got into the henhouse. He hunted
about until he found the hole in the
dark corner. He knew that that hole
had been made by a rat, and at first
he thought it must have been rats
that killed that hen, and this in
creased his anger.
That afternoon he happened to
look out Of the barn door toward
the woodpile and he was just in
time to see a slim, brown form,
whisk out of sight under the wood.
"Iia, hal" exclaimed the farmer.

as he did, the farmer who owned
them would hunt for him, and then
he would have to move ca. He was
so comfortably located that he was
not anxious to move on. But one
must eat, and now that the rats had
disappeared and the mice had
learned to keep out of his way,
Billy's thoughts turned to those
hens.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

After the rats left the big barn,
Billy Mink found it less easy to get
plenty to eat. There were mice in
the big barn, and for several days
Billy managed to catch enough of
theses to keep from going hungry.
But mice can get into places too
small for Billy to follow, and those
that were left soon learned to keep
out of his way.
Then, Billy's thoughts turned TO
the hens in the henhouse. He had
not intended to kill any of those
hens because he knew that Is soon
Evening star., 1939-01-25

that Billy made up his mind to have
chicken dinner. He slipped under
the henhouse and up through hole
in the corner which he already knew
about. All the hens were roosting
high fast asleep, with their heads
under their wings.
Had Reddy Fox been in Billy
Mink's place he would have been
somewhat puzzled as to how he
should catch one of those hens. But
Billy wasn't puzzled. Not q bit Of

like a squirrel. Reddy Fox would
have had to jump, and probably
would have awakened and fright
ened the whole flock. Billy Mink
simply climbed up to one Of the
roosts, stole along it to the nearest
hen, and with one quick snap of
his stout little jaws he killed that
hen without even waking her.
Now, had Billy's cousin, Shadow
the Weasel, been in his place, he
would have gone right on killing
those hens from sheer love Of kill

ing. But Billy Mink killed that hen
simply because he must have some
thing to eat, and one hen was more
than enough to furnish him a din
ner. When he had finished his din
ner he went back to his snug bed
under the big woodpile.
OF course, when the farmer came
out to feed the hens in the morning
he discovered what had happened.
He didn't know who had killed that
hen, but no knew that it must have
been some one very SuDa0 to have

Structures That Will
Withstand Quokes
Adding 10 Pct. to Cost
Will Insure Safety.
Engineers Soy

Disregarding civic pride, some
American cities are now frankly
facing the menace Of earthquakes
and preparing for those that are
sure to come by building better
buildings that can Withstand earth
quake shocks with practical i'm
punity. Thus they are earning the
right to genuine pride in their gen.
uine earthquake safety. This new
trend has been going on especially
in California, where engineers con-
versant with earthquake science
have pointed out that by adding 10
per cent to the cost of building
local chambers of commerce can
adopt the slogan, Come to Califor-
MIA to enjoy the next earthquake, -
since properly constructed buildings
will withstand the shakings.
The rule Of building protection
as explained by David o. Woodbury.
in Scientific American, is to make
the buildings heavy and rigid, also to
tie them to firm foundations and
omit exterior ornamentations, which
shake of during a quake and kill
people beneath.
California is not, however, the
only earthquake State, for the
greatest quake in American history
took place in Missouri in 1911. Only
one State-North Dakota-has
never recorded destructive quake

quakes and is likely to have them
