      This is a scene from "Tree Trick," a short one-page gag by Carl 
Barks which appeared around U$ 30 (I don't have the exact issue number 
available right now).  Scrooge gets his money past the Beagles by 
disguising it as a tree -- a funny gag, marred only by rather poor 
drawing of the Beagles on Carl's part (they look about ten years younger 
than usual).  Harry, can you give us the issue number?
