I 1t took quite deal Of talking on the
part of Danny to make Nanny agree, but
she has a very shrewd little head, and
after a while she did agree. But hrst
she made Danny promise to be ever SO
careful and keep out Of the way OF all

about and secret path through the tallest
grass to his old home. OF course, he
didn't do this all in one day. Oh. my.
no! The first time he scampered to MS
old home without any regular path. but
all the time taking the greatest care not

And then Danny went about his busi-
ness just as If he hadn't the most delight

finally left him he was hard at work on a
new path which started off in quite the
opposite direction from his new home.
Wouldn't Peter have been surprised If he
had known that that was to be the very
secret little path which would lead in a
roundabout way to Danny's wonderful
new home and Nanny Meadow Mouse?

day.
THE church too often has been salts

rock of Christian character will stand.

Those who had sandwiches took them
