A Log That Is Alive.

LOG ndt H fAliNt.
Five times Danny Meadow Mouse
left his hiding place on the bank OF
river and started toward a great, big.
old log lying on the bank in the sun.
Five times his courage failed him
and he ran back He had heard or
seen nothing to frighten him back,
but the feeling that he was right out
In the open had been too much for
him. But each time he had tried 1t
he had become a little bolder and had
gone little farther.
At last he made up his mind that
il would be quite safe to run over
and examine that old log. An old
log lying on the bank like that must
be hollow. At least II must have
a hollow in It big enough for tired
little Meadow Mouse to curl up In
and take a nap. So once more Danny
started to scamper over to that old
log.
He had almost cached it when the
most ASTONISHING thing happened
Yes. sir. the mr. astonishing thing
happened. What looked like foui
stubs Of broken branches on its sides
began to move. and then that whole
log itself began to move. 1t was walk
ing on those four stubs.
II you could have seen Danny then
you would have thought that his
funny little eyes were going to por
right out Of his head. He was toe
astonshed to even be afraid. Never In
his life had he heard of log walk
ing. And in his funny. furry little
head Danny had no room for any
thing but pure astonishment. There
wasn't even room for fear. He
stopped right where he was and
simply stared and stared and stared

Field of an alumnus who has won

Rain has somewhat irlterfered

into hard work as soon as the

and the warm rains are helping a
good stand of grass to grow in the
outfield.
