt, Sammy Jay certainly would have fallen right down dead that instant. But looks can’t hurt and Sammy only screamed the louder. Old Man Coyote was too angry for words. He was too upset and •aery mn to snarl. Ha simply . 1 turned, and with such dignity as h 1 could show, trotted aw’ay. Samm followed him all the way to th edge of the Old Pasture, and by th sound of Sammy 's voice all the othe little people knew just where Ol* Man Coyote was going. He wai going home.
