Foolish, Foolish Chatterer.

| chatterer the Red Squirrel is a very
excitable small person. Indeed. / know
of no one who can get quite so excited
over nothing as can Chatterer, and
when there is.cause for excitement it
sometimes seems as IL Chatterer would
burst and fly all to pieces with excite
ment. The discovery that in the night
while he slept in the hollow in the Big
Hickory Tree close by the Smiling Pool
the water had crept over the banks
| and flooded the Green Meadows. so that
he must stay right there in the Big
Hickory Tree, drove Chatterer almost
crazy with excitement
OF course. it was very astonishing
thing and In a way an exciting thing,
but there was no cause for Chatterer
to act as If he had lost his senses en-,
tfrely. Yet this is just what he did.
He raced all over that Big Hickory
ing as II he thought that would help
matters He would go down the trunk
of the tree almost to the water and
there he would scold just as fast as his
and heard him you might have sup
posed that he thought the water could
understand him. But the water paid
no attention to him. OF course. not.
1t steadily crept higher and higher up
the trunk Of the Big Hickory Tree as
IL to make fun of foolish Chatterer.
When he saw this he would have
sudden panic and race up to the very
top Of the Big Hickory Tree and there
he would cling and look over to the
Green Forest and wonder II he ever,
ever would get back there again.
Now, of course, there wasn't the
slightest use in getting so excited.
There was nothing Chatterer could do.
He was a prisoner in that tree. but if
he had stopped to think about 1t he
would have known that he was per-
fectly safe. At least, he was safe until
the water should get so deep that 1t
Tree. and such a thing as that never
had happened and probably never would
happen. What Chatterer should have
done would have been to make himself
plenty to eat in his storehouse in the
hollow in the tree and wait patiently
to see what would happen.
! But Chatterer didn't do any real
thinking. / suppose 1t was the feeling
that he was a prisoner that so upset
him. And that is just what he was. He
was just as much a prisoner if he
had been caught by Farmer Browns
Boy and put in cage. He couldn't do
what he wanted to. He couldn't go
where he wanted to. So, what with
his fright and his feeling Of helpless
ness. he quite forgot to eat. He lost his
appetite. When Chatterer loses his ap-
petite you may know that he is feeling
| once think of breakfast When he
thought of those fine fat hickory nuts
In his storehouse. right there in that
very tree 1t was to wish that he never
had thought of them in the first place.
II he hadn't stored them there in the
fall, or II he hadn't thought of them the
day before. he would now be safe at
home in the Green Forest.
Foolish. foolish Chatterer! How like
lot Of foolish people he was Some
| folks always must find something or
| somebody to blame for all that happens.
Instead of being thankful that he was
safe. with plenty to eat and a good
place to sleep. here he was making him
self miserable, unable to eat, half crazy
down and think little. Foolish, fool

of 1t that Germany had to lower her
bread ration, while Austria continued
to starve bit more rapidly. The sup
plies had been burned.
These fires were lighted, with kind
of poetic justice, by the remnants of
the Czecho-Slovak army-deserters
from the Austrian ranks and invet-
crate enemies of the Hapsburgs, who
had been reconstructed into Russian
military units under the Kerensky
regime and fought so splendidly for
Russia before the whole nation col
