Sudden fright doth reason shaki And of the bravest foolt doth make. —Old Mother Nature ADDY, the young Toad who had come up from the Smiling | Pool to live in Farmer Brown's garden, was happy. He felt that he had found his place in the Great World. By night and on damp or rainy days, he and the other Toads in the garden hunmrl1 worms and insects. By day, when | the sun was shining, they dosed in cool comfort under a wide board pro- vided for them in a shady corner of the garden. i Taddy was growing fast. Such an | appetite as he had! Four big meals every 24 hours he needed and usually got. He had learned to be very skill- Nothing Doing!

Very skiliful, very skillful indeed, THE TIMID SOUL. —By WEBSTER | |in using that fongue had Taddy be- come. At first he had had trouble in judging distance. Sometimes he didn't get near enough to the insect he wanted and when he shot his tongue out, he missed. Again, he would try to get too close and the prize would fly or run away. But after a time he got 80 that he rarely missed. Any fly or insect alighting within reach of that tongue was as good as caught then and there. You see that tongue was sticky. The tongues of all Toads are that way. When one of them touches s victim the latter sticks to the tongue and, like a flash, is drawn back into the ! mouth. Then, too, Taddy had remembered the lesson Old Mr. Toad had given him in the use of his hands to push into his mouth things that otherwise he would have difficulty in getting far enough in to swallow, earthworms, for instance. S0 Taddy was a plump, smart young Toad, happy and oon- tented and with few worries. It was very different there in Farmer Brown's GAY, | DON'T EVEN WANT YO TALK YO YOU! come ON, BRIARSIE / IF MR.

Now, under that same wide board in the shady corner lived Old Mr. Toad, who, although none of them knew it, was the father of Taddy and some of the other young Toads living there. Taddy greatly admired Old Mr. Toad and learned much just by watching him. It was hard for him to believe that Old Mr. Toad could be afraid of anything. 80 he hardly believed his eves when, as he started out just about sunset one afternoom, he met Old Mr. Toad returning faster than he ever had seen Old Mr. Toad move before. Hop, hop, hop, hippety-hop, came Old Mr. Toad, and crept under the board and clear to the back side. There was fright in the eyes of Old Mr. Toad. There was no doubt about HAVENT You HEARD THE NEws?

He was afraid without the least idea of what it was he was afraid of. 80 Taddy turned about and hur- riedly crept back under that board, but he didn’t go to the back side. He remained where he could peep out, for, being young and full of curiosity, despite his fright he wanted to see who or what had so frightened Old Mr. Toad.
