ANOTHER VOICE IN THE NIGHT
How long Danny Meadow Mouse
had been shivering and shaking at
the sound of the dreadful voire In the
night he didn't know. It seemed to
him as if he had been shaking and
shivering for hours and hours and
hours. That was simply because he
was so frightened. At last he saw
light peeping into the entrance to his
hiding place under the old stump.
Danny sighed with relief. "It must
be daylight.” thought he. "Perhaps
that dreadful voice will stop in the
daylight."
But It wasn't daylight, it was moon
light. Danny, discovered this when
he ventured to peep outside. It nan
wonderful moonlight. It made hie
strange surroundings almost as light
as hy day. And then a» Danny sat
there peeping out he beard another
voire. It was a very lovely voice, anil
it was singing.
Danny's heart gate a leap for Joy
lie knew that voire. Yes, sir, he
knew that voice It was the voice
of Mr. Mocker the Mockingbird, and
IMnny knew by the sound that he
must bo In a tree light above that
old slump. I hinny dared to poke his
bead out. Then as Mr. Mocker sang
again Danny ventured to crawl out In
the moonlight, but tie took care not
to go more than a few steps from
'he eafety *f that hole under the old
■tump.
Mr. Mocker'* mng -'' rued abrupt
ly. "Well. well, well:" exclaimed Mr.
Mocker. "I thought you had gone
back to the great man-bird.’’
"I atarted to. hut 1 got lout,’* re
plied Danny. "Oh. Mr. Mocker, you
don't know how good it ia to hear

almost to death "
"That la too had," replied Mr
Mocker. “Couldn’t you find a saf*
hiding place?"
"I found a hiding place. It is righl
under this old stump, but I don’t
know how safe It la," replied Danny
“Somehow I don’t feel safe any
where.”
“That is because you havo not yoi
become acquainted with the Sunny
South." replied Mr. Mocker. "Thert
“But tell me, Mr. Mocker, what are
* you doing awake in the night?’’
nre just as many safe hiding places
here as op home where you came
from. In fact, I guess there are more.
But why aren’t you in that bole un
der the stump? What ara you doing
out here?”
"It was your voice that brought
me out,” replied Danny. "It was the
most welcome sound X ever heard.
But tell me, Mr. Mocker, what are
you doing awake in the night?”
"Oh,” replied Mr. Mocker, “I of
ten alng in the moonlight. It seema
to me that moonlight was made to
sing in. I just can t help singing on
a night like this. I often wake up
and sing awhile. There is nothing
more lovely than moonlight in the
Sunny South.”
Just then the air was shaken by
that terrible voice that had wakened
Danny and had so frightened him.
Vou should have seen him scamper
back under that old stump. He crept
just as far back’in the hole as he
could, and shivered and shock. Not
even when he heard Mr. Mocker call
ing did Danny move.
