he was in that familiar little path
he felt that if there should appear
any sudden danger he would know
just where to hide and what to do.
But the instant he left that little
path he was stranger in strange
place. He didn't know where there
was a single hiding place and if
danger should appear he would have
to trust wholly to his wits to save
his life. 1t was very exciting.
While he was in his private little
path he could run as fast as he
pleased, but now he had to go rather
slowly. He had to pick his way
where the grass stems were not too
close together. Then, too, he tried
to keep in the Black Shadows
Being such little fellow he couldn't
see over the grass and so never
could be sure that the way was
clear and safe. So, feeling safer in
the friendly Black Shadows, he kept
to these as closely as he could
Doing this meant, of course, that he
couldn't keep to straight line, so
by the time he was so tired he just
had to rest Danny really wasn't SO
very far out in the Great World
after all, although it seemed to him
that he had travelled ever and ever
so far.
When he grew so tired that he
felt that he had got to rest he kept
his eyes open for a place in which
to hide. 1t wouldn't do to simply
sit down anywhere because some
enemy might happen along, and if
he was too tired to run and there
was no hiding place near, that would
be the end of him. So, though every
step made his legs and feet ache
he kept on until he came to a pile
of brush which Farmer Brown had
made while clearing out some bushes
which had grown along a fence.
Danny crept under the edge of
this and sat down quite out Of
breath and very tired. Hardly had
he done SO when he heard soft, very
soft footsteps. He peeped out and
there in the moonlight was Old
Man Coyote. He was trotting along
with his sharp eyes cooked and his
keen nose smelling Of the ground.
He was hunting for a dinner.
Danny's heart beat fast as he
watched. Old Man Coyote had
passed the pile of brush and Danny
was beginning to breathe easier.
Suddenly Old Man Coyote turned
and looked straight toward him.
Then he trotted straight toward that
pile of brush. You see, he knew that
a pile of brush like that might easily
hide good dinner, and he didn't
intend to overlook anything. Danny
crawled farther under the brush and
his heart went thump, thump,
thump.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Danny Meadow Mouse had started
forth adventuring. That is, he had
started out to see something more
of the Great World than the little
bit where his home was, and I sus-
pect that down inside that little
gray, warm coat Of his he felt very
much as Mr.. Columbus did when he
sailed away to discover America. OF
course, he didn't know he was going
to discover America. He didn't
know there was such a place as
America.
Nanny Meadow Mouse had bravely
winked back the tears as she bade
Danny good-by. Danny might not
be afraid, but she was. She was
afraid for him. But she didn't let
Danny see those tears So Danny
started forth in the moonlight as
bravely as you please. He chose to
travel at night because he felt that
It would be safer. Hooty the Owl
was the only one to watch out from
above and Hooty was over in the
Green Forest. Danny knew that
because he had waited until he
heard Hooty's voice over there
Granny and Reddy Fox had spent
the afternoon hunting on the Green
Meadows, so Danny knew that they
were hardly likely to be back there
again that day. Then a moonlight
night was a good time to travel for
another reason. Moonlight makes
great many Black Shadows.
When there is no moonlight the
Black Shadows are 50 crowded to-
gether that all is darkness, but when
gentle Mistress Moon Is shining and
pouring her silvery light down on
the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest the Black Shadows are scat
tered. They look blacker than ever
and they are very friendly to little
people like Danny Meadow Mouse
You see, the Black Shadows will
hide little people like Danny while
big people like Reddy Fox and Old
Many Coyote cannot hide in them
and in the silvery light of Mistress
Moon are easily seen. So Danny
felt that everything was quite as it
should be for him to start out to
see the Great World.
For quite long way Danny fol-
lowed one Of his own private little
paths and until he reached the end
Of that he didn't feel the real thrill
of adventuring. But the minute he
stepped out OF that familiar little
path into the unfamiliar and the
unknown he tingled all over with
the funniest feeling, mixedup kline
of feeling, little scary, a little
eager, little doubtful and a whole
lot expectant. You see, as long a.

North and South revealed their

Officer candidates of the Wo-

Not all SPAR Officer candidates
are college graduates. But they
must have at least two years of
college training and two years of

experience to qualify as officer can
