You see, for a minute or two Farmer Brown's boy didn't have the least idea whose sharp little claws those were clinging to his leg. He sim- ply knew that there was something Murmured Farmer He Stroked the Mouse, “I'm So Sorry” Brown's Boy as Little Brown alive on his knee and his first thought was of a Snake. Farmer Brown's boy does not like Snakes. If he had done any real thinking he would have known that it couldn't be a for a Snake would have felt very different, Jut Farmer Brown's boy acted first and thought afterwards. In times of real danger this often is the best way of doing. In times of Imaginary dan- ger it is often the other way around. Almost without knowing that he was doing it, Farmer Brown's boy brought his hand down heavily at the point where he feit those sharp litle claws, Under his band he felt a soft little body. “Oh!” cried “I'm afraid Meadow Mouse him." Farmer Brown's boy sat down In the grass, and with his free hand care fully rolled up his trousers’ leg until he could take hold of little Nimble Heels. As he drew out the dainty little brown-coated fellow Farmer Brown's boy gave a little whistle of surprise. He had expected to see blunt-headed, stubby-talled, stout-bod- fed Danny Meadow Mouse, And here in his hand was the slimmest, trimmest little mouse he ever had seen. And such a tail! He whistled again when he saw the length of that slim, taper ing tail. Never before had Farmer Brown's boy seen a Jumping Mouse, Poor little Nimble Heels lay quite still in Farmer Brown's boy's hands, You see, that had been a very hard blow that Farmer Brown's boy had struck In his surprise. Instantly a took of pity and sorrow swept over the face of Farmer Brown's boy. “Yom poor little fellow! I'm afraid | have Snake, Farmer that that and that Brown's boy. was Danny I've killed Madeira, carries a luminous bulb above the eyes resem: bling a torch from which it gets its name. killed you and I wouldn't have done that for the world,” he cried, There were tears In the eyes of Farmer Brown's boy, as he stroked the soft little body with one finger. A leg moved and then kicked feebly., Into the eyes of Farmer Brown's boy crept a look of hope. Without stopping to turn down the leg of his trousers, Farmer Brown's boy started for the Smiling Pool as fast as he could run. When he got there he dipped a little water up in the hollow of his hand and sprinkled Nimble Heels. Nimble Heels and Farmer Brows's or two of water in Nimble Heels opened his dead might have died If hadn't tried to his month, You after all, but he Farmer Brown's bring him back to life, “ murmured Brown's boy as he stroked the brown Mouse. “I'm so sorry. 1 now I'd better take be sure you quite Nimble eyes, see, he hadn't been boy Farmer little guess n so sorry.” 80 as to And so it Heels began a long you home recover.” was that Journey reas ~-WNT RBervice Paris Spring Suit Gout CEC C OC Ooooh 0ooS This mode! by Mirande of Paris is of brown and white, the blouse being of surah In the same colors, CHOICE THINGS TO EAT QUICK hot bouillon may be made by using a teaspoonful of the prepared vegetable paste, dissolved In a cupful of hot water, Any other fia vor may be added If desired—a slice of lemon or a bit of onlon extract, Tomato Canape.
