The Voire in the Night.
Danny Meadow Mouse had mede
up his mind that he had had adven
tures enough, end that he would go
straight back to the man-bird, or
airplane, which had brought him
down to the Sunny South, and in
which he felt sure Nanny Meadow
Mouse was waiting for him Rut
when he started to go lan k h»- soon
found that he hadn't the least Idea
where that great man bird was He
was lost. Yes. sir, Danny was lost.
"Oh, dear!" whimpered Manny. “Oh,
dear! Oh dear me! Whatever shall I
doT I'm lost. I kmrw I'm lost. And
I'm so tired it doesn't seem as if I
can run another step. 1 ve just got
to rest a while I've got to.”
i»o Danny stopped trying to find hia
way hark to the great man-bird, and
instead looked for a safg hiding plane.
At last he found an oli^ktump with
a little hole under the roots. It
I was h hole Just big enough for him
to get through. He made puis that
no on* was inside. Then he crept In.
But. tired as he was, he couldn t
curl up and go to sleep right away.
So for gome time he sat peeping out
of that little hole and wondering
what would hapiien next. What did
happen wan the rnmisg of darkness.
The Black Shadows did not eonie
creeping, creeping as he was used to
seeing them do at home on the Oreen
Meadows. They cume with a rush.
There was none of the long, soft twi
light which Danny and many other
little people lov^ so well. It was

light, and then with almost no warn
ing at all it was dark. With a
little ahlv-r. which wh* part from
lonesomenes* and part from fear of
unknown thing*. Danny curled up
and *0011 was fast asleep.
Now Danny had had a very excit
ing day. He had traveled quite a
distance and he was very, very tired.
So he slept soundly. He was awak
ened by a terrible noise. He ehook
with fright. What kind of a noise
it waa he hadn’t the least idea But
in a moment he heard it again. It
was a roar, and Danny recognized it
as a voice. But never had lie heard
such a voice before, and he hadn’t the
least idea whose voice It was. It
really didn't make much difference
to Danny. He was too frightened
to care whose voice it was.
At last lie found an old stump with
a little hole under the roots.
Danny shivered and shook. and
wished with all his might he had
never gone near that great man-bird
which had brought him down to the
Sunny South. Yes. sir. he wished Just
that. Again he heard that dreadful
voice that seemed to make the air
fairly shake. And then he noticed a
queer smell. In a way it reminded
him of the scent which Jerry Muskrat
uses. But he knew that Jerry was
way back in the North, and so, of
course, it couldn’t be his scent. Be
sides it was different.
As Danny listened in fear and
trembling for the roar of that great
voice again he heard other voices
of the night. All were strange. There

Joy Ride on Street Car
ISipped by Conductor
G-r-r-r-r! Passengers half asleep as
a north bound street car glides swift,
ly through the surrounding darknem
were suddenly awakened from their
dreams of home and rest after a day
of arduous toll. Or perhaps an eve
ning visit equally tedious. And right
then the car was filled with the aound
of chuckling instead of heavy bresth
ing and subdued snores.
The car had stopped at one of the
lamp posts scattered along the 111
lighted street. The conductor was
certainly perplexed. No less the pas
senger.
“Get off!’’ commanded the repre
sentative of ye trolley line. Thera
was no response.
Every dog has his day. But this one
did not, at least that time
"Say, is this your dog?" asked tha
conductor of a sturdy red cheeked
man who had Just entered.
“No, he just followed me," came
the reply. The passengers chuckled.
“Beat It!" repeated the conductor.
"Woof, woof!" The white and tan
squared himself and opened his jaws
hungrily. Or waa It Just a yawn?
The conductor paused, hut only for
a momgnt. In an instant he had
stooped and lifted thp surprised dog.
The next second the would-be pas
senger was deposited on the side
walk.
Clang! The car moved on. Passen
gers fell Into their lethargy. And a
deeply grieved street dog slunk off
Into the cold darkness of the nig Vx,
Egyptian excavators at the tomb
of Pharaoh Tut-Ankh-Amen earn 12
cents a day. Moet of the laborers are
boys of 10 to 18, but some are grow n
mer, who support two or three wives
on this slender remuneration.
