ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

One morning when Mister Gallop
and his guests, Nancy and Nick, were
eating their breakfast in the fairy
mans red-rock cave, there was
timid, scratching sound at the en-
trance.
"Come I'M" called Mister Gallop.
And to their surprise, instead of
one person, in walked dozen peo
pie, all looking as solemn as u
Quaker meeting.
Good morning, sirs!" said Mis-
ter Gallop. "Is anything wrong?
Judging from the way you're all
looking, it can't be anything right.
What is it ?"
Mister Prairie Dog, still putting
from his climb (for he never could
stand mountains) looked at Mister
Gopher, Mister Gopher looked at Mis-
ter Field Mouse, M ster Field Mouse
looked at Mister Cotton Tail, Mister
Cotton Tail looked at Mister Gray
Squirrel, Mister Gray Squirrel look
ed at Mister Chipmunk, Mister Chip
munk looked at Mister Water Shrew,
Mister Water Shrew looked at Mis-
ter Beetle, Mister Beetle looked at
Mister Snail, and Mister Snail look
ed at Mister Grasshopper. But poor
Mister Grasshopper had nobody to
look at.
So he got up his courage and spat
tobacco juice on the ground and said
weakly:
"We're a committee, sir! We came
to tell on Piggy Badger. We call
him Piggy because he digs with his
nose and he's got dreadful appe-
tite. Besides he's as fat as hay
stack. That's Why we came. Be-
cause he's SO fat. He gets fat on US
and no matter where we or our
families hide, he roots US out with
his long, sharp nose, and it's get
ting SO bad nobody's safe any more"
"Well, we'll, well! I'm glad you
came" said Mister Gallop. Tll tend
to this Piggy fellow at once. I
never see him around, so / thought
he had moved akay."
"No, sir, he comes out mostly
after sundown," said Mister Prairie

they all said together. We're ever

the plain, II you want to know. He
lives there 50 he can hunt in both
directions"
