He didn't need to be told who was
making it. There was only one who
could make such 4 sound as that
Mr.. Blacksnake.

faster. If my legs can't save me,
my wits must" thought Danny, as
he started to run as fast as ever he
could. II must reach that fallen
old hollow fencepost."
He was almost out Of breath when
he reached the post and scurried
into the open end, and he knew by
the sound Of the rustling that Mr.
Blacksnake was right at his heels,
Now, the old post was hollow its

of Mr.. Blacksnake's tail disappear

Danny did? Why, he followed Mr.
Blacksnake right into the old post
but In doing 1t he didn't make the
least little bit Of noise.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

Danny Meadow Mouse started
along one of his private little paths
very early one morning. He was on
his way to get supply of q. GER
tain kind Of grass seed, Of which he
was very fond. He had been think
ing about that seed for some time
and waiting for it to get ripe. Now
1t was just right. as he had found
out the day before by a visit to, the
place where this particular grass
grew. The only trouble was 1t grew
a long way from Danny's home, and
to reach it he had to cross an open
place where the grass was SO short
that he couldn't make a path under.
Il feel it in my bones that this is
going to be an exciting day." said
Danny to himself as he trotted
along. II suppose that If I was
really wise would stay nearer home
and do without that nice seed. But
nothing is really worth having un-
less it is worth working for, and that
seed will taste all the better If
have hard work getting it."
So he trotted along his private
little path with his ears wide open
and his eyes wide open and his little
nose carefully testing every Merry
Little Breeze which happened along
for any scent of danger which it
might carry. Most Of all, he de-
pended upon his ears, for the grass
was SO tall that he couldn't see over
It, even when he sat up. He had
gone only . little way when he
thought he heard = queer rustlins
behind him. h Geopped 70 NSten

We have been too busy to consult
them; often. we waste valuable time
in the laboratory.
Bombardier beetles belong to the
order of insects scientifically called
Coleoptera, which means sheath
wing. They prefer damp places.
These warriors may even be found
in squads, and one may be fortunate
and witness gas attack. This
experience is not at all impossible.
Indeed, many nature lovers have
been present when the gas bombers
were in action.
Since the "encampment" is under
almost any object in damp woods or
fields. the Army may be found either
in action or come out of concealment
while you are resting along the trail
The soldiers are clad in shining
armor. Indeed, the uniforms are de-
cidely military in appearance. The
caps and body are red, the wing
covers blue. If disturbed by foes
small animals, lizards, reptiles and
birds-the squad rushes out and the
gas screen is laid down at once.
It is astonishing how potent this
gas is. No sooner do you actually
hear the pop, pop" as each volley
is fired than you get Whit Of the
ill-smelling reddish acid spray. As
it comes in contact with the air, it
turns into blush smoke. This
screen permits the Army to escape,
and the oncoming Toe u badly

Being curious to find out how
strong this gas is, you try to see how
the barrage is laid down and come
too close to the gun. A full charge
in the eye causes great discomfort,
for the gas stings like fire and the
pungent fluid is bitter and sour. The
skin is greatly irritated for an hour
or more. This is ample proofe OF
what barrage can do to pursuing
enemies.
Besides having gas bombs always
loaded and ready, these warriors
are swift-footed. They are built
along streamlines, and their armor
offers little resistance to low growth
Gungle to themD through which
they flee. Should there be any rea-
son why the retreating army feels
it is wise to take to the air, the
monoplane-like wings are used
These are so compactly fitted under
the hard outside wing cases or
shields, that they are always pro-
tected from wear and tear. How
ever, the bomber is never eager to
use flight as a way Of escape, since
raising the shields make him sus-
ceptible to attack by bird enemies
It Is interesting to note that the
armor of these beetles is almost i'm
pervious to attack from most Of their
foes. and that many of their neigh
bors are quite aware OF their gas
guns.
