BILLY MINK IS DISCOVERED A FTEK'therats left the big barn Billy Mink found it less easy .to get plenty to eat. There were mice in the big barn, and for several days Billy managed to catch ! enough of these to keep from going hungry. But mice can get into places too small for Billy to follow, 'and those that were left soon learned to keep out of his way. t Then, Billy's thoughts turned to the hens in the henhouse. He had not intended to kill any of those hens because he knew that as soon 'as he did, the farmer who owned .them would hunt for him, and then he would have to move on. He was so comfortably located that he was not anxious to move on. But one must eat, and now that the rats had disappeared and the mice had learned to keep out of his way, Billys thoughts turned to those hens. It was the very night after the fire which the rats had started in the back shed of the farmhouse that Billy made up his mind to have a chicken dinner. He slipped under the henhouse and up through a hole in the corner which he already knew about. All the hens were roosting high, fast asleep, with their heads jmder their wings. Had Reddy Fox been in Billy Mink's place he would have been somewhat puzzled as to how he should catch one of those hens. But Billy wasnt puzzled. Not a bit of jt. You see, Billy can climb almost like a squirrel. Reddy Fox would have had to jump, and probably would have awakened and frightened the whole flock. Billy Mink simply climbed up to one of the roosts, stole along it to the nearest hen, and with one quick snap of his stout little jaws he killed that hen without even waking her. t Rembrandt-Ha- t Now, had the Weasel, been in his place, he would have gone right on killing those hens from sheer love of killing. But Billy Mink killed that hen simply because he must have something to eat, and one hen was more than enough to furnish him a dinner. When he had finished his dinner he went back to his snug bed under the big woodpile. Of course, when the farmer came out to feed the hens in the morning he discovered what had happened. He didnt know who had killed that hen, but he knew that it must have been some one very small to have got into the henhouse. He hunted about until he found the hole in the dark corner. He knew that that hole had been made by a rat, and at first he thought it must have been rats that killed that hen, and this increased his anger.
