LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME
By TBORSTOX W BCROBBS.
Which Wan I Amt?
(Copyright. ISIS By T. W Burgee* I
For a long mtnute Danny and
Naany Meadow Mouse stared out at
the auaay place among the bushes
beside the fence where Mr. Black
snake lay sunning himself. It had
been a narrow escape, i very nar
row escape Indeed It had been such
n narrow escape that Denny *as
still trembling so that his funny lit
tie short tall shook. You know he
had almost run right into Mr. Black
snake. It was lucky, very luck), for
Danny that Mr. Blarksnake was
• sleep at the time. Danny could
hardly believe even now that Mr
Rlackanake hadn't heard him as he
scampered back so suddenly that he
knocked Naany Meadow Mouse over
But Mr. Blarksnake hadn't, and as
soon ss runny and Nsnny were rure
of this they began to breathe easier
Then they stopped shaking.
“What shall we do?” whispered
Nanny
“Get away from here ss fast ss
our legs will take us.” Danny whia
pered bar k
"Shall it go the way we hare
com#*'' asked Nsnny
"No.” replied Danny promptly
"We are going home to the Green
Meadows in «plte of Mr. Black
snaks aad every other danger that
ever was or ever will be Now you
follow me and mind that you keep
right at my heels."
Nanny promised that she would,
and Danny led the way out into the
open in order to go around Mr
Riarkanake He took good care, did
Danny, to go a long way around, for
he is much afraid of Mr Black
snake 9 and he Intended tr take no
chance that Mr. Blarksnake might
wake up and see them. Perhaps
this was the wisest thing to do. hut
it was also a dangerous thing to do.
You se*. It meant leaving the safe
cover of the bushes and grass along
the fence and going right out where
there was Nothing at all to hide
them.
They had safely passed the place
whera Mr. Blarksnake lay and were
beading back toward the fence again
when Danny caught sight of a
shadow sweeping across the ground
Now a shadow wouldn't frighten you
or ma. but Danny's bean jumped
tight up In bla throat at sight of
that shadow He didn't have to look
up La the air to know who made that
shadow Danny knows the shadow
of every one who flies over the
Green Meadows and of every one
who walks there He has made tt
bin busineas to know shadows and
all about tbsm
“Rad tail the Havt!" squeaked
Danny. "Run, Nanny, run for cov
er!"
Danny Meadow Moose U Terribly Worried
Foe. fl. so. Danny!

worrying could possibly hsre made

did worry. There is no doubt shout
that. In fact, ho worried more than
seer he had worried before in all

You see. Danny hadn't the least
idea what had become of Nanny
Ho hadn’t seen her dodge under the
old cornstalks when Redtail th*
Hawk swooped at them He had
boon too busy saving hit own skin
to see what Nsnny wa* doing At
first bo feared that Redtail bad
caught her. But when he got to
thinking It over be remembered
that Redtail had tried to catch him
and bad come uncomfortably near
to doing it. Os course be couldn't
have caught Nanny, not then, any
way. But if he hadn't caught her
what eould have become of her?
She must have reached the shelter
of tbo buahea and graaa along th*'
fence at a different point from
where bo bad Thinking she m,gh f

Then Dann'y and Nsnny did Just
as they had done when Black Pussy
so nearly caught them —they sepa

for the fence-row as fast as hlx

and crept under some old cornstalks
she had seen Redtail hesitated
ust s wee second undecided which
ont to try to catch That one wee
second gave Danny Just time enough
to reach the bushes along the fence
and Red’all's great claws closed on
nothing, tho the tip of on*- actually
scratched Danny. With a scream of
disappointment Redtail swung up
into the air on his broad wtngs and
there he sailed in circles watching
below He had seen where Nanny
had gone and he hoped to get her
when she should venture out.
Now Danny hadn't seen where
Nanny had gone and Nanny hadn't
seen Just hat happened to Danny.
She had to stay a long time under
those cornstalks before Red’ai!
finally gave up and she could safely
get across to the fence-row When
she got there she could And no sign
of Danny You see he had run some
distance both ways along the fence
row looking for Nsnny and then dw
tided that she must hare gone on
ahead thinking that she was behind
him. So at last he had hurried on
hoping to catch up And ail the
time he kept saying over and over:
“Nanny's loet. Poor Nsnny. She
never can find her way alone. What
will she do without me?”
And right at that very time Nan
ny was hunting Danny and saying
over and over to herself: "Danny's
lost I know he is. Perhaps I’ll
never, never see him again He's
lost! I know he's lost'”
_ *•
**t hate Redtail!* h« broke out

