continued to be standard as late as

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
T\ADDY was small Toad,
very small Toad, indeed. Had
there been 10-cent piece for
MIN to sit on he could have
sat on 1t comfortably, with plenty of
room to spare. Being so tiny, natur-
ally ne was delicate. 1t was hard to
believe that one so small and SO
delicate could face successfully the
perils OF the Great World But Taddy
was facing them. and so were thou
sands Of other little Toads of Just
his age and size. They had turned
their backs on the Smiling Pool, where
they had been born and for a few
short weeks had lived as Tadpoles
Now, like q small army, they were
marching out onto the Green Mead
ows, on their way to ind places for
themselves in the Great World. A
lot Of them were Taddy's brothers
and sisters. And, OF course, none
knew anything about the Great World.
They would have to learn as they
went along.
They left the Smiling Pool in per-
feet Toad weather. A warm rain
was falling gently. 1t felt good to
their delicate skins. You see, they
had been living in water, and, of
course, that meant that they always
had moist skins. They had gone but
a little way when the first of the
periS OF the Great World appeared
in the persons Of Blacky the Grow
and his flock. When the big black
birds, huge and dreadful giants 10
the tiny toads, finally flew away the
journey had already ended for many
OF the little travellers. From now on
all those who remained would al
ways keep their eyes open for Blacky
the Crow and his friends.
Now, such very small folk could
not 60 far without stopping to rest.
So they would hop little way and
rest: hop little farther and rest.
1t was fun. and it was very excit-
ing. OF course, everything was new
and therefore strange The fright
given them by the Crows was soor.
forgotten and the army of tiny
Toads moved on to take possession
Of the Great World. Anyway, it
seemed as If that was what they
meant to do.
After time the rain ceased fall

air was damp. OF course, the grass

WAS wet. So the little Toads kept
on, hopping, resting, hopping, rest
Ing. They didn't know where they
were going, but they were on their
way and eager to keep ON. Taddy
was up among the leaders. Along
toward noon the clouds parted and
Jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun smiled
down on the Green Meadows, and
his smile WAS very, very warm. 1t
took all the dampness from the air.
It dried all the grasses.
Now. when jolly, round, bright Mr.
Sun first peeped through a hole in
the clouds Taddy remembered some
thing. He remembered that Old Mr..
Toad told him that there is sure
death to tiny Toads in the smile OF
jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun, if he
smiles on them too long. The warmth
Of that smile will dry their skins
just as it dries other things, and
Toads must keep their skins moist.
So when the first little Sunbeam
shot down and touched Taddy he
began looking around. He was look
ing for something to crawl under
where no Sunbeam could reach him
He found a piece of shingle that
had been left on the Green Meadows
when the flood had passed in the
Spring. Taddy crept under it and
dattened himself on the ground.
The ground was cool and damp. He
felt very comfortable, indeed. He
could peep out from under that bit
Of shingle. Every few minutes a
little Toad would go hopping past.
None even glanced at his hiding place.
Mr.. Sun disappeared and Taddy
wondered if perhaps he hadn't been
little hasty in following that re-
membered advice of Old Mr. Toads S
But presently Mr.. Sun was shin
ing again, shining his brightest.
Some Of the little Toads hopping
past were beginning to pant. They
looked most uncomfortable. Some
were wisely beginning to creep un-
der anything that would cover them,
sticks, chips, leaves, matted grass,
anything that would shield them
from Mr.. Suns too-warm smile.
Tsddy was glad he had stopped when
