MONTAGUE- .THEATRES mm av nruiin rmr a n rw 1 -zT&: CHAPTER XXI. One Way to Keep Warm. After making his strange wish about Ms 18 cousins that they would sleep straight through the winter Dickie Deer Mouse crawled out of bed. The sleepers filled the chamber so full that Dickie had to Dickie did not stay out all ni$ht Jong- step into the hall before he could itrctcli himself. For some reason he seemed to feel unusually stretchy. Generally when he waked up he sprang up at once and dashed out of his house, to nnd something to eat. But now he had half a mind to gq back to bed again. He did not do that, however, be cause he wanted td get away from his unwelcome guests for a time. So lie crept through his long hall and crawled out through his front door, into the -world above. To Dickie's great surprise a star tling change had come over the pas ture. The weather had cleared while he slept and the stars twinkled in the heavens above him. And the hillside pasture was white with a thick blanket of snow. It was cold, too much colder than it had been when Dickie went to sleep. Luckily a crust had formed upon the snow a crust that was just .strong enough to support Dickie's weight. And he made swiftly for the spruce woods to hunt for his supper, for he knew he could find nothing on the ground, covered as it was by the snow. Dickie felt even hungrier than he usually did when starting out of an evening to look for something to eat. But that was not strange, for without knowing it, he had slept several days and nights in the snug chamber with his cousins. Dickie did not stay out all night long. Yet he took time, before he went home, to hide a small store of spruce seeds in a hollow rail of the pasture- fence. He knew that be fore the long winter came td an end he would find that food in the woods would grow alarmingly scarce:. .Long before daybreak Dickie ' Deer Mouse, was glad to return to the underground chamber. And as he crept into the crowded room he thought it the coziest home' he had ever had. He knew, at last, what made the place so warm. The soft, round bodies of his 18 cousin.? heated it almost as well as if he had had a real stove. It was lucky for him, after all, that Fatty Coon had told them about Dickie's hew house. And now Dickie only hoped that none of them would leave before spring. That snowstorm proved to be only the hrst warning or winter. In a few days the weather grew quite warm again. And to Dickie's dis may the three families of cousins waked up and went out of doors to jV- the air and gather seeds and wch thin-shelled nuts as they could find. They did not eat all that they picked up. Like Dickie Deer Mouse they stored some of the food in secret nooks and crannies against a time of need. That first early snowstorm : had -been a good thing for the dwjellers ill the underground chamber. It had warned them that winter was com ing. And during the weeks that passed before the whole countryside became snow-bound they managed to gather enough nuts and seeds to last them through any ordinary win terif they didn't eat too heartily. -When the reat winter finally descended upon Pleasant Valley it found the Deer Mouse cousins quite ready for it. And even if Dickie's relations did wake up now and then, when the weather wasn't too cold, they slept soundly enough at other times, so that they did not disturb him greatly. .Even the children, who had pushed and crowded when they first entered the front hall of the house even they were surprisingly quiet when they were aslep.

A child living in the midst of a family of fun-lovers, is practically certain to acquire, or develop, a sense of humor. If the grown-ups of the family show a tendency to laugh at small annoyances and smalt troubles, the child will do likewise. Little more than this can be done; humor cannot be "taught."

The word is a contraction of the Latin "mobile 'vulgus," meaning common beast of burden. It was at first applied as a term of contempt, but later came to mean any unor ganized gathering.
