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 But on the way lie caught a glimpse of Gray Fox anil promptly hid. 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!
