Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

There was a great deal of un-
easiness in the big barn where the
Robber Rats lived. Would Billy
Mink return, or had he just made q
chance visit and gone somewhere
else? The gray old leader of the
rats felt sure that Billy would re-
turn. He was too anxious to eat,
and, you know, when a rats appe-
tite fails he must be very much dis
turbed indeed.
But the younger rats thought the
gray old leader needlessly fright
ened, and they went about their
business Of stealing food and gnaw-
ing holes wherever there seemed &

times he is very wide awake indeed.
1t happened that Billy had wakened
just about noon that day and as Is
usual with him after q nap he was
hungry.
If he had been q rat instead of a
mink he might have remained un-
der the woodpile until darkness
came. But Billy is very sure Of his
ability to take care of himself. He
first made sure that no one was
about. Then he slipped out from
under that pile Of wood, and q min
ute later h0 was under the barn.

chance Of finding a new food sup
ply, just as if nothing had happened.
However, each hole which led into
the barn was continually watched
by sharp eyes. Those rats did not
intend to be taken by surprise a Sec
ond time.
Rats prefer the hours of darkness.
They hate the light of day. Per-
haps that is because their deeds are
deeds OF darkness. So, when day.
light came most of the rats returned
to their beds to sleep. Only UNDER
meath the barn whore 1t was dark

did any of them continue to run
about seeking what mischief they
might get into.
But the wise, gray old leader saw
to it that a watch was kept on each
hole just the same as during the
night. He didn't think Billy Mink
would come in the daytime, but he
was wise enough to know that Billy
Mink is forever doing the unex-
pected. He suspected that Billy
would take great pains not to let
the farmer who owned that barn
know that he was anywhere about.
Evening star., 1939-01-16

Hell probably sleep all day."
thought the gray old leader, "but
just as soon as it begins to get dark
he'll be back here. I just feel it in
my bones"
But it wasn't dark when there
suddenly sounded the danger signal
from one OF the watchers. In fact,
1t was broad daylight, the very
middle of the day. You see, day
light and darkness are all one to
Billy Mink. He sleeps whenever he
feels sleepy regardless Of whether
1t be night or day. At al other
Evening star., 1939-01-16

Then it was that the danger signal
was sounded by the rat who was
watching the hole through which
Billy entered. It was at once passed
on from rat to rat until every one
in the barn knew that the enemy
had returned.

available for conducting studies in
Wildllfe management, developing
and improving publicly owned or

munition. This tax produces about
S3.000,000 annually Department o.
