with the door of thia open, so that
they could go In the cage. Every

them and showed them to bla friends,
and never onre did he forget to keep
them supplied with plenty of food,

and they had grown to he fond of him.
Then one day he carelessly moved
the cage and forgot to put It back
close up to the door opening up Into
the little cupboard. Aficr lie had

little cupboard, and right away discov

"Come, Nanny, come," lie squeezed
In great excitement. "We can get
out."
Uf course, Nanny came at once. Site
followed right at Danny a heels. At
last they were free. Yes, sir, they
were free. They scrambled out of that
great man bird and down to the
ground. Then,they ran all about In
side that shed. They were looking
for a place to get out. It didn't take
them long to discover that the shed
was built on sand and had no floor.
Danny began digging, and soon he had
a little hole right under one wall,
in almost no time at all he was out
side. Nanny followed him. They
each drew a long breath. They were
no longer prisoners. They were free.
They could go where they pleased
So after hesitating a moment or two
she hurried after Danny
and do what they pleased. It was a
glorious feeling. For * while they
could think of nothing else. They
just sat outside that shed, listening
to the strange sounds and looking at
the strange sights.
Right back of the shed strange
plants were growing. They grew so
closely that any one as small as a
Meadow Mouse could remain quite
hidden under them from the sharp
est ey&s.
‘Tome on!" cried Danny. “Let's
go see what the Sunny South is like.”
Nanny, who was more timid, hesi
tated. “We'll get lost." said she. “We
don’t know what dangers there may
lie down here. We don't-know what
enemies to watch out for. I'm afraid,
Danny.”
"Nonsense!” cried Danny. “What
is the good of being afraid. We can
always come back here to our nest
in the big man-bird if we want to. I
don't believe there is anything to be
afraid of. Anyway. I'm going to find
out. You may stay here if you want
to,"
But Nanny didn't want to stay
alone. Staying alone in this strange
land would be worse than going ad
venturing. So. after hesitating a mo
ment or two, she hurried after Danny
and was soon right at ills heels.
