Bedtime Stories
Jack Frost's Busy Night
BY Thornton W. Burgess
This truth faim would make most
clear.
The strong from me haze a,aught
to fear.
Jack Frost.

Paddy the Beaver was ready for
1he coming of Jack Frost none too
soon. The very night of the dav
Paddy finished his work on his food
pile, his house and his dam Jack
Frost arrived. He came silently and
he worked fast. Paddy was asleep at
the time. You know he had worked
so hard Tor so many weeks getting
ready tor winter that he was verv
tired when he entered his house late
IN the afternoon and curled up in his
snug bedroom for nap. He was so
tired that he slept until the night was
far spent.
1t was just before daylight that
Paddy awoke, slipped down through
his subway into his pond, swan a
short distance down near the bottom
and then started up to the surface.
Instead of poking his head out Of
water, as he expected to, he bumped
It. Yes, sir. Paddy bumped his head.
W course, he knew instantly what he
had bumped it against. 1t was ice.
faddy's pond was frozen over.
Jack Frost has come and I was
ready Just in time," thought Paddy
as ne tried couple Of times to break
the Ice and couldn't. "He must have
come early last night and worked
thick" ''
Then Paddy dived and swan
straight to where the Laughing Brook
enters his pond. He knew that there
he would find open water, for it takes
very cold weather and much of it to
freeze running water. There he poked
ms head out and drew long breath.
It was sharp and clear. that air he
nlled his lungs with, and it made him
t'ngie all over. Then he looked at
his pond; it was one great sheet of
clear. glistening, smooth ice.
Paddy looked over at his house. He
didn't need to go over to it to know
that Jack Frost had been busy there.
TOO. Paddy chuckled. "Jack Frost
has frozen hard all that mud ! COW
cred my house with" said he, talk
ing to himself. "He can't freeze it
too hard to suit me. Now shall feel
quite safe. He certainly has been
busy"
Paddy was right; Jack Frost had
beer busy. All through the stillv
night, for this time he had come
without rough Brother North Wind.
he had worked fast and hard. The
Smiling Pool was frozen over lust as
was tho pond of Paddy the Beaver.

and above the ice stood the roof of
Jerry Muskrat's house. Jack Frost
hadn't had so much work to do there.
Tor Jerrys roof was chiefly of rushes

was so hard that even the sharp hoofs
OF Llghtfoot the Deer left no mark.
He had covered the quiet places on
the Big River with ice and made a
beautiful shining fringe of it all
along the Laughing Brook. He had
crept through cracks in Farmer
Browns henhouse and made the hens
crowd closer together to keep warm,
He had found Peter Rabbit and made
Peter jump and skip and scamper
about. tie had pinched Bobby Coon's
nose when he poked it out of his hol-
low tree. and Bobby had decided very
promptly that he didn't want to 20

All over the Green Meadows and the

Forest and the Old Orchard went

he meant that ever body should know
H. 1t was busy night for Jack
Frost. Yes, sir-ee, it was busy night
for Jack Frost. And when morning
came some were glad and some were
sad, and all knew that the days ahead
were for those only who were stout
