Once more the stranger dodged successfully. Once more Spooky turned and was back after | the fleeing mouse. “Run, run, run!” squeaked Danny. ‘The stranger was running.

Danny had had 2 very good reason for darting back. He had had an extremely good reason for dart- ing back. He had seen what the stranger whom he was chasing had not seen. He had seen what appeared like two shadows—one in the air and the other on the snow—both moving. One really was a shadow. The other was Spooky the Screech Owl.

The strange Meadow | Mouse was headed straight back. ~ You | see, when he dodged he had to go in some new direction and he hadn't been able to keep on toward the old stone wall. Had there been any openings down under the snow, he would have | been all right. But there were none. The nearest hole that that strange Meadow Mouse knew of was the one that Danny was peeping out from and watching him. | Danny saw him coming and he was | a little dismayed. He wondered what | he should do now. If that stranger should come back, would he, Danny, drive him out again? But the stranger didn’t come back. He was half way there when once more Spooky swooped. This time Spooky flew away and he car. ried with him the strange Mouse. IVE FOUND'L’ HIM AREADY!

Yet there isn't anything I can do.” Then he began to say un- der his breath, “Run, run, run!” just as if the stranger could hear him. ‘The ‘mfir was running. He was running with all his might. Danny guessed that he had discovered who was | y, after him. Suddenly Spooky swooped. Spooky missed. Danny was glad. Yes, sir, Danny was glad. In spite of the fact that only a few minutes before he had been fighting that stranger with all his might, he was glad when Spooky missed. You see, the stranger had dodged. sir, he carried with him the strang Mouse. Danny was both sorry and glad. Of course, he was sorry that the stranger was caught. At the same time, was gled that he was not going to have any further trouble with that stranger. ‘There was a squeaky voice just below Danny. It was the voice of Nanny Meadow Mouse. “Has the stranger gone?” squeaked Nanny. | Danny scrambled down beside her, | ~Yes, my dear,” said he, “the stranger | has gone.’ “Is he likely to come back?” inquired anny. “No,” replied Danny, “no, I don’t think we’ll ever see him again. I think he has gone away for good.” “For whose good?” Nanny asked. “For the good of all concerned ex- cepting himself,” replied Danny, and he wouldn't say 2 word more. (Copyright, 1929.)