and found no trace of her b* Just
had to mako up hla mind that Nan

It was a dreadful situation. It

started out from Farmer Brown a
barn on the long Journey back to

hadn t once entered Danny's head
that they might become separated

of danger, and oa such a long Jour
ney as thla there would be all sorts
of dangers. But Danny had great
confidence in himself, and self-eon
(Idence is a splendid thing He felt
absolutely sure that ha oowld take
car* of himself, and Nanny, too
And now before he was half way
home Nanny was lost
“If she hasn't been caught by
somebody already she surely will
fce.” moaned Danny. “And It's all
my fault. I ought never to have
taken her away from the safety of
that bam. What does she know
about the dangers of the Great
World* If Redtail the Hawk hasn't
get her Reddy or Granny Fox or Old
Man Coyote will get her. Bhe
doesn't know how to take care of
herself. She doesn’t even know the
way horns”
Danny quite forgot that he was
only guessing at the way home
himself
**T always knew I loved her dear
ly.“ he went on. "but I didn't know
bow much until now. If anything
does happen to her. and I’m sure
something will. I just don't want to

That's what I’ll do But ! won’t do
it Just yet. I’ll make sure first that
I'm never going to see Nanny again
|”1 hate Redtail'” he broke out
fiercely. “I hate him' I hate him'
I I hate him' But for him I wouldn't
have lost my Nsnny. Whatever
will she do without me to take care
of her? What will she do?”
And so Danny worried and wor
ned He lost his appetite. He was
too worried to eat. He wrap unde

all over again And so he tried

kept thinking of all the terrible

head that Nanny was anything but
helpless He thought of her Just
as If she were one of his babies,
with no knowledge of the Great

Nanny was quite as smart as Danny
and a lot more careful.

This war has been declared in the name of liberty
and democracy. Let us not undermine our own liberty
and democracy by adopting
CONSCRIPTION!
The volunteer system is the only just, democratic, and
effective means of raising an army.
Congress is considering a bill to draft an army of one million youths, between 19 and 25 years of age, presumably for
service in Europe with the Allies.
Compulsory military service is unjustified:
It conscripts conscience. It forces a man to kill against his will. It makes adherence to personal religious con
viction a penal offense. Those who refuse to serve are subject to court-martial and imprisonment.
True patriotism demands a united country. This principle will not unite the country in carrying on the war; it will
divide it. Conscripted men may fight for territory, but only free men can fight for ideals.
Canada, with a population less than New York State, has raised 400,000 without conscription; Australia, with a
population less than Illinois, 250,000 without it, and recent! y defeated conscription for over seas duty by an overwhelm*
ing vote of the people. Even Germany has never conscripted men for over seas military service.
Lieut.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles and other military authorities oppose conscription as unnecessary and ineffective. Vol
unteering is our American tradition. V olunteering can be controlled and guided to build up an efficient army.
Is our cause so weak that not enough men can be found to volunteer?
We believe the great majority of the American people are opposed to conscription and in favor of the volunteer
principle. If that is your conviction, HELP DEFEAT CONSCRIPTION NOW:
1. By writing or wiring your senators, congressmen and the President
2. By getting others to do so.
8. By getting organizations to take action.
ACT NOW. KEEP UP YOUR PROTEST UNTIL CONGRESS DECIDES
CUT THIS OUT AND
This advertisement is paid for by the voluntary contributions of
patriotic Americans who believe that patriotism demands the main
