AIMS Pet Raccoon Digs Up a Sur

AIMS pet raccoon had proved him.
self a persistent mischief maker
Ginger was as tame as kit
ten and as bothersome as a puppy.
Ann carried him wherever she went.
When she became Interested in the
event of the hour, she set down her
pet and promptly forgot him, and
presently the party was obliged to
scatter to find the precious thing !
Jim never spoke of him except as
''that darn coonn Jim's voice then
expressed much more than his words.
1t takes only trifle, sometimes, to
destroy masculine patience. Jim
could be hero when the engine of
his plane stopped hitting 5000 feet
up in the air, but 'that darn coon"
seemed as inevitably destined to de-
stroy his happiness as the serpent
did Adams.
Little did / guess it could ever dis,
turb my life when Ann held it out
to Deb on my verandah.
There is always a look of wonder
in Deb's eyes when she considers
Jim's wife. 1t is as if she were ask
ing herself, would Jim have loved
me had l been like that?"
Deb was politely unastonished to
find Ann petting coon, and gen.
timely interested in its cuteness
When our talk finally turned from
Ginger's diet, Ann put the raccoon
down, and as usual, promptly forgot
him.
Two hours later, after we had
made an exhausting search of the
house, we discovered Ginger upstairs
in the closet of my husbands room

The beastie was nosing something

but instantly Markie Muskrat declar-
ed that the runaways couldn't have
gone that way, as there was spider
web completely over it. So little
Sar' Ann Spider had kept her word
after all! They began to breathe
more easily then.
"Come on" whispered Flop. Let's
get out of thisw And he pushed
Muff ahead of him in the darkness.
OF course, Muff had to go first, for
they soon came to the end of the pas
sage, and it was necessary to do more
digging to get to safety. Flop
couldn't dig worth a cent, but Muff
was the best ever. He worked hard
and fast but not fast enough for the
anxious truant behind him. "Oh,

Flop more politely.
So along they trudged through
the darkness, Muff showing the dirt
out of the road and Flop keeping
an eye behind them for danger.
Everything was going finely, and
in another minute Flop would have
broken through the top crust into the
sunlight and off into his beloved
corn patch, when Muff suddenly
stopped. There was sound of nib
bling and a gulp. "My, that was a
good one" he remarked, smacking
his lips.
Whats the matter and what was
a good one?" peeyed Flop.
"Earthworm," answered Muff.
ooh, go on, / can't get out here,
urged the mouse-boy.
