Danny Meadow Mouse had seen
pothlng OF old Granny Fox or Reddy
Fox for several days. Every morning
The first thing he did, even before he
had breakfast, was TO climb up 10 one
OF his round doorways and peep out
over the, beautiful white meadows TO
see II there was any danger near. But
every time he did this Danny used n
10 himself. III any one should happen,
lust happen, TO see me this morning
they might be waiting outside my door
way to catch me tomorrow morning v
You see there is a great deal OF wisdom
n the little head that Danny Meadow
Mouse carries on his shoulders.
But the first day and the second day
and the third day ne saw nothing OF
old Granny Fox or Reddy Fox, and he
began to enjoy running through MS
tunnels under the snow and scurrying
= across from one doorway to another on
top OF the snow Just as he had before
the Foxes had tried so hard to catch
him. But he hadn't forgotten, rs
Granny Fox had hoped he would. NO,
indeed, Danny Meadow Mouse hadn't
forgotten. He was too wise for that.
One morning when he started to
climb up TO one OF his little doorways
ne found II was closed. In fact there
wasn't any doorway. More snow had
fallen from the clouds in the night and
had covered up every one OF the little
round doorways OF Danny Meadow
Mouse.
''Ha!" said Danny. I shall have
busy day, very busy day. opening all
my doorways. I'll eat my breakfast
and then I'll go to work"
SO Danny Meadow Mouse ate good
breakfast OF seeds, which he had stored
in the hollow OF an old fence post
hurled undar the snow. and then he be-
gan work on the nearest doorway. II
really wasn't work at all. for you see
the snow was soft and light and Danny
dearly loved TO dig in 1t. In few
minutes he made a wee hole through
which he could peep up at Jolly, round
Mfr. Sun. In a few minutes more he
had made II big enough to put his head
out. He looked this way and he looked
that way. Way, way over on the top
Of tree he could see old Roughleg the
Hawk, but he was so far away that
Danny didn't fear him at all.
II don't see anything or anybody 20
ne afraid Of" said Danny, and poked
his head out a little farther.
Then he sat and studied everything
around him long, long time. IL was
beautiful white world, a very beau
tifnl white world. Everything was 30
white and pure and beautiful that II
didn't seem possible that harm or any
danger for any one could even be
thought OF. But Danny Meadow Mouse
learned long ago that things are not
always what they seem, and so he sat
with Just his little head sticking out
OF HIS doorway and studied and stud
led. Just little way Off was little
leap OF snow.
II don't remember that" said Danny
And J don't remember anything that

Were those old Pilgrims of that sturdy stock
Who stepped ashore one bleak December day
Three hundred years away.
What will you for your conscience? VIII you stand
Against wild beasts and men of some wild land,
And with harsh nature and niggard soil
Wrestle In endless toll?
win you uproot your home and spread your sail
Against the roaring and wntry gale,
Forsalng all the landmarks OF your kind
To keep unbound mind?
Scanning the centuries towards their sacrifice.
Often wonder are worth their price?
Judged by their hardy sturdiness are we
Still worthy to be free?
