Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. burgess

Danny Meadow Mouse had taken
it into his funny little head to go
over to the Smiling Pool. Just why
he did it nobody knows. Perhaps
1t was because he wanted to consult
Grandfather Frog, who, you know,
is accounted very wise. Perhaps he
wanted to call on his big cousin,
Jerry Muskrat. Perhaps it was be-
cause he felt uneasy and wanted to
go somewhere for a change of scene.
Whatever the reason, Danny unex-
pectedly appeared one morning on
the bank of the Smiling Pool
The very first person he saw was
Grandfather Frog sitting on his big,
green lily pad. Good morning,
Grandfather Frog" squeaked Dam
ny.
Grandfather Frog turned about in
funny little hop of startled sur
prise and blinked his great, goggly
eyes at Danny Meadow Mouse.
"Chugarum," said he in a deep gruff
voice. What are you doing over
here, Danny Meadow Mouse
Nothing in particular" replied
Danny.
People who are doing nothing in
particular are very likely to get into
trouble. Don't you know that. DAN
ny Meadow Mouse?" demanded
Grandfather Frog.
Oh, 1 guess I can keep out of
trouble" squeaked Danny. Il don't
see any trouble around here. You're
looking very fine, Grandfather Frog.
You don't look day older than
when l last saw you"
Il don't feel a day older" replied
Grandfather Frog, and his voice was
not quite so gruff. You see, it rather
tickled him to be told that he looked
no older. "Of course, I'm glad to
see you, Danny" he continued, but
just the same think you are taking
chances in coming way over here
Longlegs the Blue Heron comes over
here almost every day, and have
an idea that he would just as soon,
and perhaps a little rather, have
fat Meadow Mouse for his dinner
than an old frog like me-"
Il believe you're not glad to see
me at all" declared Danny. You
are trying to scare me-"
No such thing" replied Grand
father Frog gruff1y. But I never
like to see anybody take unneces-
sary risks. You know, I believe in
safety first. Now what would you
do If Reddy Fox should suddenly
appear right behind you? You would
be in tight place. There isn't a
thing for you to hide under, and
hiding in the grass wouldn't do you
bit of good for that keen nose of
Reddy's would soon find you"
"Reddy isn't here, so what's the
good of borrowing trouble?" squeak
ed Danny. It's time enough to
worry when there is something to
worry about. Did you ever know a
finer day, Grandfather Frog?"

BULLETIN

Observation-Disclosures forces
were reported Monday 20 have
halted an attempted japanese
biitx down the Malayan psnln-
sula. Confidence WAS high that
the forces will prove able Ia
hold . strong line indefinitely
despite Withdrawals from ex-
posed northwestern kedah.
LONDON-British official cir
cles admitted Monday that tie
Japanese had either cut the Malay
peninsula in half or were able to
do so at any moment.
1t was admitted that this af-
fected communications between
Singapore and Burma, which
would have powerful Japanese
land forces between them.
Informants said there had
been heavy fighting In the
kedah area Of northwestern
Malay. with heavy casualties
on both sides, and admitted
that the British forces had
withdrawn slightly.
Official circles said also that
japanese forces who landed on
the east coast of Thailand had
worked their way across the mar
row kra isthmus to Victoria, at
the southern tip Of Burma and II
was uncertain at the moment
whether Victoria point and its air
field remained In British hands.
