YANNY MEADOW MOUSE had

n YANNY MEADOW MOUSE had
nj Just made a wonderful dis
IN eovsry. It was such :. won:
derful discovery that in hel
delight she squeaked right out. You
know, Mice have squeaky voices. What
was that wonderful discovery? Why,
it was q big, rusty tin can lying on
its side in the bushes along the edge
of the Green Meadows. and with the
incest little doorway in one end of 1t.
1t was the sight of that little door
way that had brought the squeak OF
delight from Nanny. Here was the
most wonderful home that a Meadow
Mouse could ask for. Nanny didn't
once think that some one might be
living in there.
Now when Nanny squeaked 1t
brought an answering squeak, and
that answering squeak came from in
side that rusty old can. Nanny backed
away a little and stared at that round
opening. Yes. sir, she stared at that
little round doorway. So there was
some one living there, after all! Can't
you guess how great was Nanny's dis
appointment? Presently she saw a
little gray face back in the shadows
inside the doorway. As first she
couldn't see it clearly. Then it was
thrust out of that doorway. For just
a second Nanny couldn't believe her
own eyes. No. sir. she couldn't. 1t
was too good to be true.
Danny" squeaked Nanny.
Nanny" sqeaked Danny. He
scrambled out. They touched noses.
It was just then that Nanny remem-
bered something. She backed away.
who is living in there with you?"
she demanded. You see, she was sud-
denly filled with jealousy.
Danny blinked. What do you
mean?" he demanded in his funny,
squeaky little voice.
1T mean just what said" replied
Nanny. who is living in there with
you?"
mo one," retorted Danny. I'm
living here all alone. I've been living
here all alone ever since I escaped
from Killy the Sparrow Hawk"
What did you go away for? Why
did you leave the place where we used
to hve?" demanded Nanny.
Danny grinned. IT didn't go away"
said he. Il was carried away. I was
caught by Killy the Sparrow Hawk"
Then Danny told Nanny all about his
adventure-how he had been caught
by Killy and carried clear across the
Green Meadows; how he had wiggled
loose Just in time and finally escaped
by using one of the tunnels Of Miner
the Mole. Then he told her how he
had found this wonderful little home
and he invited her in.

know. He's 20 sure of himself, and
500 Indifferent. don't think he
even notices me- I guess I like him
though-sn awful lot"
Patricia nodded. The girl need not
say that she loved him. 1t was obvi-
Gus, Just as Jim intended. He could
not help but see how impossible she
was to be the wife of man like him
or could he? The girl would prob
ably scream if she saw a mouse, and
She would not know a surf rod from
a piece of bass tackle.
"Of course, Evelyn, ! wouldn't do
anything to hurt you-not after you
were SO nice to me at school and all
when it seemed that even this place
would have to go. But Jim-and your
family, you know. A girl In your
position is supposed to marry-well,
suitably"
EVELYN did not answer. She
- stared out of the window where
the lawns sloped to the lake shore
watching Jim Blakely drag the skif1
from the water. Swarthy as an In
dian, with twining muscles. he began
unloading gear. AS an afterthought
he waved to them.
Isn't he grand?" Evelyn murmured.
Patricia smiled a little. He was
every inch a sportsman. Mexico and
tarpon fishing in the Winter, then
month or two at the old house until
the big game season opened in the
Rockies. When their fortune had
crumbled to a mass of worthless
bonds it had made little difference to
Jim. His trips were less elaborate,
that was all.
Then came that fortnight at the
lake. On the second day he had
driven in a rented fiivver from the
station. Guns, rods, few new tro-
phies and a vague story about wait
ing for something to turn up, he was
the same irresponsible Jim at 80 that
he had been at 20. That was before
he met Evelyn.
But now his attention was obvious
and obviously forced Why? Patricia
wondered Was it because the girl
would mean financial security and a
return to the old gay days of plenty?
That was so unlike Jim. Or was 1t
something else-herself? He could
never seem to realize that she was
content to work and to live in two

night at the lake. we'll

4 there will be flowers of this
lovely plant from May until July tc
greet the happy trailer who is seek
ing some or many of the outdoor folks
for closer observation.
You must 60 to the fields, thickets
and dry woods in order to find these
violet or purplish children. Their
scientific name, pente, means flve
and stemon means a stamen. This
flower is interesting to students of
botany because of its unusual struc-
ture.
The hairy beardtongue is the hand
soonest of its family. And while its
home has been in the East, there are
many of the younger generation that
have ventured from their home State
and are travelling southwark. There
is a Western cousin that is SNOWY,
has received the favorable attention
of gardeners and is being cultivated.
Occasionally you will find both the
Eastern and Western cousins escape
from cultivated and well-ordered gar
dens. They have gone as far as they
could, settled down and flourished,
their children taking up the torch
and marching on.
Please watch the insect guest who
calls upon the flower hostess. The
blossom has lip in the center half
of the lower corolla. An insect caller
must use this as landing field and
the pistil of the flower must Of ne

Now look into the flower to sea

Hairy Beardtongue dusts her guests

flower is a male (staminate) flower in
its first stage and female in the sec

The stem is from / to 3 feet high,
straight and downy above. The leaves
are oblong or lance shape among the
upper ones on the stem, while the low
er ones have narrowed themselves into
short stems.
There are several handsome cousins
you will want to find. The one Of the

DATRICIA watched the girls wide,
round eyes and stringing hair.
She would let Jim handle the stu
alton. Let him find blankets while
he dried Evelyn's clothes before the
fireplace. Let him listen to what a
hero he was-or would it be brute? p?
It didn't matter. The mail truck was
leaving. She could flag 1t and ride
to the station, then walk back.
By that time Jim would probably
be ready to wiring a soft, round neck.
She called something about ordering
supplies.
On the long, dusty walk from the
station she whistled to herself. The
mail driver had winked and grinned
little at her drenched clothes. but
that did not matter. Jim would be
furious.
The house was silent, no fresh Goals

have left her to dry her own clothing.

Patricia frowned q little at the
postscript.

married on the boat. Then to the

Patricia reached for a cigarette. OF
course, the girl was impossible, so
they would get on wonderfully TO-

went to work. Yes. sir, Nanny went
to work. Danny had big nest in
there, but it didn't suit Nanny. She
pulled it all to pieces and made a
new nest. Danny didn't say word.
He understood. He had had that
thing happen before.
AS soon as Nanny had that nest
fixed to suit her she followed Danny
outside to be shown the private little
paths he had cut through the grass.
He showed her where the tenderest
grass grew. He showed her every
little hiding place for some distance
all around. And all the time Nanny
kept close to him. She just wouldn' t
let him out of her sight. She wasn't
going to lose Danny again if she could

again and in no part of the Green
Meadows was there more happiness
than in that rusty old tin can.
