BURGESS. ADDY was a small Toad, a very small Toad, indeed. Had there been a 10-cent piece for him to sit on he could have sat on it comfortably, with plenty of room to spare. Being so tiny, natur- ally he was delicate. It was hard to believe that one so small and so delicate could face successfully the perils of the Great World. But Taddy was facing them, and so were thou- sands of other little Toads of just his age and size. They had turned their backs on the Smiling Pool, where they had been born and for a few short weeks had lived as Tadpoles Now, like a small army, they were marching out onto the Green Mead- V' 80Y, OM SOY/ RECKON THIG'LL COOK HIGB NS’ ©O0SL, EN ?

And, of course, none knew anything about the Great World. | They would have to learn as they | went along. They left the Smiling Pool in per- | fect Toad weather. A warm rain | was falling gently. It felt good to their delicate skins. You see, thev | had been living in water, and, of | course, that meant that they alway: had moist skins. They had gone but | & little way when the first of the | perils of the Great World appeared | in the persons of Blacky the Crow and his flock. birds, huge and dreadful giants 1o the tiny toads, finally flew away the Journey had already ended for many of the little travelers. From now on all those who remained would al- ways keep their eyes open for Blacky the Crow and his friends. Now, such very small folk could | not go far without stopping to rest. | So they would hop a little way and | rest: hop a little farther and rest. | It was fun, and it was very excit- ing. Of course, everything was new !and therefore strange. The fright | given them by the Crows was soor. | forgotten and the army of tiny Toads moved on to take possession | of the Great World Anyway, it | seemed as if that was what they | meant to do. ‘ After a time the rain ceased fall- | ing.

So the little Toads kept on, hopping, resting, hopping, rest- ing. They didn't know where they were going, but they were on their way and eager to keep on. Taddy Was up among the leaders. Along toward noon the clouds parted and Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun smiled down on the Green Meadows, and his smile was very, very warm. It took all the dampness from the air. It dried all the grasses. Now, when jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun first peeped through a hole in the clouds Taddy remembered some- thing. He remembered that Old Mr. Toad told him that there is sure death to tiny Toads in the smile of Jjolly, round, bright Mr. Sun, if he smiles on them too long. The warmth of that smile will dry their skins Just as it dries other things, and Toads must keep their skins moist. So when the first little Sunbeam shot down and touched Taddy he began looking around. He was look- ing for something to crawl under where no Sunbeam could reach him. He found a plece of a shingle that had been left on the Green Meadows when the flood had passed in the 8pring. Taddy crept under it and flattened himself on the ground. The ground was cool and damp. He felt very comfortable, indeed. He could peep out from under that bit of shingle. Every few minutes a little Toad would go hopping past. None even glanced at his hiding place. Mr. Sun disappeared and Taddy wondered if perhaps he hadn't been & little hasty in following that re- membered advice of Old Mr. Toad's But presently Mr. Sun was shin- ing agein, shining his brightest. Some of the little Toads hopping past were beginning to pant. They looked most uncomfortable. Some were wisely beginning to creep un- der anything that would cover them, sticks, chips, leaves, matted grass, anything that would shield them from Mr. Sun’'s too-warm smile. Taddy was glad he had stopped when e dide When the big biack | “KEEP RELIEF IT IS TO g HAVE A DAY OFF Y AND GET AWAY FROM TH' TWINS FOR A , CHANGE! --HE HELD OUT] EMMAS BET ON_GOLDMINE AND 1T PAID $96.80 !
