Mrs. Mouse had five children but
she often told Frisky that all his four
brothers put together were not as
much trouble as he was, for he was
always in some sort of mischief.
Frisky wondered what she meant
by his four brothers together, They
would be pretty big if they were all
put together" said Frisky, thinking
his mother must mean that his broth
ers would be one big mouse. They
would be bigger than mother il they
were together. and then I guess she
would find am not so bad"
Frisiy never was still only wheE he
was asleep, and he did not sleep long;
he was too%anxious to know all that
was going on. >.- -.
AS soon as his mother and father
went out at night Frisky woufd hop
out OF bed Out to the edge Of the
hole he would 60 and poke out his
| nose, and one night his father and
mother had to stay out all night just
| because Frisky poked his nose out
| and Puss saw 1t, SO there she sat
thinking it was Frisky's father or

when they came out.
Frisky thought it would be great
| sport to fool Puss, so he would run
to the hole as near as he dared and
let Puss see just the tiniest DIT of
| nose, and away he would run back
| to the wall, and so his father and
mother had to stay out until Puss was
called to her breakfast by the cook.
or in oil
for this" said Father Mouse, giving
Frisky a box on his ear. Look at
your little brothers: they are in bed,
where they belong. asleep, but you
had to get up. Will you never be-
have?"
! HUH" said Frisky from his bed
They don't have bit of fun, and
do. You ought to have seen PIss;
she made a dab at me and hit her
paw bang on the floor
Il saw her" said Mother Mouse
"and l expected every minute to see
her catch you. Some day you will gel
into some sort of trouble that will
teach you to be good"
Frisky cuddled down in his bed and
went to sleep, and when he awoke il
was quite dark; he had slept all day
and it was night time again, and his
father and mother were out.
Frisky got up and went to the edge
of the hole, but Puss was not there
so Frisky went outside the hole.
1t was nice and quiet, so Frisky rar
about a bit, and the next thing he
knew he was on table.
"My, something smells good to me,
he said, smelling of a bottle.
No one but Frisky would have
thought that mucilage had nice door
but Frisky did so; he poked at it ane
put his front feet on the bottle unit
over it came, and the mucilage raj
all over Frisky, covering his head ant
body.
"Oh, OH" cried Frisky, 'T didn'
mean to do that Isn't it horrid, stick,
stuff? I guess I'll run away from it.
So he jumped down on the floor
tracking the mucilage all about ane
feeling very uncomfortable with the
sticky stuff all over him.
But this did not keep Frisky from
looking for more mischief: he raj
into the dining room and the careless
maid had left the cover off the suga7
bowl, SO Frisky looked in, then h'
poked in his nose and it tasted good
so he jumped in.
He buried himself in the sugar, ant
then he felt so queer and stiff Whe1
he Jumped out that he ran for home.
BY the time he was back in his
house he was so stiff he could hardl!
