Waiting mice are curious and inter esting
little animals. They are not quite SO long

slender. They are spotted black and white
at each end Of their bodies and are clear
white in the middle. They whirl around
on their four feet az II on a pivot sometimes
stopping and reversing the direction. Ere
Quently i see two or three Of them going
around together in large circle. Although
they waltz sometimes 9s long as five minutes
without rest they appear never to get dizzy
They can. IL they choose. run in a straight
line. but they seldom do. Instead Of running
away when disturbed or frightened. they
begin to waltz. They come out Of their
nests about shutdown and waltz until nearly
midnight. Then they 90 back TO their nests
to sleep.
One OF the curious things about them ia

into each other, when they bite, squeal,
