Mr.. Deer Mouse Is Timid

Benny Badger began to lose
patience with the deer mouse. he
was one of the most tmid persons
Benny had ever seen. And Benny
was on the point of telling MIN
that he hadn't even the courage
of a prairie dog.
But suddenly new idea flashed
into his head. He thought ne
knew what was troubling Mr.. Deer
Mouse.
when 1 asked you to join me
at breakfast 1 didn't mean what
you thought l did" Benny an
nounced. "You thought-didn't
you?-that 1 meant to breakfast
on you"
Mr.. Deer Mouse admitted faint
ly that he had had some such
notion.
How ridiculous!" Benny Badger
cried "Why, you're so quick
that 1 could chase you all day
and all night, too-without catch
ing you. You're too spry for me.
So we might as well put such an
idea out of our minds"
Benny Badger sighed as he
spoke. And he couldn't help
noticing, once more, how very
very plump Mr.. Deer Mouse was.
What 1 meant by your join
ing me at a good meal was simply
this" he continued: "If you'll only
stay with me, and follow me quiet
ly wherever 1 go, there's a good
chance that you'll have a bone
to gnaw before a great while"
All that seemed very pleasant
to the deer mouse.
THANK you ever so much" he
murmured. "I'll be glad to accept
your invitation, so long as we
aren't going to breakfast inside
your new home"
So they set out. And for
time Mr.. Deer Mouse followed Ben
ny Badger all around the neigh
borhood.
Though Benny kept a sharp
watch on all sides, he couldn't see
anything-or anybody-that pro-
missed a meal. And he decided at
last that he would have to make
a change of some sort in his plans
So he sat down and beckoned
to Mr.. Deer Mouse to move nearer.
you go ahead of me, and I'll
follow you" he said. You're
smaller than I am, and perahps
you won't frighten the game the
way I do"
Mr.. Deer Mouse did not seem to
care for the suggestion.
"You might make a mistake,
he objected. "If I went ahead of
you, you might think that I was
the game. And there might a
terrible accident"
Benny Badger shifted.

"Nonsense!" he cried. IF did
make such a mistake, l promise
you that wouldn't let it happen
more than once"
But the deer mouse proved to be
a stubborn chap. He declined
flatly to do as Benny wanted.
"Very WE'LL" said Benny Badger
gruffly. I'm sorry that you do
not care to make things as pleas
ant as possible for a newcomer.

'I believe you" Mr.. Deer Mouse
retorted. "In fact, I've heard
that a man even set a trap for
you, right in your own doorway. y
OF course. that news came to
Benny Badger as a great surprise.
He had had no idea that Mr..
Deer Mouse knew anything about
him.
Somebody has been gossiping!"
Benny Badger growled angrily
"Who told you that?"
"Goodnes me! Everybody has
heard about it," Mr.. Deer Mouse
replied. Don't you hnow that
news travels fast over tine plains?'
"Does it travel as fast as 1 do"
Benny Badger asked him sudden

his mouth he leaped at Mr.. Deer
Mouse. And for one as heavy as
he was, Benny leaped with sur
prising swiftness
But quick as he was, he was to

to melt away right beneath Benny

For one moment Benny was sure
he had him. And the next lno-

He couldn't see his small neigh
Dor anywhere. In fact. it was
whole week before Benny Badger
set his eyes on him again. And
to Benny's amazement Mr.. Deer
Mouse was just as polite as ever.
He asked Benny how he liked his
new home, and il he had found
the people in the neighborhood as
pleasant as he had expected.
"My house is a fine one" Ben

the neighborhood is as good as ]

"I suppose"-said Mr.. Deer
Mouse-"I suppose some of them
join you at breakfast every mo-r-

Benny Badger looked at him
sharply. He was all ready to get
angry. But Mr. Deer Mouse was

lose his temper.
