Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Who hesitate* becauie of fear
May lose the things he hold! most dear.
It happens over and over again
among human folks as well as
among the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green
Meadows. Perhaps it was because
he had seen it happen more than
once that Danny Meadow Mouse
acted as quickly as he did. If he
had stopped to think about it fear
might have prevented him from
doing as he did and things might
have turned out quite differently
and not at all so fortunately.
But Danny’s wits are sharp and
he has learned to use them quickly.
There is nothing like danger to
sharpen one’s wits and Danny, as
you know, is in danger a great part
of the time. As he sat there peep
ing out of the little hole in the
bank of the Smiling Pool where he
had sought safety he was sur
rounded by danger and he knew it.
It wasn't safe to leave and it wasn't
safe to remain. Could any one pos
sibly be in a worse fix?
He was doing his best to think of I
some way out of his troubles when
he saw the Big Pickerel, which had
been hiding under some lily pads,
swim out to the middle of the
Smiling Pool and there stop close
to the surface as if to enjoy the
sun. Not two minutes later there
was a sharp swishing sound in the
air. Danny looked up to see a dark
form shooting down out of the sky.
It was Plunger the Osprey, often
called Fish Hawk. His great claws
were spread to seize some one and
that some one was the Big Pickerel.
With a great splash Plunger
shuck the water and disappeared

TARZAN AND THE FIRES OF TOHR (Follow Tarzan in the Colored Comic Section Every Sunday, t —gy Edgar Rice Burroughs 3
With lashing trunk and piercing tusks,
Black Malluk kept the guards at bay while
Tarzan and his friends scaled the wall of
the paddock. By a weaving route, to put
puruers off the track, the jungle lord led
his companions on a desperate mission to
free the pit slaves.
Tarzan climbed the huge gate of the
compound and admitted Kailuk and Perry.
The way to the slave barracks lay past a
guardhouse. The conspirators hoped to
pass undetected, but their hopes were
quickly blasted. A challenging cry pro
claimed a new danger.
As the guards streamed out, the brave
trio raced for the slave shed. “You go
Inside.” Tarzan instructed O’Rourke, “and
free the slaves. The key to their chains
hangs on the wall near the door. Kailuk
and I will stay here. We’ll do our best to
keep the guards back.”
The ape-man's plan was born of sheer
desperation—a “last chance" scheme with
overwhelming odds against success. How
could he and Kailuk hope to stem that
rushing tide of Tohrian swordsmen?—he
with only a short knife and poor Kailuk
with no weapon at all!

With a quick glance up to see

bank of the Smiling Pool toward
the Laughing Brook. He knew that
for a few minutes the attention of
everybody would . be fixed on
Plunger. He hoped that no one
would notice a scared little Meadow
Mouse. He heard the water falling
from Plunger and the beating ot
his great wings as he rose In the
air, but he didn’t even glance back
to see if Plunger had caught the
$g Pickerel. Ho simply made
those four little legs of his go.** »
fast as they possibly could until he
reached a tangle of matted grass,
under which he crept, his heart
going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, pit-a
pat. Not till then did he look back.
