A Robber Meeting.

1t was night in the big barn. 1t
was the night of Billy Mink's visit
when he had killed the big rat there.
As soon as Billy had left the barn the
gray old leader of the rats had sent
word around that all the rats in the
barn should meet him at once at their
usual meeting place under the floor.
AS soon as the word was received
each member of the robber band hur-
ried to the meeting place. They knew
why the gray old leader had called
them together. and as they hurried
to the meeting place there was fear
in the heart of each one of them. 1t
was long since fear had been known
in the big barn. 1t was the first time
some of them had ever experienced
fear You see, they had been SO well
taught how to avoid traps and poison
that they did not fear those things.
They had made the cat afraid of
them. so they did not fear the cat.
1T was no trouble al all to keep out
of the way of the farmer, so they
did not fear the farmer.
But this slim. brown enemy who
had entered their den so boldly and
had run down and killed one of their
number had brought with him fear.
SO. as from every direction the rats
scurried to that meeting place. they
continually looked behind them for
that SLIM brown creature who moved
so swiftly and from whom even their
gray old leader had run away. Most
of them did not know who Billy
Mink was. for they had always lived
in that big barn, and no one at all
like Billy had ever been there be-
fore.
AS soon as all the rats had an
swered his call the gray old leader
began to speak. Il have called this
meeting" said he, "to decide what
we had best do. A terrible enemy
has come among us and. as you
know, has killed one of our number.
He has left the big barn. as 1 know,
because ] watched him. For the
time being we are quite safe. But
when he again becomes hungry he
will return"
"Who is he?" squeaked a young rat
He didn't look very big to me. If
we all get together, l don't see why
we should be afraid of him. We
drove out that cat and that cat is
great deal bigger than this fellow
Who is he. anyway"
He is Billy Mink" replied the gray
old leader, gravely.
And who is Billy Mink" squeaked
another haif-grown young robber.

marines standing in front of the
platform will raise the national
colors and present arms while the
band, high up behind the chairman,
plays the Star Spangled Banner.
The formal call to order by Vice

The arrangement was made by Sec
