HOW THE MICE BECAME WHITE.

Once upon time there was a fine
young couple of gray mice set up house
keeping in the cellar of a grand old
mansion. There were many nice things
10 eat stored in this cellar, and from
appearances Mr.. and Mrs. Gray Mouse
would live all their lives down there in
plenty without having to go foraging
about for food.
They built their nest N a nice, dark
corner. where they could have slept
even at bright MONDAY. mad they de-
sired TO do SO. for II was always the
color OF midnight there. The nest-or
bed. you might call twas made of the
most exquisite materials mortal mouse
ever beheld- 1t was composed OF bits
of rich velvets. soft satlns. rare old lace
and dainty linen These materials were
found by Mr. and Mrs. Graz Nous. in
n huge oaken chest that was stored in
rauited underground chamber leading
from the cellar. One day In their RAM
blingS about their domain they CHANGED
10 spy this chest. ana straightway laid
their sharp teeth to one OF its corners.
the result was that soon they had Il
door into the chest that would admit
their bodies. So. in they went and found
quiet home. He determined TO go out
abou; the big house on an exploring ex-
petition.
So one night he crept from his COM
fSrtaoie and safe home and went forth

hve nice, little gray mice AS the little
ones grew into big mice one of the sons
became restless and dissatisfied with his
ants. sticking their noses into every cor
ner that mouse might creep into. But
they never once peeped behind the great
wine cask where Mr.. and Mrs. Grey
Mouse with their family were located.
AFTER going pretty thoroughly over the
cellar the two servants entered the
vaulted underground chamber and dis
covered the mouse hole eaten In the
oaken chest. ''Ah. hal" said one The
little pests have been here" Then they
picked up the chest and carried IL above
stairs. Then woman servant came
hurrying down into the cellar and busted
herself at something In the corner
where the chest had stood. Now. my
small friends, We'll see how you like
that. she said And then she departed
That evening as soon as II was dark
the two parents slipped from behind the
wine cask and hurried to the vaulted
underground chamber to ascertain what
had occupied the woman servant there
in the afternoon. AS they drew near
the place their noses detected the same
sweet smell that had led their venture
some son to bite through the cheese pa
per in the pantry. Mr.. Grey Mouse
ran at once to the spot where the de-
licious odor came from and cried out
jcyously 10 his wife: My dear, here's
