T is bad enough to be frightened by real danger, but it is much worse to be constantly frightened by things which in themselves are harmless. It keeps the nerves on edge, so to speak. It is so with a number of little people on the Green “LIV: HERE,” SAID DANNY IN HIS FUNNY, SQUEAKY VOICE.

Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse end their cousin, Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, not to mention their other cousins. Nimbleheels and_ Jumping Mouse, are among these. Keen eyes | are ever watching for them and they know it. They know it, and they know | that one wee minute of carelessness may cost a life. So by day and night they are constantly having frights, some of them without real cause. Peter Rabbit had failed to return to the dear Old Briar-patch before day- light. In fact, daylight found him on the Green Meadows not far from the Smiling Pool and out in the open, where no sensible Rabbit would be in the light of day. But Peter wasn't sen- sible. Who could be, with the joy of Spring in every breath of air? There was too much going on, too much to see, too much to hear, for Peter to think of going back to the dear Old | Briar-patch just because jolly, round, | bright Mr. Sun was climbing up in the blue, blue sky. Quite by chance, Peter had met his old friend, Danny Meadow Mouse. “Hello, Danny!” exclaimed Peter. “It is a long time since we last met. I had begun to fear that something had happened to you. What are you doing way over here?” “Living here,” returned Danny, in his funny, squeaky voice. “Is Nanny with you?” asked Peter. “Of course,” squeaked Danny. “You don’t think I would be way over here without her, do you?” ‘I don't see her anywhere,” said Peter, looking all about. “She is at home with the babies,” replied Danny. “And where is that?” inquired Peter. “Peter,” sald Danny, “we are old friends, but now you have asked me something which really is none of your business.” Peter chuckled. “Supposing I find it?” said he. 1 “That will be another matter™ squeaked Danny. “What is wrong now? You look as if you are fright- ened. What is it?” Peter was sitting up. Now he sud- denly crouched and flattened himself on the ground as much as he could. Danny was right. Peter did look fright- | ened. He was frightened. For once in | his life he envied Danny. The latter, | without waiting for a reply, had crawled under some dead grass. “A Hawk,” whispered Peter. “I saw the shadow sweeping over the grass straight toward us.” Never had Peter felt more helpless than now. Here he was right out where the grass was short. There was noth- ing to hide behind or under. To take to his long heels would be useless, for he knew that the swift wings of any | of the Hawk family could overtake him long before he could reach shelter. So instantly, without waiting long enough to look up to see which Hawk was making that frightful shadow, he had flattened himself. It was the one and only thing to do. If he had been seen he might escape. If he had been seen, well, it would be just too bad. Yes, sir, it would be just too bad for | Peter. Anyway, he thought it would. He shivered as the shadow of great, | broad wings swept over him and | seemed to pause for a minute. And Danny Meadow Mouse shivered, too. (Copyright. 1933 Pot Roast With Noodles.

F some one should ask you, “What is a lion?” you might reply, “A big cat thai roars.” Lions are members of the cat family, and they are the only mem- bers which are able to roar. African lions are known as savage beasts, but it would be a mistake to fancy that they always go raging about, looking for victims. Most of their hunting is done at night. Unless & lion is very hungry, or is wounded, he is not likely to attack a man. Yery often a well-fed lion can be sent about his business if a man tosses a stick at him or makes a loud noise. Most lions try to steer clear of people. their victims being zebras or other ani- mals which cannot fight back very well; but some lions make a practice of tacking men, and are known as “man- caters.” They steal upon sleeping peo- ple, and carry them off. Two British soldiers in Southern Africa once set out on horseback to make a journey through Mashonaland. They were bound for the village of Salisbury, 70 miles away. When darkness came, the troopers tied their horses to a tree, built a campfire and prepared a meal for them- selves. After eating, they lay down be- side the fire to sleep. Beasts of the forest usually are afraid to come close to a fire; but the fire which the soldiers had built prob- ably died down, for a lion came slip- ping toward the sleeping men. He seized one of them in his great jaws, and started dragging him away. “Help! Help!” cried the poor fellow. “A lion has got me!” His companion sprang to his feet and picked up his rifle. Then he ran in the direction from which the cries were | coming. He was afraid to shoot at the lion, lest THE SLEEPING MAN WAS SEIZED BY THE LION. | but he fired twice into the air. hoping | that the noise would frighten the beast. Sure enough! At the sound of the shots, the lion dropped his victim and ran away. Except for wounds in his shoulder, from the teeth of the lion, the man had not been injured. After being treated | at the hospital in Salisbury, he recov- ered.
