That even in the winter, when his brown coat turns white as snow, so as to fool folks and make him difficult to see, and they call him Mr. Ermine, his tall tip stays black. But that day! He was perfectly dreadful, he acted so smart, and the others, altho not #0 mean themselves, began. to act as he did. You know % only takes one naughty boy to Bpget a whole school and that's the | way it Was that day in Meadow Grove. ‘The corners were all full and the dunce caps all used up: there were about 40 names on the blackboard for staying tn and doing words after | school, and I'm sorry to have to say but poor Nancy was driven to king Bud Beaver to please go and ‘bite off m birch-rod ne her. N.E. A) Danny Meadow Mouse Plays Hide and Seek IFE is always a game of hide and seek to Danny Meadow Mouse. You see, he is such @ fat little fellow that there are a great many other furry-coated people, and almost as| many who wear feathers, who would, | ff they could, gobble Danny up for| breakfast or for dinner. Some of} them pretend to be his friends, but Danny always keeps his eyes open when they are around and always be-| gins to play hide and seek ‘eter | Rabbit, and Johnny Churek nd} Striped Chipmunk, and Happy Jack | Squirrel are al! friends whom he can/ ‘trust, but he always has a bright,| twinkling eye open for Reddy Fox, and Billy Mink, and Shadow the Weasel, und Old Whitetail the Marsh Hawk, and several more, especially Hooty the Ow! at night. 3 Now, Danny Meadow Mouse is a stout-hearted little fellow, and when rough Brother North Wind came) shouting across the Green Meadows, | tearing to pieces the snow clouds and shaking out these snowflakes until they covered the Green Meadows deep, deep, deep, Danny just snug gied down in his warm coat in his warm little house of grass and wait ed. Yes, sir; Danny Meadow Mouse Mked the snow. He just loved to dig in it and make tunnels, Thru those tunnels in every direction he could go where he pleased and when he pleased without being seen by anybody. It was grew fun! Every littie way he made a little rornd doorway up the side of a stiff stalk of grass, out of which he could peep at the white world, and where he could get fresh cold air, Some times, when he wag quite sure that No one was around, he would scam per across on top of thé snow from one doorway to another, and when he did this he made the prettiest lit- tle footprints. Now, Reddy Fox knew al] about these doorways and who made them. Reddy was having hard work to get enough to eat this cold weather, and he was hungry most of the time One morning as he came tiptoeing softly over the meadows what should he se just ahead of him but the head of Danny Meadow Moune pop out of one of thone little round door-| ways. Reddy's mouth watered and he stole forw ever, When he got within jumping | distance he drew his stout hind legs under him and made ready to spring Presto! Danny Meadow Mouse had disappeared! Reddy Fox jumped just the same and began to dig as fast as he could make his paws go. He could smell Danny Meadow Mouse, and that made him almost frantic. All the time Danny Meadow Mouse | | was scurrying along one of his little | tunnels, and when finally Reddy stopped digging because he was quite out of breath, Danny popped his head out of another little door way and Inughed ‘at Reddy. © Reddy tried to catch him there and dug frantically just as be- fore. And, of course, Dgnny Meadow Mouse wasn't there After a while Reddy Fox grew tired of this kind of a game and tried another plan, The next time he saw Danny Meadow Mouse stick hin hedd S course, He stretched himself out on the ground and pretended that he was very tired and sleepy. He closed his eyes, Then he opened them just the tiniest bit, so that he could see Dan ny Meadow Moune and yet seem to be asleep, Danny watched him for a long time. Then he chuckled to him self and dropped out of wight, No sooner had he gone than Reddy Fox stole over close to the little doorway and waited. “He'll surely stick his head out again to wee if I'm asleep, and then I'll have him,” @aid Reddy to himself, 80 he waited and waited and waited, By and by he turned his head. There| was Danny Meadow Mouse at an- other little doorway laughing at him!
