Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.

Chatterer, the Red Squirrel, sat
in the top Of the Big Hickory tree
on the bank of the Smiling Pool and
looked over the flood which made
him a prisoner there. He was very
sober. In his eyes was a look of
great disappointment. You see the
Merry Little Breezes had raced
away without saying q word about
helping him. He had told them
all about his troubles and how he
had hoped to get back to shore by
sailing there on 4 log or board
drifting in that direction. He had
told them that they had upset his
plans by blowing the logs and sticks

his heart was . little bitterness
against the Merry Little Breezes
because they continued to blow from
the wrong direction.
Nearer and nearer came the old
rail and at last 1t gently bumped
against the trunk of the Big Hickory
Tree. Then up to where Chatterer
was sitting danced one Of the Merry
Little Breezes and cried:
We've brought you ship, Chat-S
terer! Come down and get aboard
But Chatterer shook his head and
wouldn't

in the wrong direction 50 that they
were drifting toward the Big River
instead Of toward the shore. You
see, he thought that when he told
them this they would promptly blow
the other way.
But they had raced away with
out a word about what they were
going to do and as the drifting
things continued to move in the
wrong direction what was there for
Chatterer to believe but that the
Merry Little Breezes didn't intend
to help him?

his story. had made up their minds
that they would help Chatterer and
that IL why they had raced away
In such . hurry. They hadn't told
Evening star., 1939-04-25

Chatterer what they meant to do,
because, you see, they wanted to give
him a pleasant surprise. First, they
hurried this way and hurried that
way over the water looking for a
log or something which would do
for ship for Chatterer. It took
quite a while to fnd what they
wanted. Most OF the floating things
were out in the Big River and
there the water was running too
swiftly for the Merry Little Breezes
to make things go where they
wanted them to 90, though they
should blow With all their might.

Breezes had to keep at it with all
their might, but they were very
much in earnest and didn't stop
minute. So, gradually the old rail
drifted nearer and nearer to the
Big Hickory Tree.
Chatterer saw 1t coming, but 1t
didn't interest him at all. You
see it was moving in the wrong di-
rection. If it kept on 1t would reach
the big River and be carried away
ever and ever 50 far. So, beyond
wishing that that old rail was
coming from the other direction,
Chatterer gave 1t no thought and In

So they had to hunt where the
flood covered the Green Meadows
and there was no current.
At last they found just what
they were looking for, but it was
way over close to the very shore
Chatterer so longed to reach. At
once they told all the other Merry
Little Breezes about Chatterer and
what they wanted to do. Then all
the Merry Little Breezes took turns
in blowing that old fence-rail, for
this is what they had discovered, out
toward the Big Hickory tree. It was
slow work and the Merry Little
