Mouse was her mouth watered. for you
see now that snow covered the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest Granny
and Reddy Fox had hard WORK to get
enough to eat. and they were hungry
most of the time.
I'll go with you down on the meadows
tomorrow morning and then we'll see if
Danny Meadow Mouse is as smart as he
thinks he is said Granny Fox
So bright and early the next morning
old Granny Fox and Reddy Fox went
down on the meadows where Danny
in his bones that Reddy would come back
SO he was watching and he saw them as
soon as they came out of the Green
Forest. When he saw old Granny Fox
Danny's heart beat a little faster than
before. for he knew that Granny Fox is
ed most of the tricks of all the other
little meadow and forest people
This is going to be a more exciting
game than the other" said Danny to him
self. and scurried down out of sight to
see that all his little tunnels were clear
if he had to. Then he peeped out of
one of his little doorways hidden in a
clump Of tall grass.
Old Granny Fox set Reddy to hunting
for Danny's little round doorways. and
fast as he found them Granny came
she could tell by the smell which one he
had been at last. Finally she came
straight toward the tall bunch of grass.
Danny ducked down and scurried along
one of his little tunnels. He heard Gran
ny Fox sniff at the doorway he had just
left. Suddenly something plunged down
through the snow right at his very heels.
Danny didn't have to look to know that
it was Granny Fox herself and he
squeaked with fright.

Danny Meadow Mouse hadn't enjoyed
anything SO much for a long time as he
did the game of hide and seek which
he had been playing with Reddy Fox.
He tickled and chuckled all the after
noon as he thought about it. OF course,
Reddy had been it He had been
lit all the time, for never once had he
caught Danny Meadow Mouse. Ii he
had-well. there wouldn't have been any
more stories about Danny Meadow Mouse
because there wouldn't have been any
Danny Meadow Mouse any more.
But Danny never let himself think
about this. He had enjoyed the game
all the more because it had been such a
dangerous game. 1T had been such fun
to dive into one of his little round door
ways in the snow, run along one of his
own little tunnels. and then peep out al
another doorway and watch Reddy Fox
digging as fast ever he could at the
doorway Danny had just left. Finally
Reddy had given up in disgust and gone
off muttering angrily to try to find some
thing else for dinner. Danny had sat
up on the snow and watched him go. In

ut might not be amiss at this time to
add some of the horrible conditions which
prevail in those mills, citing, for an Illus
tration, the men working in the wire

their reports of wages received. In many
instances find they get II and II

years. On one occasion Mr.. Bryan
would have made it a national issue
and it was due to his efforts that the
prohibition legislation in Nebraska was
put into effect.
