I/ittle Robber the Cotton Rat.
Somehow Danny and Nanny MemV
ow Mouse had lost interest in the)
| old woi'd prown cotton field since see
I mj? the owner of the private little
ipnlha they had found there. As soon
ns they were sure that the stranger
was far enough away for them to
move without danger of being heard,
they scampered for their new home.
“Did you get a good look at that
tail?" Nanny asked when they had
reached home.
“Yes.” replied Danny, ”1 did.''
“Well, «hat did you think <t it?''
asked Nanny.
"I think,” replied Danny, “that :t
is the tail of a Hat. No member
of the Meadow Mouse family ever
had a tail like that. Somehow 1
didn't like that fellows looks the
second time »e saw him. He didn t
look quit* so mean aa Robber the

“That a the most sensible thing 1 ve

Nanny.

retorted Danny.

he expected to. A sharp voice right
at the doorway of their home under
the old stump demanded to know who
was in there.
"Two people minding their own
business, and that, is no business of
yours," squeaked Danny most impo
litely, for he hadn't liked the tone
in which the question had been
asked.
"Oh. yes, it is business of mine,"
retorted tlie stranger outside. "You
have been overusing my private
paths in the old cotton field, and that
is something I won’t allow any
strangers to do. If I catch you over
there you’ll wish you were some
where else ’’
Danny and Nanny knew now that
they were talking with the stranger
they had seen over in the old cotton
Held. They know he must have found
their scent and followed them home.
"Who are you to say what v.'
shall do and what we shall not do?"
demanded Danny, trying to appear
bold and brave.
I have a half mind to come in there
and teach you a lesson as it is."
"I 11 tell you who I am. I'm Little
Robber the Cotton Rat," retorted the
stranger.
"I told >ou he is a cousin of Rob
ber" whispered Nanny to Danr.y.
"I'm not afraid of any one my size,
and there are some folks bigger than
I who get out of rny way when they
see me coming," continued Little
Robber. "I don't like strangers Just
remember that and keep away from
that old cotton field. r have half
a mind to come in there and teach
you a lesson.”
"Come right along," Invited Dan
r.y. trying to appear bold.
But I.itt'e Rnbter had no Intention
of doing anything of the kind. He
knew that it would be two to one
P.es.des, that entrance would be a
tight S'l'i'oze to get through. So he
was content to say a few more un
pleasant things, and then went off
about his litis.ne^s.

DIES FROM
HEART FAILURE
More and more often we hear of
people dying from heart failure. A
large number of deaths from heart
and kidney diseases is due to the
frequent use of cold and headach.
■ remedies containing Acetanilide, t
drug that destroys the blood, de
generates the. heart, kidneys ar.d
liver and often forms a habit.
To combat the harm done to the
health of millions by remedies con
taining Acetanilide, chemists have
recently perfected a preparation
called Nebrin, which is free from
Acetanilide or other harmful drugs
and which can he used with ab
solute safety as a household remedy
for colds, headaches, neuralgia,
rheumatism and pains in general.
Kyerv intelligent health-loving
iman and woman is urged to discon
tinue the use of cold and headache
; mixtures containing the ham.f ,
|Acetanilide and to insist upon and
.get Nebrin, the remedy that is safe.
! harmless and efficient in every way
| Aspirin users will also do well :•
I giving Nebrin a trial. They will a*
(ways find Nebrin safer, and a good
