had carried them safely out of the

here under the steps. And you must
be my guests and have pot-luck with
me. There is plenty of cheese for

The Twins were not SO anxious to
share Mister Mouse's meal as t!.ey
were to see the wonderful dish he
spoke Of. What kind of dish could
it be that had holes and whirligigs
in it? But Nick said he was sure
they would both be much obliged to
stay and everything, and after that
all three Of them went over to the
dark place under the stairs
"Thcre!" declared the Bca.stalk
Mouse with a wave of his long tail.
There is the dish right there in the
corner. And do you smell the cheese?
Really it smells so delicious it al
most makes me want to sneeze."
"Why!" gasped Nancy the minute
she set eyes on it. "That's a mousse
trap, Mister Mouse!"
"A what" shrieked the mouse,
backing away in a hurry. "What did
you say"
"A monse-trap," repeated Nick.
"Those whirligigs are springs. and if
you touched any Of them, you'd be
caught.

mouse doubtfully.

the trap is SO big and I'm so little,

No wonder Nick had his doubts, my
dears, for the Beanstalk Mouse was

was as large as a--oh, about as large
as a garage

and reached into oae of the holes on
