The morning that the men went to
hunt for the home of Trader the
Wood Rat to get back the nuts and
bolts and screws so much needed to
repair the great man-bird Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse did not go back
to their second home under a stump
where they were in the habit of spend
ing their days. No, sir, they didn't.
They remained light there in their
nest in the ilttlc cupboard in the air
plane. Danny had been ready to start
at die first hint of daylight. But
Nanny had said that she wasn't go
ing. Danny couldn't understand it. Al
ways Nanny had been the one In the
greatest hurry to leave, anxious to
get away before the arrival of the
men for their daily work.
"Not going!" cried Danny. "Did 1
hear you say you are not going?”
•■yes. my dear, you hoard me say 1
am not going," replied Nanri>\

will find me right here and no one
will lie any tlie wiser,'" was .Nanny’s
reply.
Danny didn’t know what to make of
it. He couldn’t understand it at all.
He actually did start off. He didn't
go to their day home under the
stump. Instead he started over to call
on Trader toe Wood Rat. But on the
way he caught a glimpse of Gray Fox
and promptly hid. There he remained
a long time, not daring to come out.
It was just as he had made up his
mind that the way was clear that
lie heard voices of men. They passed
very close to his hiding place and
they went straight toward the home
of Trader. Danny didn't think any
thing about this at the time. But
when he got w here he could *see what
was going on he discovered to his
dismay that those men were tearing
the home of Trader the Wood Rat to
pieces. He didn’t know what to make
of it. He started to run back at once
to tell Nanny. But curiosity got the
better of him. He wanted to see what
would happen to Trader the "Wood
Rat.
So Danny remained where he could
see but not be seen, until at last he
saw Trader run out of his home and
escape. That was a relief to Danny.
But the men didn't stop tearing that
nest apart until there was nothing
more to tear. They didn’t seem in
the least disappointed over not find
ing Trader. In fact, they seemed In

the best of spirits when at last they
climbed down out of the tree, and the
whole party started toward the great
man-bird.
Danny scampered ahead of them.
He scampered just as fast as those
short legs could take him. He must
get there first. He must get Nanny
out of that great man-bird before
those men got there. Having seen
what they had done to Trader's home.
Danny was filled with fear o^ what
they might do to their home.
Into the airplane he s rambled, and
poked his head into the little cup
board where their nest was, "Come,
Nanny. Come right away," he panted
in his squeaky, little voice.
"I'm not coming." replied Nanny
very softly. "I cun^ leave here. I told
you this morning I was going to stay
here."
"What nonsense ’ cried Danny. *
Nanny crept close to Danny and
whispered in one of his funny little
ears.
"What? Wha—w ha—w hat?" gasped
Danny as If he had once more lost
his breath.
"It’s true,” replied Nanny happily.
"And we’ve got to keep it a secret.
There are five. Danny! Just think of
It. there are five!”
