He was gone most of the day , and when he started back home he was in the best of spirits , for his stores had not been found by any one else . He was in such good spirits that for once he quite forgot Shadow the Weasel . He was just going to pop into his doorway without first looking inside , a very foolish thing to do , when he heard some one calling him . He turned to see Tommy Tit the Chickadee hurrying towards him , and it was very clear that Tommy was greatly excited . `` Hello , Tommy Tit ! What ails you ? '' exclaimed Happy Jack . `` Do n't go in there , Happy Jack ! '' cried Tommy Tit . `` Shadow the Weasel is in there waiting for you ! '' Happy Jack turned quite pale . `` Are you sure ? '' he gasped . Tommy Tit nodded as if he would nod his head off . `` I saw him go in , and he has n't come out , for I 've kept watch , '' said he . `` You better get away from here before he knows you are about . '' That was good advice , but it was too late . Even as Tommy Tit spoke , a sharp face with red , angry eyes was thrust out of Happy Jack 's doorway . It was the face of Shadow the Weasel .
