Heads and bodies appeared and disappeared, rushing this way and that through the water in a Manner that amazed and puzzka him. The beavers lost no time in getting at their lebor, and Barn watched and listened without eo much as rustling is blade of the grass in which he was concealed. He was trying to under-. stand. He was striving to place these cdrious arid comfortkble-looking crea- tures in his knowledge of thinge. They did not alarm him; he felt no un- easinesg at their number or size. His stillness was not the quietnesg of dig - maim, but rather of a strange and growing desire to get better acquaint- ed with this curious four -legged brotherhood of the pond. Already they had began to make the big forest legs lonely for him.
