was free l wouldn't be afraid of
him at all. It'd like to tell some
of the other little Green Forest
people about him. If only"
Chatterer didn't finish Instead a
great lump filled his throat You
see, he was thinking Of the Green
Forest and the Old orchard and
how he used to race through the
treetops and along the stone wall
Half the fun in life had been in
running and jumping, and now
there wasn't room in this little
prison to stretch his legs If only
he could run-run as hard as ever
he knew how-once in a while, he
felt that his prison wouldn't be
quite so hard to put up with
That very afternoon, while Chat
terer was taking a nap in his bed
In the hollow stump. something was
slipped over his little round door
way, and Chatterer aWoke in a ter
rlble fright to find himself a pris-
oner inside his hollow stump. There
was nothing he could do about it
but just lie there in his bed and
shake with fright and wonder what
dreadful thing was going to happen
next. He could hear Farmer Brown s
boy very busy about something in
his cage. After a long time his
little round doorway let in the light
once more. 1t had been opened

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME
DRAETlE

Chatterer the Red Squirrel the
mischief maker Of the Green For
est. never had been more comfort
able in his life. No matter how
rough Brother North Wind roared
across the Green Meadow and
through the Green Forest, piling
the snow in great drifts, he couldn't
send so much as one tiny shiver
through the little red coat of Chat
terer. And always right at hand
was plenty to eat-corn and nuts
and other good things such as Chat
terer loved, No, he never had been
so comfortable in all his life. But
he wasn't happy, not truly happy
You see. he was in prison, and no
matter how nice a prison may be,
no one can be truly happy there.
Chatterer's prison was a nice
roomy cage made oy Farmer Browns
boy and kept in Farmer Browns S
house. That is the reason Chat
terer had nothing to fear from cold
rough Brother North Wind. Since
he had been a prisoner. Chatterer
had learned to think very different
ly OF Farmer Browns boy from
what he used to think. In fact, he
and Farmer Browns boy had be-
come very good friends. for Farmer
Browns boy was gentle and always
brought him something good to
eat

BY Thornton w. BURGESS

At first Chatterer didn't dare go
out. but he heard the soft little
whistle with which Farmer Browns
boy always called him when he had
something especially nice for him
to eat, so at last he peeped out
There on the floor of the cage were
some Of the incest nuts. Chatterer
came out at once. Then his sharp
eyes discovered something else. It
was queer-looking thing made
of wire at one end of his cage.
Chatterer looked at it with great
suspicion. Could it be a new kind
of trap? But what would a trap
be doing there when he already was
prisoner? He ate all the nuts,
all the time watching this new
queer looking thing. 1t seemed
harmless enough. He went a little
nearer. Finally he hoped into it.
1t moved OF course, that fright
ened him and he started to run up
But he didn't go up. No, sir. he
didn't go up, You see. he was in a
wire wheel. and as he ran the wheel
went around. Chatterer was terri
bly, frightened. and the faster he
tried to run the faster the wheel
went around. Finally he had to
stop because he was out of tn
and too tired to run another step.
When he stopped the wheel stopped.
Little by little Chatterer began
