over most of Greece. particularly in

In the distant past an epidemic

throughout the world. Indeed, it is
reported that the bringing of ma

may have been responsible for the
downfall of the great Grecian civili-
cation.
The cities of Athens and Piraeus
offer favorable conditions for the

1t looked as if some one would

that's the way i, looked. Reddy Fox
thought SO. Redtail the Hawk
thought so. But Rusty the Fox
Squirrel wouldn't let himself think
so. Not until he was caught would
he believe that he was to furnish
anyone with dinner. But things
locked bad. They couldn't very well
have looked worse. There was Rusty
OH fence-post with Redtail thu
Hawk preparing to swoop on him
from above. and Reddy Fox waiting
tor him just below.
Rusty saw one chance to escape,
1t was Just a chance and that was
all. But he was making the most Of
it. He couldn't afford to make
mistake of any kind. No, sir. he
couldn't afford to make Il mistake
Of any kind. He would have to jump
at just the right second. So Rusty
watched the swift approach of Red
tail. My. but Redtail was coming
fast. 1t was hard, very hard. not
to break and run. II mustn't run
yet. I mustn't run yet" Rusty
kept saying over and over to him
self as he heard the wind whistling
through the stiff wing feathers OF
Redtail the Hawk.
When it looked as if Redtail sure
ly would catch him. Rusty suddenly
bounded forward half way along the
next rail. Then without warning he
made a flying leap off to one side,
flying leap to the ground. Now.
both Redtail and Reddy Fox were
taken by surprise. which was just
what Rusty had counted on. Red
tail changed his course in the air
somewhat and swooped low. hoping
TO pick Rusty up from the ground.
Reddy Fox found himself on the
wrong side Of the fence and bound
ed through the bushes, intent on
catching Rusty before he could once
more get up on the fence.
Both were just too late to catch
Rusty, but they We're in time 10 get

low swoop came just as Redds Fox
bounded out from the bushes and
one of Redtail's big wings struck
Reddy across the face. Ny, how
Reddy lost his temper then! He
snapped at that great wing and got

But he hung on and that brought
Redtail 10 the ground. Such a snarl-
ing and screaming as there was
then! Redtail threw himself on his
back and struck out with those

OF course, Francis Wilson played

played "Ermins" there. as he surely did
on several occasions at other Washing

Wilson's best production. and its place
will always hold a tender spot In the
affections OF theater-goerS. Its beau
tiful lullaby will always appeal to the
tenderness of human affection. Do you
recall Its words? To refresh your
memory. here are Just few lines:
Dear mother in dreams I see her,
With lov'd face sweet and calm.
And hear her voice with love rejoice
When nesting in her arm,
