"You are afraid" chuckled Danny
Meadow Mouse. BE honest, Nibbler.
Be honest. You are afraid, and that
is all there is to it."
Nibbler the House Mouse tried to
look dignified and insulted, but his
whiskers were twitching so nervously
that he couldn't He was afraid, and
he knew that Danny knew that he was
afraid. You see Danny and Nanny
Meadow Mouse, who had spent the
winter in Farmer Browns barn with
their cousin, Nibbler, who lives there
all the time, had grown homesick for
the beautiful Green Meadows now that
it was spring and had announced that
there were going back there. Danny had
invited Nibbler to 60 along with them,
and the very idea Of such a thing had
quite upset Nibbler.
Perhaps il Danny had not made SO
light of the dangers in the barn COM
pared with the dangers on the Green
Meadows it might have been different.
1t always seemed to Nibbler that with
Black Pussy hunting in the barn ev-
cry day his life was quite as danger
Gus as any life could. be. But Danny
Meadow Nous chad laughed at
Black Pussy and had told him of the
much smarter hunters of the Green
Meadows, and how they had to be
watched for every minute day and
night Nibbler couldn't understand
how Danny and Nanny could even want
to think of going back to such a dread
fully dangerous place.
But they not only thought of going,
they actually were going. 1t would be a
long, long journey with dreadful dan
gers all the way. Privately Nibbler
thought that Danny and Nanny were
simply crazy. The idea of leaving such
a comfortable, comparatively safe place
as Farmer Browns barn for such
dreadful dangers No one in his senses
would think of such a thing. You see
Nibbler always had lived in that barn,
and that made all the difference, in
the world.
''I'm sorry you won't 20 along with
u.s." continued Danny. I'VE would show
you what real life 10. And we would
have all sorts of adventures. You have
no idea what fun it is to fool Reddy
Fox when he is sure that he is going
to catch you"
Nibbler shivered, but said nothing.
And there are such nice fresh things
to eat out there. Why, you don't know

to a secret place in the woods where
there was large round fiat stone.
The Raggedys did not know what
the stone was for, but the nice Gro
Gerry boy soon showed them.
Near the stane was a large box and
from the box the Grocery boy took
large spoon. With this, he dipped bat
ter from round can and dropped the
batter upon the stone. Then the Rag
gedys knew 1t was large waffle stone
and it was very hot. The batter sizzled
and soon cooked the incest waffles you
could imagine.
When the waffles were cooked, the
nice Grocery boy took them to a pile
of white sand and busted each waffle
with the sand; only the sand was pow
dered sugar. This made the waffles very
nice, indeed, and the Raggedys and
little Rags puppy dog and the Gro
Gerry boy ate waffles until they had
all they wished. Now / must tell you
what happened to the mean old Witch.
The horse was very angry with her
for telling him a mean old fib, 50
he ran as fast as he could carrying
the old Witch away from the Rag
gedys. He would have carried her away
back to where he started from, IL he
had not accidently ran in under a
tree where the limbs hung 30 low,

her right off the horses back She
came down, ''blump!" right upon the
hard, hard ground and sat there for
Raggedys. .'Just you wait until catch
them" she howled to herself as she
ran. II win teach them lesson they
will never forget" You see just how
mean and unreasonable a selfish person
can be! They always forget that it is
they themselves who bring misfortune
upon themselves and always blame it
on the ones they try to injure. Any
way, just as the Raggedys had finished
eating the last waffle with powdered
sugar on it. here came the mean old
Witch hopping out of the bushes. Now

A KING TWICE DEPOSED Constantine Of Greece Finally Died In
 Exile At Palermo

The late King Constantine of Greece lost his crown twice since 1916. He ascended the throne in March, 1913, but the spring of 1917 brought much trouble to the Greek king, who was closely tied up with the cause of his brother-in-law, the Kaiser. On June II he was deposed by the allies and fled to Switzerland A plebiscite was held In Greece in December, 1920, to de- termine whether Constantine should rome back. He was recalled, says the Springfield Republican.
 When Constantine returned to Attn ems from his exile he was given a tre- mendous ovation, and great wave of popularity and patriotism followed. Re verses of the army in Asia Minor and its final defeat turned the tide against the king. He abdicated the second time on September 27, 1922, and he died the following January at Palermo. Sicily.
 George was chosen to follow his father upon the Greek throne. Now George is in Rumania. And reports indicate that there is a growing repub- lican sentiment in Greece.

CHANGE AID TO PASTEUR Trivial Incident Led To Discovery Of
 Anthrax Remedy

One of many fascinating stories con nected with the life of Louis Pasteur. the great Frenchman whose centennial was observed some time ago by the entire civilized world. was what the minimizing would call the accident which favored him greatly in his dis covery of the vaccine for the preyen- ton of chicken cholera and also iif the later work which resulted in finding the vaccine for anthrax, writes Louise Brand in the Milwaukee Journal. For centuries before Pasteur's dis covery, anthrax had been a most des- tructive disease throughout Europe. Late in the 70's the French govern ment commissioned Pasteur, then well on toward 60 years old, to investigate the cause of the disease.
 of anthrax, or splenic fever, he was in the midst of some laboratory experi- ments connected with the study of chicken cholera. The anthrax inves- tigations kept him away from his lab Oratory for number of months. When / he returned he found to his great surprise and annoyance that the cultures of chicken cholera bacillus with which he had been working and which had stood in his laboratory while he was away had so changed that when inoculated beneath the skin of a healthy chicken they did not produce death, as he had expected, but only slight illness
 Thinking that the cultures had lost their virulence, he secured fresh cul- lures of the disease producing germs from chickens that had recently died These new cultures produced death in a healthy chicken in from two to three days. but the interesting and most inn portant part of the study was to follow, for the new culture did not have any effect at all on chickens that had been previously inoculated with the culture that had stood in his labora- tory number of months and that he had thought was spoiled
 On this important work of Pasteur is based all present knowledge of pre- ventive inoculation in medicine. It led directly to the discovery of inocula- tion for anthrax and later for hydro phobia. His work overthrow many of the traditions and superstitions which were universally accepted as true.
