Mua'ie And Her Squirrels ,/
Two or1 three days after the bo.y
with a gun had came so near shoot
ing tine squirrels a light wa-gorn stop
ped im- front of the house where Ma
rie lived.
The boy jumped out and assist
ed a lady to alight followed by a lit
tle girl.
"My name is Randall", she said
to Marie's mothier who. met them at
the d.oo.r, "and 'this is my little
niece, Laura Doam. We are your
neighbors ^.nd live about a mile eap
We didn't know that anyone lived
here until Tom, my sio.n, was hunit
i'ng the other day and discovered
that the house w-a occupied. I know
hc-w lonely it is far strangers where
neighbors are so far between, as
wo have not lived here long our
selves, so I came the first oppor
tunity to call and get acquainted."
Marie's mother welcomed theon
warmly' for indeed she had bee.n.
lonely in this sparsely settled neigih
borhood aud among stnanigei-s.
Children get acquainted easily
and soon Marie and the little girl
were talking together as though
they had always kinowii each other,.
Of course Marie took Laura out
to see her playhouse and almost
the first thing Frisky came scam
per-'n.g down the tree-.
"Oh, look," cried Laura, 'see the
little squirirej."
She held out her hands toward
him, anid. he did not run away but
sat on his hind feet and began to
nibble at a c.'Ut which he he'd in
his fore paws/tfff,,,
"Oh, see, see,"
she icried.

Marie was glad the squirrel al
lowed Laura to see hi'm so closely.
"Yes, he is getting so tame that
soimetini.es he lets me taike hiirn up,
but he doe&n't like to be handled
very iwell."
"Oh," cried Laura, "there is an
other. "Oh, oh.," .she repeated^/as
Nimble a/nd Ohiatt.er two came 'in
'.view. She was so busy watohijnig
theiir giambols that she could hardly
pay proper attention tci the 'details
of the l.ittle playhouse wilnich Marie
was pctV.iting o.ut to her.
Soc.n heir mcltier. called her to go
home. "I mean'to have a playhousie
too," she comfidied to Miarie, "We
have lots- otf trees inear oiur house
that makes beautiful shade, and
peril flips t'be squirrels and bind© will
come and get acquainted with me
too.
"If you are careful not to
fri/gihiten them., I am, sure they will,"
Marie told her.
