Danny Meadow Mouse Has a
Secret.

It's fun to have a secret,
So be that 1t Is good,
And have your friends all try to guess
And vainly wish they could.
Bad secrets are like the little worm
inside the rosebud-they gnaw and gnaw
until they ruin the heart. But good Sc
crets are little springs Of happiness that
make every day little brighter and
more joyful because the heart is treas
uring something good and pleasant. Ask
Danny Meadow Mouse. He knows. He
has had a good many nice secrets In
fact Danny has to keep a great many
things secret You see. he is such a
very little fellow, and all about him are
SO many who are bigger and stronger
than he Is. some who, like Old Man
Coyote and Reddy and Granny Fox and
Whitehall the Hawk and Hooty the Owl.
would like nothing better than to catch
him and gobble him up. and others who.
like some Of his own relatives. would
steal all his supplies If they found them,
that almost everything he does has to be
secret.
But Danny doesn't mind. o. my. no!
Danny doesn't mind at all. 1t is rather
exciting to have secrets Of that kind all
your very own and see other people try
ing to find them out and not being able
to. So Danny cuts secret little paths
through the meadow grass, SO that when
danger is near he can quickly slip to
safety. And he finds secret hiding places
for the seeds he stores away for hard
times And he has secret playgrounos'
where he feels almost perfectly safe In
fact, almost everything he does. Danny
Laons eecret He even keeps his troubles
secret, which is a very good plan. But
one thing he doesn't keep secret. and that
is his happiness. When Danny is happy
he doesn't care who knows it And that,
of course. is the way to do, for happi-
ness is catching.
Just now. Danny Meadow Mouse was
particularly happy, The Merry Little

Frank was the youngest. The family
reslgnedly agreed that was his excuse,

tidiousness in the matter of scents, socks,
cravats and other trif1es to which most
men give only casual attention Frank

neither fnicky nor elegant. he merely ex-
ercised proper self-respect. His brother
Joe, who bought a new pair of shoes only
when his old ones wore out and then
merely from a disagreeable sense Of duty,
told him that his self-respect was as
frothy as his taste and needed anesthet-
les instead of exercise. His father said
that he'd like to dump the young sissy on
a farm where he'd have to wear overalls
and wooden socks.
