Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Bach passing day a little learn.
And you in time will wisdom earn.
—Old Mother Nature.
QVER in the very middle of the
blackberry patch Sammy had
stumbled into a yellowjackets’ nest.
He hadn’t known anything about yel
lowjackets but he had learned fast.
COME IN HERE; THERE’S SOME
THING I WANT TO SHOW YOU,”
HE CALLED PRESENTLY.
Yes, indeed, Sammy had learned fast.
Also he had learned painfully and
sorrowfully.
A sorry sight was Sammy as he
and Sue had made their way back
to Farmer Brown’s house where they
were spending the Summer. Sammy’s
face and hands were badly scratched,
for he had madly dashed through
those briars in his haste to escape
from those thoroughly angry wasps.
He had been stung in no less than
seven places. His clothes were tom.
He had dropped his pail when he felt
the first sting. The reUowJaokete

that had stolen Stanley Wood from him. Never
had such a thing happened before.
were was a direct challenge to his own prowess,
a challenge he could not ignore. He had only
one ambition now—to do battle with Mafka!. So
he struck out toward the Kaji city, not directly,
but by a roundabout way through deep gorges
and up lofty cliffs.
No other man could have accomplished that haz
ardous journey, but the ape man believed it worth
while because the Kaji would expect no enemy to
arrive from that direction. Three days later he
reached a point a full day’s march to the east of
the city.
He paused on a towering ridge and surveyed the
forbidding panorama. A west wind blew gently
from the lower country, bringing to his nostrils
the evidence cf things unseen. But he was una
ware of the eastward menace—the fierce eyes that
watched hint from behind.

had followed him for some distance
and one had stung Sue. She had
dropped her pail also.
When Parmer Brown’s boy saw his
cousins he didn’t need to ask what
had happened. His eyes may have
twinkled but he was properly sympa
thetic and plastered Sammy’s stings
with wet mud which, while it did not
add to Sammy’s good appearance,
brought relief almost at once.
“I guess I didn’t use my eyes,” he
confessed. “I didn’t see that nest at
all. I was looking for Peter Rabbit
and must have bumped right into that
“You wouldn’t have seen it if you had
been looking for it,” said he. “It prob
ably was in the ground and you
stepped close to the entrance. That
is the way yellowjackets’ nests usually
are found. It is bad enough when you
are in the open and can run, but you
certainly were out of luck to stumble
onto a nest in the midst of all those
briars.”
“Don’t I know it?” moaned Sammy.
It was the next morning that Farm
er Brown’s boy said he would go after
the pails that Sue and Sammy had
left behind in their flight from the
berry patch. Sammy was feeling better,
much better, and offered to go along
*
to show just where that nest was. Sue
said she would go, too, for she hoped
to see dear Peter Rabbit again. She
was quite concerned lest Peter had
also fallen a victim to those hot-tem
pered hornets, but her cousin assured
her that this was unlikely.
At the edge of the berry patch Sue
and Sammy stopped. They had no
intention of risking another attack.
“It was right over there in the very
middle. I guess you’ll find my pail
there, but if you’ll take my advice
you’ll let the old pail stay right there,”
said he.
Parmer Brown’s boy grinned. "I
guess I can get the pad without «•
K
turbing those wasps,” he replied. “Easy
does it. If I don’t get them all stirred
up and mad they won’t bother me.”
Carefully he made his way in while
from a safe distance the others
watched. He found the pall and then
began to look around.
“Come on in here. There’s some
thing I want to show you,” he called
presently.
Sammy shook his head vigorously.
“I was in there yesterday. That was
enough for me,” said he.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.
All you have to look out for are the
briars. There isn’t a yellowjacket here
now. Beet” He began to stamp and
\f
thrash around. Nothing happened.
At last Sammy ventured to go In,
holding himself in readiness to run
at the first hint of danger. "Where
are they?” he demanded suspiciously.
Farmer Brown’s boy chuckled. "Ask
Jimmy Sunk; he knows.” he replied.
“What do you mean?” asked Sue,
who had joined the others.
"Only that Jimmy was here last
night and found that nest. He dug
it open and ate all the wasps and
their young. The nest was partly in
the ground and partly under this
stone. See those bits of gray paper
scattered around. Those are all that
la left of the nest. Jimmy made a
i
good job of it,” explained Fanner
Brown’s boy. "All the yellowjackets
were in there for the night. It was
cool and that made them sluggish
and sort of dopey. So Jimmy ate
’em and probably didn't get stung
once. You won’t find many yellow
jackets around where Jimmy is.”
"And I didn’t suppose Jimmy was
good for anything except for his
fur,” said Sammy.
