Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Happy Jack Squirrel awoke when
the first jolly Little Sunbeam slyly
peeped in his doorway. Happy
Jack yawned and stretched and
then lay quiet for a few minutes
and his little gray head was filled
with pleasant thoughts.
II haven't thing in the world
to worry about now" thought he.
mo sir, I haven't a thing in the
world to worry about. My own
storehouse is filled so that it is
fairly running over, and besides
this I have that new storehouse
filled with the supplies that were
Chatterer's. would like to see him
when he finds out that that store
house OF his is empty. OF course,
l wouldn't have taken all if hadn't
known that he has other store
houses. Now let Jack Frost and
rough Brother North Wind come
as soon as they please and do their
worst. I've got enough to eat and
enough is plenty"
Happy Jack climbed up to his
round doorway and there he sat for
few minutes blinking at the Jolly
Little Sunbeams. Then he jumped
out on the nearest branch and
washed his face and hands. After
this he brushed his coat and care
fully combed his tail. Happy Jack
is nothing if not neat.
When he was satisfied that he
was looking his best he decided
that it was time for breakfast. Or
dinarily he would have hunted for
his breakfast and not gone near
his Storehouse. The food in Happy
Jacks StorehOuSe is for times when
he can't find any elsewhere. But
this morning Happy Jack decided
that he would get his breakfast at
his storehouSe. He felt that there
was no reason why he shouldn't.
He could afford to because he had
that second storehouSe which he
had filled with the stolen supplies
from his cousin Chatterer's store
house.
So with hop, skip and jump,
Happy Jack reached the doorway
OF his storehouse and popped in
side. Sammy Jay, who had been
watching, chuckled as he saw Happy
Jacks gray tail vanish inside.
Hardly had 1t disappeared when
out popped Happy Jacks head and
If ever there was a crazy looking
squirrel, that one was Happy Jack.
Out he came and he acted as crazy
as he looked. He raced this way
and that way, up the tree and down
the tree, and all the time he was
shrieking at the top of mis- voice.
OF course, all his neighbors hurried
over to find out what the trouble
was.
I've been robbed" shrieked
Happy Jack when Sammy Jay asked
him what the matter was. I've
been robbed There isn't single
nut or grain OF corn left in my
Storehousel III Starve this winter:
that's what will happen to mel"
Happy Jack had quite forgotten
that new supply he had stolen the
day before.
