The First Alarm.

In all the Green Forest there was no
prettier sight than Mrs. Gobbler and
her twelve downy babies as they start
ed forth in search of a breakfast. And
in all the Green Forest there was no
prouder mother and no more anxious
one than Mrs Gobbler. She walked
slowly because, of course, those little
legs scurrying along after her couldn't
have kept up if she hadn't. She turned
her head from side to side, her keen
eyes searching everywhere to make
sure that no danger threatened. Her
keen ears caught every teeniest, ween-
lest sound. Often she would pause to
make sure that the faint rustic of the
Merry Little Breezes among the leaves
of the tree-topS was not made by some
soft footed enemy.
Presently they came to an ant-hill
Mrs. Gobbler made sure that no danger
was near. and then began to scratch
open that ant-hill. At once n fright
ened host of ants was uncovered, and
Mrs. Gobbler picked up two or three to
show her babies that these We're good

blers began to snap up the ants greed

their funny little heads bobbing up and
