Nanny Meadow Mouse, watching at a safe distance, saw Danny Meadow Molise climb lip on a little mound of aand and prepare to dig down in the middle of It. But he didn’t dig. No, sir. he didn't dig. He changed Ilia mind, and he changed it very and denly. You see. his quick ears heard some one in the ground Just below him. He listened for just a second, then turned anil scampered over to join Nanny. "IyK)k. Danny, look!" exclaimed Nanny in (treat excitement aa Dan ny joined her. You may he pure Danny turned and looked. Sand waa being pushed up from the very middle of that little mound. The’door was being opened, but it was being opened from the in side. The sand rolled down the sides of the little mound. Then out of the very middle a heat! was poked. Dan ny and Nanny held their breath. They hoped the owner of that head would cdtne wholly out. They knew | it must be the one Mi Mocker called Salamander. Mr. Mocker spoke once. "Hello, Salamander!” said he. Salamander looked up. "Hello, Mr. Mocker," he replied. * When did you vet back from the North?” THE NEBBS_ SAY IT WITH ROAST BEEF. Directed for The Omaha Bee by Sol Hes.

"If it Is so good to be back here why do you ever go .away?” Mr. Mocker chuckled. “Just to find out how good it Ls to get back,” *dd he. “I see by the mounds of sand around here that you are as busy a» ever. Come out where I can have a good look at you. You know’ It la a long time since 1 have seen you." “Hub:" replied Salamander again. But he came out. The wish of Danny Meadow Mouse was granted. He and Nanny had a splendid chance to see Salamander. He was anything but handsome. He was considerably big ger than Miner the Mole, but not as long as Bobber the Rat. He was very stout, and for his size looked to be very strong. He had almost no neck at all. He had a brown coat and a funny, short, little tail with almost no hair at all on it. His legs were short, and "I<ouk, Danny, look!" exclaimed Nan ny in great excitement as Danny joined her. the front ones very large and stout, and hail great curving claws. His eyes and his ears were very email, hour great cutting teeth, two above and two below, gave him an ugly ap pearance that made Nanny shiver, Hut stranger than anything else were the two great outside pockets, which seemed to cover each side of his head. ' I want you to meet two friends of mine, Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse." said Mr. Mocker, nodding td ward them. Salamander turned quickly In their direction with a look of suspicion in his small eyes. But when he saw how small were Danny and Nanny he tried to grin and look pleasant. This really made him look uglier than ever. "I ni glad to make the acquaint ance of friend* of my friend Mr. Mocker," said he. "Are you staying here long?” The next story: "The Real Gopher."

Tha worde "wounding Bess Dean ■ vanity," were scarcely out of my mouth before he answered w ith a, meaning smile which enlightened—and enraged me. "That's one of your best little stunts. Isn't it. trying to annex poor Bessie's little nanny? Well, let me toil you Something, my dear. That's a little job you won't succeed at in a thousand years. She is altogether to canny a lady. But if it'a any satis faction to you I can relieve your mind on T<eila's account. Confeasion is good for the aoul, they say. so 1 II give my spiritual organ a treat. Alfred had nothing to do with that little party in which tha car was wrecked, for your logical deduction was right—we did WTeck it. Alf will have to get another one, when he straightens out the insurance on that one—but your* truly was alone re sponsible for th» expedition. So you se*. your sympathy for l,eila has all been wasted You'd better—" He bfoke off In confusion, which 1 knew ml assumed. I was eelted with a sudden desire to laugli. for his ruse was a little too transparent. Sometime during our wordy battle he had become oheaeed with the Idea that it was my own jealousy which was behind my animosity against Hess Dean. Instead of concern for tjella. Thf discovery had appeased his anger and tickled his vanity, and hla "confession" had been deliberately concocted otit of whole cloth to fan my anger to a higher flame. Quoting hla own slangy parlance to myaelf I resolved grimly that he "wtjuld get away with nothing like that;" and I finished his sentence with a mix-king little laugh.

Your efforts are well meant, but neither particularly artistic nor con vincing." "Oh! I'll bite. What d'ye mean by that?" he demanded sulkily. “Just this,” I retorted boolly. "There probably are half a dozen distinct reasons w hy I should I a Jealous of you”—Dicky gave a dis tinct start and eyed me suspiciously —"if I ever indulged in that most unprofitable of all emotions. But Bes* Dean Is not one of the half dose* reasons. Neither is the friend whom for reasons of her own she brouglr to the Joy ride Into which she !» veigled you and Alfred. Yes, 'In veigled’ Is just the word, and If you were honest with yourself or with me. you would acknowledge that Bess Dean, for no reason except to gratify her—abnormal—vanity—” “I know fcvo or three more forcible adjectives—” Dicky interrupted with a gibing little laugh. "Has made a dead set at Alfred. T continued calmly, "regardless of Leila's feelings, and lias bamboozled him into thinking her the original all-around, faithful, family friend, with the corollary that dislike of her on Leila's part Is, rank ingratitude and unworthy prejudice. Nice pros pect for Leila, but she Isn't going to have to face it thanks to Dr. Braith waite. Just where you come in I don't know—" "Nor care,” Dicky finished rough ly, his face darkening. "You don't need to rub that in, old dear. I'm quite aware of the fact that you wouldn't turn a hair no matter what you found out about me just so long as I didn’t make a public spectacle of myself and hurt your vanity. But just as an evidence of good faith and distinctly not for publication to I^ila. I'll tell you where I came in. It was also in the role of faithful friend, try ing to keep Alfred from making a bally ass of himself. You’re dead right about the Dean dame, and most of* the rest of it. Very clever deduction. But what you didn't know was that I've been trying to beat the truth about Bess Dean into Alf's noddle for some time, but I've had to go about it diplomatically. I'm glad Ed win has been able to use a sledge hammer. Now', if you’ll kindly ex cuse me. I'm going to get out of here for a few minutes." lie sprang up, seized his hat and coat and went hastily out of the door, w hich slammed after him as If reflect ing his turbulent mood.
