MY friend the Major is a great trav-
eller. There's no knowing when he
will take it into his head to move on.
And if you want TO meet him there's
no time like the present.
Well. people were so busy getting
ready for the party that there was a
great furry everywhere all day long
except at the haystack, where Major
Mickey was hiding And even he did
not have so dull time as you might
suppose.
Luckily, he had discovered a lone
apple tree nearby. And being fond
of fruit he crept out of the haystack
every few minutes and gathered ap-
pies,
What he could eat, he ate greedily.
And what he couldn't he hid under
the stack.
And on the whole, he had rather a
pleasant time.
