Conducted by Eleanor Schorer Woodland Wonder Tales By Cousin Eleanor HY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?” HE first thing that Billy Bright- eyes did after having break- fasted ‘was to go over to see Perky, the Long-Tatled Jumping Mouse, Billy Brighteyes had not seen this little friend since the day they went to the circus togethér and he wondered how Perky was getting on. So he sauntered over to Chipp's bur- row, where Perky, the Long-Tatled Jumping Mouse, had been making his home, and found, not Perky, but Chippie, bustling about the place in hig usual excited way. “Well, hello, Chippie, I'm glad to see you again. It’s been a long time,” said Billy Brighteyes heartily, “al- most halt @ year.” “How do you do. Has it been as long as that?” repited Chipple, bow- ing coldly. “why, Chippie, what's the matter?” asked Billy Brighteyos, very sur- its Then he’ realized that Perky was nowhere in sight and inquired, here is Perky?" “Where, indeed?” sniffed Chippie, and Billy Brighteyes knew that he had hit upon the key to the trouble, “{ don't know where that Long- Tailed Jumping Mouse is and, what's more, I don't care,” snapped Chippie. “The idea of that little nobody com- fmg into my house when I was deep in my winter sleep. Why, he's no bet- ter than a thief—he is a thief!" de- clared Chippie excitedly. “He stole auts from my stores and when I woke up there was nothing to eat in the place, And to crown !t all he made me prisoner. That little scary-cat had barricaded the doorway until it was too small for me to get through and out into the spring sunshine.” “He had the doorway barricaded #0 tt Willy Weasel could not get rough and into your house. Don't forget that, Chippie Chipmunk,” Billy Brighteyes defended. “What are you talking Chippie asked “['m talking about the time when about?” Willy Weasel was still wearing his white winter whiskers, when food ‘was scarce in the woodland and even porcupine dinner would have tasted od to some folk,” answered Billy ighteyes. “well, what about that time?” Chippie was interested. “That was when Perky, the Long- Tatled Jumping Mouse, built up your doorway and kept Willy Weasey from eating both you and him,” Billy told him, “What!” exclaimed Chippie. “Do you mean to say that that little long- tatled, long-legged mouse has saved my life?” “That is exactly what I mean to say,” answered Billy Brighteyes. .“Gracious me! Gracious me! This {gs terrible,” worried Chippie. “And to think that I turned him away only yesterday,” he grieved. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner, Billy Brighteyes? It’s not fair not to have let me know about these things.” “Oh, don't fret so, old thing,” said Billy Brighteyes. ‘We'll go make it all right. We'll go together to see Perky and explain things. He'll understand.” “But where will we find him?” Chippie wanted to know “Didn't he say where he was g0- ing? asked Billy Brighteyes. “The truth is, I didn't give him a chance,” Chippie confessed. “Oh, Billy Brighteyes, I’m sorry, so sorry." “That's all right, I tell you. Buck up and we'll go find him.” “Do you think we can?” asked Chippie. “Why, of course we can,” Billy Brighteyes assured him, and away they went on a hunt for their friend Perky, Mouse. the Long-Tailed Jumping Dear Kiddie Kins: There are 6o many things to talk about, Perhaps we had best begin on our! favorite topic, the Saturday Kiddie Klub Korner. I am glad to hear that you like it so well. Your letters have been sweet. I want to thank you for them. It is a great deal more fun for me to fashion a big Kiddie Klub Korner for you when I know you too en- joy it and that you are reading and glipping out the features you fancy ‘most. The Novelties of the Saturday Kiddie Klub Korner printed on glossy, white p: will be mailed readers on receipt of a 5-cent stamp for each feature. The story and pictures of “Around the World and What Alice Found” will make Address Cousin World. leanor, Evening The April contest closes this week, Friday the 28th. If your essay or poem has not yet been sent, do not delay longer, Think what a pity it would be, for instance, to have it come one day late. Of course no contest award can be given except to contestants who state their ages, And it is almost equally important to know the age of the author of every contribution sent to the Kiddie Klub Korner. So, when sending contributions of any deserip- tion, please be careful to tell your age. * Age has a great deal to do with the worth of a poem, drawing or essay. A thing that would be a really clev plece of work for a ten-year-old mem. ber might be only fairly good if done by a boy or girl of say, fifteen, you know. My best love to you, my cousins. Write me as soon as you find time and tell me something about your- selves, Then, if you like, I will tell all our other cousins about it through the Kiddie Klub Korner, Your ever-interested COUSIN ELEANOR.
