Danny Meadow Mouse was hiding

BY the time Buster had whirled

out from under his very paw AS he
started to rake over a little pile of
leaves in search of beechnuts, DAN
ny had, as you know, disappeared.
He had darted behind the trunk of
a big tree. For a couple of minutes
Buster stood perfectly still. He was
listening. He was listening for the
rustic of leaf to tell him in which
direction Danny had gone. But
not a leaf rustled.~ Buster couldn't
hear the fainteSt sound to tell him
that there was another living thing
anywhere about.
Nov, where can that scamp have
gone to?' muttered Buster. "He
certainly hasn't gone far. He must
be right around here somewhere.
Probably he is hiding under some of
these leaves. I'll pull over a few
of them and find out"
So Buster Bear began to rake
over the leaves all about with his
great claws just as he had been do
