Little Stories For Bedtime
 BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
FARMER BROWNS BOY GROWS
 CURIOUS
BY THORNTON w. BURG

Now, it happened that the very day before Paddy the Beaver decided his pond was big enough, and so allowed the water to run in the Laughing Brook once more, Farmer Browns boy took it into his head to go fish, ing in the Smiling Pool. Just as usu- al, he went whistlsng down across the Green Meadows. Somehow when he goes fishing he always feels like w'listling. Grandfather Frog heard him coming and dived into the lit- tie bit sof water remaining in the Smiling Pool, and stirred up the mud so that Farmer Browns Boy could not see him.
 Nearer and nearer drew the whis- tie. Suddenly it stopped right short off. Farmer Browns boy had come in tight of the Smiling Pool. or rath- CT. what used to be the Smiling Pool Now, there wasn't any Smiling Pool. for the very little pool left was too small and sickly looking to smile. There were great banks of mud, out of which grew bulrushes. The lily pads were forlornly stretched out to- ward the tiny pool of water re- maining. Where the banks were steep and high the holes that Jerry Musk rat and Billy Mink knew so well were plain to see. Over at one side stood Jerry Muskrat's house wholly out of water.
 Somehow 1t seemed to Farmer Browns boy that he must be dream tng. He never, never had seen any thing like this before, not even in the very driest weather of the hottest part of the summer. He looked this way and looked that way. The Green Meadows looked just as usual. The Green Forest looked just as usual The Laughing Brook-ho, What was ]. the matter with the Laughing Brook He couldn't hear it, and that, you know, was very unusual. He dropped his rod and ran over to the Laugh ing Brook There wasn't any brook

dreaming

No. sir, there wasn't any brook-just pools of water with the tiniest of
 streams trickling between. The big
 stones over which he had always seen the water running in the pret-
 tiest of little white falls were bare and dry. In the little pools frightened
 minnows were darting about.
 Farmer Browns boy scratched hIs head in puzzled way T don't under
 stand it he said 'T don't under
 stand it at all. Something must have gone wrong with the springs that
 supply the water for the Laugh Brook. They must have failed. Yes, sir, that is just what must have hap pened. But I never heard of such a thing happening before and I really don't see how it could happen He stared up into the Green Forest just as if he thought he could see those l springs Of course, he didn't think anything of the kind. He was just l turning it all over in his mind. T
 know what I'll dol I'll go up to those l springs this afternoon and find out what the trouble is.' he said out loud. 1 They are away over almost on the other side of the Green Forest, and ! the easiest way to get there will be | to start fl on home and cut across
 the Old Pasture up to the edge of the
 mountain behind the Green Forest If 1 try to fellow up the Laughing
 Brook now 1t will take too long be-
 cause it winds and twists so. Be- sides, it is too hard work"
 With tha. Farmer Browns boy went back and picked up his rod
 Then he started for home across the l Green Meadows, and for once he
 wasn't whistling. You see, he was 1 too busy thinking. In fact, he was SC busy thinkthing that he didn't see Jim my Skunk until he almost stepped
 on him. and then he gave fright ened jump and ran, for without { gun he was just as much afraid oi Jimmy as Jimmy was of him wheI he did have gun Jimmy jus grinned and went on about his bus

advent of the Americans, is nestled at
the foot of the Sierra Madre Noun
tains. Some hundred yards or so be-
hind a hill, smoke was seen to rise.
At first no one paid any particular at
tention to it, until it became denser
Then couple of lonely forest rang
'ers made their appearance upon the
"set'' in an exhausted condition and
apprised Doug that forest fire was
raging and threatened the devastation
Of the entire village in the vicinity.
According to the laws Of the state
it is obligatory for ali able bodied men
to assist in extinguishing forest fires.
No persuasion was necessary. The
men in Mr.. Fairbanks company with
out exception rushed off to the scene
of the danger and after battling with
the possible conflagration finally man
aged to subdue il. The next day the
villagers sent their spokesman around
to- Doug to voice their appreciation.

Doug saw that all those who assist
