The Black Shadows were still linger- ing in the Green Forest and the Old Orchard as Chatterer the Red Squirrel and Timmy the Flying Squirrel left Chatterer's home tree in the Green For- est and started for Farmer Brown's cornerib. They traveled very differ- ently, although they were own cousins. Chatterer at first traveled in the tree- top<, jumping from one tree to another when they were near enough. When he had reached the edge of the Green Forest he came down to the ground, AWAY HE WENT, GLIDING DOWN ON THE AIR. scurried over to the old stone wall along the edge of the Old Orchard and whisked along on top of this old wall. Now, that method of traveling didn’t suit Timmy the Flying Squirrel at all. Timmy found out in which direction they were going. Then he quickly ran up to the top of the tree from which they were starting and jumped. Away he ‘went, gliding down on airl It was wonderful to see him go. He then alighted on the trunk of a tree far ahead of Chatterer and waited for Chatterer to catch up. Then he did it again. When they reached the Old Orchard, Timmy jumped from apple tree to apple tree, until finally he ar- Daily Cross-Word Puzzle BY THORNTON W. BURGESS rived at the one nearest the end of the old stone wall and on the edge of Farmer Brown's dooryard. It was still almost dark, aithough it was growing lighter every minute. Chatterer joined Timmy. “I guess you won't be able to jump from here over to the corncrib,” said Chatterer. “I guess you'll have to follow me across to that tall tree over there. From there you can easily jump down onto the corneiih. Come along before it gets any lighter.” Timmy shook his head. He shook it most decidedly. “If I can't get over td that corncrib without crossing that open place on the ground, I will go without corn,” said he. “I am willing to take a chance on jumping, but I'm not willing to take a chance on run- ning. I wasn't built for running.” Chatterer Jooked across the dooryard. Many times he had made the run across there. Always he felt a little thrill of excitement when he did it. He under- stood Timmy's feelings. Timmy wasn't built for running. He could hardly blame Timmy now. He looked anx- jously this way and that way. In Farmer Brown's front yard were some tall trees, Timmy saw them at once. “I'll be over there in that maple tree by the corn crib as soon as you are,” said he, and started gliding from tree to tree toward those big trees in the front yard. Chatterer didnt understand what 's plan was, but he took Timmy's hint and scampered across to the big tree over near the corncrib. Hardly was he up in it when Timmy landed near the foot of it and came climbing up. From the Old Orchard he had glided over to one of the big trees in the front yard. From the top of that he had glided to the roof of Farmer Brown's house. He had run along the ridgepole to the back of the house and then had Jum) and glided to the tree in which Chatterer was waiting for him. “Now,” said Timmy, “what about get- ting into that corncrib?” “You jump from here down on the roof,” explained Chatterer. “You run down to the edge of the roof on the other side and hang by your hind feet. Then you will see a piace I have gnawed to get in between two boards.” “All right,” said Timmy. And with- out another word he jumped, landed on the roof of the corncrib and in a mo- ment had disappeared. (Copyright, 1930.) Across, . Burn partially. 5. Viler. Study. . Rodent. 5. Entertain. .

Meugens, a chartered accountant of Birmingham, England, urged that she marry again as quickly as possible. In his will, just filed, he said, “In the event of my wife marrying again, I wish it to be known to all my friends and relations that it is my earnest desire that she should do 50. 1In fact, the more quickiy she thus demonstrates that she finds life intol- erable without a husband, the greater shall T consider this compliment to her memory of me.” MRS.
