—Danny Meadow Mouse.
The Snowy Cousin of Longlegs.
Danny Meadow Mouse was feeling
more and more at home. There were
so many wonderful things to see
that most of the time he forgot he
was lonesome. In fact, the only
times he really felt lonesome were
when he curled up for his mips. He
saw Mocker the Mockingbird often,
and still more often heard nlm sing

mer the Hummingbird. These

noticed that this bird was not quite
as l»lg as Longlegs.
"Anyway, he must belong to the
same family," thought Danny. "I
wonder If It will he safe to speak to
him. 1 never did dare get very near
to Uonglegs, for 1 have known him
to snap up a .Meadow Mouse in the
same way he does frogs and fLsh.
Perhaps this fellow doesn't eat Mea
dow Mice. Anyway, 1 can keep at a
safe distance."
The big, white bird was motion
less, with -head drawn back on his
shoulders anil appeared to l>e asleep.
Danny could see his long, yellow hill,

"Do you belong to the Heron fam

The stranger straightened up sud

“Certainly, I'm a cousin,” said the
stranger, “hut who may you be?”
Danny. “I certainly do,” said he. "I
certainly do. Why?”
“Then you must be a cousin of
Donglegs the Great Blue Heron. I
just wanted to make sure," replied
Danny politely.
“Certainly I'm a cousin.” said the
stranger. “But who may you be?”
“I'm Danny Meadow Mouse.” re
plied Danny, "and I've come down
from way up North to see what the
Sunny South is like. My, how hand
some you are"’
The stranger looked pleased. He
stretched his broad, white wings and
fluffed out all hi3 feathers. He
stretched up to his full height. “I'm
glad you think so," said hp. "But
you should see me in the spring.
Then I am handsome, for It U then
that I have on my back the most
wonderful plumes. I am too hand
some. Yes. s;r. I am too handsome.
There are only a f.-w'm. a ' ei« ■ f)ny
