Text Appearing Before Image:
elieve it myself. V IN FEATHERS AND FUR 17 In Sumatra there are Squirrels living in groves that becomequite tame. If you hold out your hand with crumbs in it, they willcome down from the trees and take it from your fingers. That isbecause they have never been teazed and killed by the people, sothey have not learned to be afraid of them. How long do you suppose Squirrels would be tame when youAmerican boys could get at them ? There are several kinds of squirrels in our country, as youcountry children know well enough. No doubt you have had manya long chase after one of the saucy little fellows, only to see himleap from the top of the rail fence into the branches of a tree, anddisappear among the leaves. City youngsters who stand before shop windows to watch thepretty little creatures turning those frightful revolving cages, havelittle idea of their beauty in their native woods. Perhaps the prettiest, and at any rate the oddest variety, is theflying squirrel, of which here is a picture.
Text Appearing After Image:

This is the only sort of a wing he has, and that is the whole of his flying,—simply a little bolder leap than the rest of his family. IN FEATHERS AND FUR. 19
