"Hurrah!" shouted Peter, kicking
his long heels together. Are you
sure of it, Sammy Jay?"
But Sammy was already on his
way to tell Danny Meadow Mouse
and couldn't stop to answer. Danny
was just as much pleased as Peter,
and he and Nanny Meadow Mouse
had little celebration all to them
selves. You see, it meant just one
less worry for them. Sammy hur-
ried up to the Old Orchard to tell
Johnny Chuck, who didn't seem to
care, and then flew over to the Smil-
ing Pool. Jerry Muskrat saw him
coming and he knew by the way
Sammy was hurrying that he was
very much excited.
Sammy Jay has got something
on his mind" said Jerry to Grand
father Frog. Il wonder what has
happened now"
When Sammy reached the big
hickory tree on the bank of the
Smiling Pool he was quite out of
breath. AS soon as he could get
enough to speak he gasped: "Old
Man Coyote has left the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest!"
Whats that?" demanded Jerry
Muskrat.
Sammy repeated what he had
said. How do you know" asked
Jerry Muskrat.
Because his house is deserted
and l have looked everywhere for
him and not found him." replied
Sammy.
HUH" grunted Grandfather
Frog.
Sammy glared down at GRANDPA
Their Frog. Did you speak," he
asked
81 said HUH" replied Grandfather
Frog. "Just because you haven't
been able to find him is no proof
that Old Man Coyote has really
left"
$50 you don't believe it?" snapped
Sammy.
NO" replied Grandfather Frog
bluntly, Il don't believe it."
At once Sammy Jay lost his tenn
per. You know, he loses it very cas-
lily. He said that he knew it was
so. He called Grandfather Frog a
stupid old know-nothing, and finally
few off to the Green Forest, scream
ing angrily.
Just after jolly, round, red Mr..
Sun sank behind the Purple Hills
that night sound was heard that
made many little people on the
Green Meadows and in the Green
Forest SILVER. Peter Rabbit heard
it and his heart sank. Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse heard it and
drew close to each other. Grand
father Frog heard it and smiled.
Sammy Jay heard it and felt, oh,
so cheap. It was the voice of Old
Man Coyote.

Borrowed Time Club

A strange organization entitled
Borrowed Timers" exists in Ellen
burg Wash. Every one of its men,
bers has been marked for death by
his doctor Not one has reached
the obituary column since the start
Of the organization in 1885.
They are a nonsectarian, self-gov-
erning and self-supporting group of
young and middle-aged people living
beyond the life spans predicted for
them by their physicians.
AS the club grew, it imposed a
few limitations on membership. One
is that 90 days must elapse, after a
physician has predicted the time of
death before a candidate can be-
come eligible. This is to: Il. Soft
en- the blow of physicians tragic
words 2. To offer encouragement
to the newly doomed. 8. To create
a desire to live in the condemned
and incite a mental and physical
effort to remain among the living"
The hardest obstacle the club had
to overcome was a periodic tagging
of spirits and a tendency to give
up But this, too. was conquered
by courage.

Deaf Persons Learn to

Through your toes, your teeth, or
even your funny bone, you can learn
TO hear.
And a score of men and women
afflicted with deafness had proved

the nations first class in rehabilita-
ton of the hard of hearing.
Under the direction of DR.. B. v.
Morkovin, noted psychologist and
scientist, they learned to use a sci
entific mechanism known as the
Phipps unit, which transmits sounds
on the principle of bone induction.
Through development of the 9TH

SAMMY JAY JUMPS AT .
CONCLUSIONS

CONCLUSIONS sounds like a
~ very big and important word,
but really, it is quite simple. To
Jump at conclusions is to make up
your mind that thing is or isn't so
without really knowing. 1t was just
this way with Sammy Jay when he
found that Old Man Coyote was no
longer living in his home in the far
corner of the Green Meadows. First,
he began to wonder if Old Man Coy
ote had left the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows. Then he
jumped to the conclusion that he
had. Just because he didn't find
him in the places where he was
used to seeing him he made up his
mind that Old Man Coyote had gone
away.

the news. He knew that it would
be good news, the very best of news,
to a great many of the little people
of the Green Meadows, especially
those who had to be always watch

gobble them up. So he spread his
blue wings and hurried over to the
