work, we work hard and do not stop
to rest until the work is DONE"
Have you any family or brothers
or sisters?" asked Tinker Bob.
"Oh, yes, they live in the other
piles of sticks. You see, each one
lives in his own house."
"Why don't you live all together?"
The Wood Rat smiled at Tinker
Bob. "We have learned that each
one will be happier if he lives in his
own house."
"Well, tell me why you are here?"
"That is the mystery I'll tell you
tomorrow" then Jack the Wood Rat
ran back into his house.
Tinker Bob went to his palace
for the night. After he had gone to
bed he head, "pat, pat, pat" over
the floor. He arose at once and lit
the candle but nothing could be seen.
Then he thought of what Mr.. Wood
Rat had said about a mystery.

piles before. "These have not been
here long," said he to himself. "Ill
wait and see who comes to this place
without asking my permission"
He fingered about until sundown
and as the twilight gathered he saw
the head of a small creature appear
at one side of the odd-looking piles.
Two large black eyes looked about to
see if everything was safe. Then
the little creature came out in full
view. His fur was delicately colored
above the soft shades of gray, and
below with snowy white, His tail
was long and fully covered with hair.
He was really a beautiful creature.
Tinker Bob ventured to speak to
him. "Who are you?" said he, "and

Roy hands over the shoe sheepish-

One day as Tinker Bob was re-

They were not a great way from the
throne. He examined them closely
