It happened that the aviator, the man who flew that machine, was cousin to Farmer Brown's Boy and was staying at Farmer Brown's. That is why he had landed down there on the Ureen Meadows. The night of his return Danny Mea dow Mouse was too happy to give a thought to the man-bird. But when early the next morning lie peeped out he saw at once that the great man bird was still there, right away he thought of the good things to eat which he had had during hia wonder ful journey. He knew that there vere some of those good things still .n that man-bird, of eourat, he wasn't the least hit afraid of it any more. "Come with me, Ninny, and we'll have a feast”’ cried Danny. ‘.‘Over in the man-bird.” replied Danny.
