Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

The silvery light of sweet Mis-
tress Moon flooded the Green Mead
ows and chased the Black Shadows
clear back to the very edges of the
Green Meadows. 1t was just such
a night as Meadow Mouse loves,
and Nanny Meadow Mouse would
have enjoyed it and rejoiced in it
and been thoroughly happy but for
one thing. The truth is Danny
Meadow Mouse had spoiled that
beautiful night for Nanny Meadow
Mouse He didn't know he had,
but he had. You see, Nanny was
worried and her worry was all on
account of Danny.
The newest babies were quite safe
in their snug nest, hidden-well, I
won't tell you just where it was
hidden. That was Danny's and
Nanny's secret, so I guess I haven't
any right to tell you just where that
snug little nest was. If I did they
might not trust me again.
Anyway, those newest babies were
quite safe because they were too
young to crawl out even if they
should waken, which they were not
likely to do, because their little
stomachs were full. Little Meadow
Mice are like other babies, in that
when their stomachs are full they
sleep and grow. So Nanny didn't
worry about the babies.
The half-grown children had
romped and played in the moon
light until they had become so tired
that they were glad to curl up in
their beds. They were dreaming the
pleasantest of Meadow Mouse
dreams. So Nanny didn't worry
about them. But she did worry
about Danny Meadow Mouse. Why
didn't he come home? Never since
she had known him had Danny been
gone so long. Something must have
happened to him. She was sure of 1t.
Had Reddy or Granny Fox caught
him? She hadn't seen either of
them on the Green Meadows that
day, but one of them might have
been there long enough to catch
Danny without being seen by her.
Or perhaps Black Pussy the Cat

Meteoric masses are all of consid-

The stupendous size of this meteorite
may be imagined from the crater it
has formed, which is 3 miles round
and nearly 600 feet deep. Within
