shifting about the base of the corn
shock and saying:
You fooled me once: you fooled me
twice:
But you will never fool me thrice.
AS sure it is as rain is wet
III get you. Mr.. Smarty,~ yet"
This worried Nanny great deal, but
Danny only laughed. Never in all his
life had he felt so safe. No one could
get him in that cornshock, and he
didn't need to leave it at all, because.
YOU know, there was plenty to eat
right there. SO Danny rather enjoyed
watching Reddy and Granny Fox and
Old Man Coyote hanging around and
trying all sorts of plans to catch him.
But one dav as Danny was sitting
where he could peep out and see what
was going on he discovered something
strange and very terrible. Down at
the farther end of the cornfield were
two trem mendous four-leeged creatures,
and behind them strange thing which
moved when they moved, but which
had in place of legs four round things
that turned over and over. OF course
YOU have guessed what Danny saw-a
pair of horses and a wagon. They were
the first he ever had seen, and you can
guess how strange and terrible they
looked to him, because they were SO
big and he was SO small.
Then he saw Farmer Brown and
Farmer BfO"nS S boy. lie Rne" tnem
because he had seen them on the Green
Meadows. But the thing that fright
ened him most was the discovery of
what they were doing. Farmer Brown
and Farmer Browns boy were piling
those cornshocks on that wagon. When
there was a great pile on the wagon it
moved away and disappeared up to-
ward Farmer Browns house. What
did it mean? Would they take all the
corn? IF so. what was to become of
Nanny and himself?
DANNY was worried, very much wor-
ried. But he didn't tell Nanny what
he had seen. He would wait. Perhaps
they wouldn't take all the corn. SO
he said nothing, but he spent great
deal of his time up where he could see
out over the cornfield Later that day
he saw another load taken away and
once more his heart sank. But the
next day nothing happened and the
next nothing happened. Danny began
to hone that after all his castle was as
safe as he had thought it would be.

A Strange and Terrible Thing
Happens.

Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
had been established-which means
settled-in their new home in Farmer
Browns cornf1eld for some time before
any of their hungry enemies discov-
cred them. You know they had made
a Meadow Mouse castle out of a shock
of corn. their house right in the heart
of it. But they couldn't remain undls-
covered forever. No one could. They
might have remained undiscovered
longer than they did had Danny been
content to stay right in that shock
where they had made their home. But
he wasn't. He just had to visit other
shocks to see if they were as good as
his own.
1t was because of this that Reddy
Fox found out where Danny and Nan
ny had moved to. He had missed them
over on the Green Meadows and 1t had
puzzled him a great deal For several
days he had hunted them there With
out ever getting single smell or them;
and this was something he never had
known to happen before. But when
very early one morning on his way
through Farmer Browns cornheld ne
smelled Dannys tracks and followed
them to one of the shocks OF corn ne
guessed right away what Danny ana
Nanny had done. and he grinned. He
would waste no more time hunting for
them in the Green Meadows.
1t took Reddy some time to ma out
in which shock Danny and Nanny were
living You see. Danny's tracks led to
several shocks. But at last Reddy
found out and after that he and Gran

OF Interest TO Women
SKATING CRAZE CREATES NEW FASHIONS
BY ANNE R1TTENHoUsE.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2.-Whenever
New Workers have finished talking
about the doubtful election, the terrific
condition of New York streets. the
frightening rise in food prices and the
gossip lags Bit they ask each other If
skating will really oust dancing.
There is to be a very notable party
given on 5th avenue by a hostess. who,
with multi-millions behind her. has
waited her own time to entertain in
a large majority. In discussing the
nature of the entertainment to be given
at her party, she said she would have
the best orchestra after long dinner
and let every one dance. a social ad-
wiser of high repute threw up her hands
in dismay and said, Dancing! Why.
that's as old as Nictorianism. Your
guests won't remain one hour You
must think of something better Have
the conservatory turned into an ice
pond. get Charlotte OF the Hippodrome
take their chances"
The hostess is yet bit obstinate
about this turn in the tide of fashion
gaVetv for she likes dancing, does it
well and has feeling that if she's go
ing to spend thousands for this party
she would like to enjoy one hour of 1t
at least.
Afternoon Dancing Wanes.
That there has been dunness in the
places where afternoon dancing is fea-
tured, no one can deny; but. the ad
vocates of this rhythmic movement de-
clare, the autumn is usually given over
to country life and strenuous dancing
does not begin until the Christmas holi-
days.
1t may be that afternoon dancing is
on the Wane because of lack of men,
but it does not seem possible that even
ing entertainments will be given with
out a chance at the dance. AS for dane
ing. there is no doubt of the fashion,
able pinnacle on which it is placed, but
the serious objection to it is that one
must be caught young to learn the
game. Curious some of our middle
aged dancers have looked on the floor,
it is absolute beauty to what they look
when trying to skate. Middle age has
not the fearlessness of youth, and
therefore. it does not approach skating
with enthusiasm. The great number Of
broken arms. twisted ankles and in
jured hips that followed the first mad
fashion for skating in this country has
not been forgotten. and it is doubtful
if the pastime will ever be as universal
as dancing.
| Iceland. however, is the last cry in
the fashionable world of New York for
indoor sport This is an exclusive skat-
ing rink, with all manner of music,
food and good clothes on the side.
The smart younger set have been busy
for a month forming clubs for differ
ent days and their example has been
followed by others between the two
oceans so that more skating rnks with
private clubs have been opened on this
continent than ever before. London,
Paris and Berlin have cared more for
skating than dancing for over decade

Beating the Shifting Sands.

Confronted by the task of building a
highway over q desert of constantly
shifting sands, which in a few years
might cover and render useless a road
bed of macadam or concrete, the Cali
fOrnia highway commission has intro
duced type of paving which is port
able, so that it can be easily moved to
conform to the changing topography of
the country. Popular Mechanics Maya
zine describes the paving as made of
plank, built in sections IL feet long
and feet wide, and hauled by wagons
to the points where it is needed. This
unused thOrOughfare extends six miles
across portion of the desert
lying between Yuma, Ariz., and
HOltville, Cal. The plank sections
are built on by 6-inch stringers. The
units are bound together by iron
strips placed over rows of spikes, one
either side and one along the center
of the road. ROundheaded bolts rum
ming through the planks and stringers
are used to hold the strips down. The
latter, in addition to joining the units
together. keep :he spikes from working
out of the lumber.

Convalescence.

The return from illness 10 health IS
like coming up from a dive, supposing
the time from when the swimmer first
sees light through the water until his
head rises to the surface to be the
affair of weeks. The change in phys
ical condition may be slow, but the
change in Orientation takes place in
a twinkling and is complete. The eye
no longer looks down into unplumbed
deeps, but back toward the light of
day; curiosity for the ultimate yields
TO golden memory of familiar things
friends, household goods, books,
barking dogs, the freshness of grass
and trees. The body has reasserted
itself. The dreaming Imagination is
dragged away from its goal by the
gallOping senses. Eye, ear, touch,
taste start upon rampage. Especially
does the appetite for food WAX furious,
discovering itself endowed with power
TO transform a coddled egg into some
thing rich and strange, and to illumlne
chicken broth with a charm that no
art can equal. The universe, lately
shrunk to the sickroom, now rises
again like the genie out of the bottle
in which he had been imprisoned; the
sickrOOm becomes a house of deten-
ton, and at its door, as in a seashelI
clapped to the ear, the cOnvalescent
hearkens TO all the rumors of the outer
world.-Henry Dwight Sedgwick, in
