this morning they have tried hunting
together Unless my eyes deceive me,
ana that is something they seldom do.
Danny wasn't caught this time 1
wouldn't be surprised if now they leave
Danny alone for quite awhile. This
is a chance for you. Blacky. Think it
over! Think it Overt"
Blacky did think it over, In fact. for
the rest of that day he didn't think
about much of anything else. There
were Two reasons why he would like to
catch Danny or Nanny Meadow Mouse.
One was because Reddy Fox and
Roughleg the Hawk hadn't been able to-
was that Blacky was having a hard
time to pick up a living while every
thing was SO covered with snow, and a
meadow Mouse dinner would taste duite
as good to him as to Reddy or Rough
leg.
Before he went to sleep that night on
his favorite roost in the Green Forest
he did lot of planning, did Blacky the
Crow.
IF Reddy and Roughleg stop hunting
them Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
knew 1t to fail" thought he. THAT will
be my chance. I'll just fly over where
they live every day SO that they will
think nothing of seeing me about and
at the same time I'll be able to find ou,
which of those little round doorways in
the snow they use the most. After
that, well after that we'll see what we
will see."
Blacky chuckled and closed his eyes
In two minutes he was asleep and
dreaming that he was catching meadow
mice by the dozen and that in all the
great world there was no one so crafty
as he.

The Craftiness of BIacky the
Crow.
Go where you will. search high and low,
You'll find there's none like Mr., Grow.

Everybody knows that Blacky the
Crow is crafty. OF course, everybody
knows it just as everybody knows that
Reddy Fox is sly. Craftiness has be-
come part of Blacky's character. To
be crafty is to be very clever and cum
ning.' to be smart in sly and shrewd
way. There are times when even Old
Man Coyote would take off his hat to
Blacky the Crow, if he had one to take
off. I suspect. The fact is, any one who
expects to get ahead of Blacky must
get up very early in the morning or sit
up all night. and then is more than
likely to find he has had his trouble for
nothing. Yes. sir. shrewd. clever ras-
cal is Blacky, as crafty a chap as ever
lived.
BlacEy learned long ago that the way
to outwit his neighbors was to know
more than they do So. If there is any
one who knows more about what is
going on on the Green Meadows and in
the Green Forest I don't know who it
leg the Hawk became partners for the
purpose of trying to catch Danny Mead
ow Mouse they thought no one knew of
it. That is where they made a mistake.
Blacky knew. Anyway. he guessed
what was up. You see, he was flying
over a distant part of the Green
Meadows when Reddy and Roughleg
made their attempt to catch Danny, and
he saw what was going on. He saw
Reddy begin the hunt, and then. when
Reddy began to dig in the snow. he saw
Roughleg fly over and presently dash
down in his vain effort to catch Danny.
Blacky kept right on his way. but in
his shrewd little head he was putting
two and two together and making four,
as the old saying is. Il cross these
Meadows every day. thought he, land
I've seen Reddy Fox hunting for Danny
Meadow Mouse many, many times, but
always alone, unless Mrs. Reddy or Old
Granny Fox happened to be with him.
And I've seen Roughleg the Hawk hunt
ing Danny many, many times and al
ways alone. When Reddy has been
hunting Roughleg has kept away and
when Roughleg has been hunting Reddy
has kept away. Neither has been able
to catch Danny Meadow Mouse. and SO

preparations made by Germany for this

SHORT VISITS MAKE LONG FRIENDS.

Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: We have often heard the quotation, "Short visits make long friends and I think no truer application exists than to those who make the morning call on the busy housewife.
 If we would do our every day work systematically with one pair of hands. there is not much time to spend wis iting, or to entertain visitors in the hours of the forenoon.
 Of course, in case of exceptions, where it is specially planned to spend the day. with friend it is just fine. My particular reference is to those who run in for a minute. and stay an hour or more. just at the busiest time when baking is going on, or. ] worse yet, on washing days, when you 1 are anxious to finish, if possible, be- 1 fore time to get dinner.
