Burgess Bedtime
Stories
By THORNTON W. Bl'BGESS.
Danny Meadow Mouse was very.
very far indeed from the Green.
Meadows where he had lived all his^
life. He didn't know this, but he(
knew' he was in a strange place. The.
fact is. he was in the middle of a]
great, bare paxade ground where sol i
diers were drilled. The great man]
bird, as he called the airplane whichj
had brought him there, had landed
In the very middle of that great
parade ground. As Danny looked
about him there wasn’t a stick or a
stone to be seen. There was noth
ing under which a frightened little
Meadow Mouse could hide.
It was still bright daylight and
Danny ran back under the airplane.
It was shady there and he didn't
feel quite so frightened as he did
out in the light. Several times Danny
started to run across that great
open place, but each timo fear drove
him back before he had gone more
than a few feet. You see, he knew
that if an enemy should see him he
would have no chance at all.
After a while Danny realized that
he vtias very, very hungry. He had
eaten nothing since early that morn
ing, for he had been too frightened
to eat. Now he felt that he just had
to have food. But as far as he could
see there wasn’t even a blade fit grass.
Thn Danny remembered the feast
he had had In that man-bird, the
feast that had caused all his present
trouble. There was still some of that
food left. In fact, there was a whole
sandwich.

get some of it,'* said Danny to him
self. “I s'mply have got to have
food. Perhaps the best place for
me, after all, is Inside there until
dark. Then I may be able to get
across this awful great bare space.”
So Danny scrambled back up Into
the airplane again. That sandwich
was lying right where he had last
seen It. Danny dragged It over close

to the door of the tiny cupboard In
which he had hidden during that
strange, long ride. Then with his
head just out of the crack made by
that slightly open little door he be
gan to feast. With every mouthful
he felt better. Never had food tasted
so good. You see, for such a little
fellow Danny had been without food
for a long time.
He was so busy stuffing himself
that he didn't hear footsteps ap
proaching. It was the aviator who
had guided that machine there. He
had come hark to do some work on
the man-bird. Danny had pulled the
little piece of bread crust inside the
cupboard and had eaten It there. He
poked his head out to get another ,
piece just as the aviator looked lr*,
the machine. They saw each other
at the same Instant. Danny darted
back Into the tiny cupboard.
"Well! Well! Well! I must have
had a passenger and didn't know it!"
exclaimed the aviator. "That Mouse
must have gotten In back where I
started on the Green Meadows. I
wonder what he thought of his ride.
I'll see If I can't keep him." He
reached over and closed the little door
of the tiny cupboard. Danny Mea
dow Mouse was a prisoner.
Then Danny wished he hadn’t
climbed back into that tig man-bird.
Rut really he had dope the wise
thing. He didn't know it. but he
had done the wise thing. He was
safe there, whereas he wouldn't have
teen safe at all if he had tried to
cross that great, i>are, oi>«n space.

War Dept. Employee
Offers Strong Proofs
"The Tanlac treatment is good in
the fullest sense of the word," is the
concise manner in which P. M. Hul>
ard, 313 Cameron street, Alexandria,
Va., a clerk in the War department,
Washington, V. C . recently spoke of
his experience with the medicine.
"For more than a year past I
have suffered fr m a nervous, run
down condition. My digestive organs
did not work right, I had little ap
petite and what I did eat failed to
give me proper nourishment. My
rest at night was broken, my nerves
unstrung. I was considerably under
weight, had lost much energy and
always felt more or less fagged out.
"I bought Tanlac on the advict
of a friend and can say that It fully
met my needs in every way. X now
fee! stronger and belter by far thar
I have in months. I eat well and
sleep well, have gained up In weigh!
and energy and feel renewed in every
way."
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug
e'sts. Accept no substitute. Over 37
millioa bottles sold.

that I could hard.y
do my work. I was
tired all the time,
and dizzy, and
could not sleep
and had no appe
tite. I tried differ

years, but tb*?.
did cot help me. "*
Then I read in
the papers about
Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable
Compound and what it had cone xor
other women and gave it a trial. I be
pan to eat better and could sleep, ar.d
consider it a wonderful medicine. I
recommend it to my friends and will
never be without it- — Mrs-M.OHLEN,

It is such letters as these that tes
tify to the value of Lydia E. Pink

man speaks from the fullness cf hei
heart. She describes as correctly as
she can her condition, first the symp
toms that bothered her the most, and
later the disappearance of those
symptoms. It is a sincere expression
of gratitude.
For nearly fifty years Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound baa
been so praised by women.
