Burgess Appetite may steal your wit, 80 beware! Watch out for it. -Nanny Meadow Mouse. Nanny Meadow Mouse began to wonder what had become of Danny. Already he had been gone longer than usual. From wondering she began to worry.

"He is so bold and reckless it worries me to have him out of my sight," said Nanny to herself. How her neighbors would have laughed could they have heard her call Danny bold and reckless, for of all the little people who are timid Danny is one of the most timid. He is always ready to run at the least unexpected sound. I am not sure that he woulen't run from his own shadow, or try to, if he should catch glimpse of it unexpectedly, But timid as he is. Nanny is still more timid and so she has grown to think Danny a very bold fellow.

Many times she had warned him that his boldness would get him into trouble. So now the longer he stayed away the more sure Nanny was that Danny had been reckless and was in trouble of some kind. Every second she grew more and more worried. Finally she started look for him. She ran along several of their little tunn through the snow wi.hout finding any sign of Danny.

Then she came to the new tunnel Danny had dug. Nanny knew now that she was on the right track. Her nose told her this. Perhaps, after all, Danny had simply stayed away to work on that new tunnel. She raced along it and presently came to the end.

There was no Danny Meadow Mouse, Right at the end of the tunnel was the dry stalk of a big weed. A little ray of light came down beside that dry stalk Nanny understood at once that Dan ny had climbed that stalk and made a little hole out through the snow and Ice. It was through this little hole that the ray of light was coming. Nanny looked up. Both her ears and ber eyes told her that that old weed was being shaken.

Of course, It, might be the wind that was shaking it. But Nanny's nose told her that Danny had climbed that stalk and hadn't come down again. She knew how old weeds often hold their seeds and she suspected right away that Danny was up there above her having a feast. until Monday, February 19. City Miraionary Meeting.
