BIacky Gets Cold Feet.

Few things seem worse to young or old
Than feet that ache because they're cold.
Old Man Coyote lay crouching fiat in
the snow close by one of the little round
doorways of Danny Meadow Mouse. His
ears were cooked forward to catch the
least little sound. His eyes roamed eagerly
this way and that over the snow, watch
ing for some sign Of Danny or Nanny
Meadow Mouse. If either should come out
of that little round doorway in front of
him they never would go back. But he
didn't really expect either would come out
there He suspected that they were busy
opening other little doorways and that
most any minute one of them might pop
out most anywhere. So he kept watch
and every once in while he would shake
all over 1t wasn't cold that made him
shake No; it wasn't anything like that.
1t was eagerness.
Presently he saw just the tiniest move
ment of the snow a little distance away.
Quietly he got to his feet and softly stole
forward with his eyes fixed on that spot.
The snow right there was disappearing.
1t was dropping down little hole, and

close-fitting affairs and allow very lit

that little hole was growing bigger. Some
one was digging away the snow from be-

He knew it was Danny Meadow Mouse

moved forward swiftly a few steps and
then stopped motionless as little gray
head was poked above the snow. Would
Danny come wholly out? Old Man Coyote
held his breath. And then Danny saw

fright which came into Danny's eyes. In

"Y' Huts to Follouv

PARIS, Nov. 16.-Mayors and
special delegations from towns
in the devastated districts of
France, where the American Y.
M. c. A. has maintained several
hundred huts for French soldiers
and civilians, to-day appealed to
conference of regional directors
of that organization in session
here to continue to maintain
these huts. The directors replied
that the people Of the United
States are now engaged in a
United War Work Campaign to
raise funds for that purpose
among others, and that America,
which has never yet failed in
patriotic drive, would certainly
not fail in the present effort.
Plans were formulated at tho
conference for extending work
of the organization during the
period of armistice, particularly
for moving forward huts as the
French and American armies ad-
vance across the Rhine.
