Belgium where the unexpected stand made by the Bel

the form of rejoicing over the reported
Belgian successes. The greater num-

were Belgians and Frenchmen, who
carried the flags of their countries
and cheered nightly.
The business section Of the town
displayed few flags and even soldiers
marched through the streets without
attracting special notice. An onlooker
said:

This is the time of year when one

Danny Meadow Mouse was almost
crazy. Yes, sir, Danny was almost
crazy. So was Nanny Meadow Mouse.
Little Mite, the smallest and %srnarteat
Of their four babies, was nowhere to
be found. No one, knew what had be-
come of him. They looked in every
the pile of old corn stalks where their
home a and they called and called.
Then it was that either, Teeny, Weeny
or Midget, I don't know which, told
Danny how Mite had said hat some
day he would slip away and see the
Great World, and how Mite often had
slipped out from under the corn
stalks and explored Danny's private
little paths for a little way, although
he had been forbidden to. Then
Danny was sure hat little Mite had
run away, and though he wouldn't
have had Nanny know it for the
world. he didn't have the least bit OF
hope of ever seeing Mite again. You
see, he Knew all about the sharp eyes
of hungry neighbors all the time
watching for careless Meadow Mice,
and he knew that little Mite didn't
know how to fool them.
So Danny told Nanny not to worry
and that he would go look for Mite
and bring him home. Nanny said
that she would try not to worry; but,
of course, she couldn't help worrying
some. In fact, she worried terribly,
but she tried to hide it from Danny
as he started off to look for the lost
baby. Now, Danny hadn't the least
idea where to look. He knew that
probably little Mite had started off
along one of the private little paths.
but there We're many, very many, pri-
waite little paths. and. of. course, Dan
ny didn't have the least idea which
n to take. So he ran along ono,
then another, and another, all the
time calling in his funny little
squeaky voice for Mite. Every few
steps he would stop to listen for a
reply. But not once did he hear a
reply. The reason was that he was
going in quite a different direction
from the one taken by his lost baby.
"Oh, dear, il only I could be in
several places at the same time!'
