BURGESS BEDTIME STORIES By THORNTON W. BURGESS. Danny Has a Sudden Fright. To Danny Meadow Mouse Grandpa Pelican was such a funny looking fellow, whether flying, fishing or sit ting on an old stump, that Danny spent a great deal of time watching him. From Morker the Mockingbird he found out that Grandpa Pelican lived wholly on fish, and so whs not to be feared. When l>atiny had noth ing else to do he would go over to the bank of the river to see if Grandpa Pelican was there sitting on that old stump Sometimes Grandpa Pelican was off fishing. Then 1 >anny would wait for his return. This is what he was doing one day when lie heard a slight noise in a tree, which overhung the water very near him. Danny peered up through the leaves anxiously. You see he never 1 new when danger might be near. At first he saw nothing suspicious. Then there was a movement of something long and slim and black. A cold shiver of fear ran all over Danny. "It is one of Mr. Blaeksnake’s cousins up In that tree!" thought Danny, and he held his breath. What he saw certainly did look like the head, neck and part of the body of Mr. Hlacksnako. For a moment or two it was motionless. Then it moved again, and it moved in such a THE NEBBS— DIPLOMACY.

Danny himself didn’t move. No, sir, he didn't move. He was too frightened to move. Kven had ho been less frightened he wouldn't have moved, for ho felt sure that he had not yet been seen. Again that snaky head and neck moved, and this time the head turned so that Duririy could see it clearly. He almost squeaked aloud in his sur prise. This Snake, for he was still sure it was a member of Mr. Black snake's family, actually had a long, slender, very sharp bill! At least it looked so to Danny. He never had heard of a snake with a bill, but then ho had already seen many strange things he never had heard of, and he was ready to believe almost any thing. That head moved again, and he could no longer see the bill. But he could see the slim, greeful neck and "It is one of Mr. Blarksnake’* cous in* up in that tree,” thought Danny, and held his breath. that was enough. He knew that he himself hadn't been seen yet, and he began to wish with all his might for a chance to get away without being scon. Supposing that snake should come down on the ground.
