THE OSHAWA DAILY "IMES, TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1930 Muskrat, It was answered by a number of little squeaks. These were from tho little Muskrats. Their mother had told them that the danger was past. The next story: "The Heedless Little Muskrat." (Copyright, 1930, T. W. Burgess) MANCHESTER 1 The Signal Passed Along Obedience without delay You'll find to be the muskrat way. jerry Muskrat. Peter, Rabbit had spent a lot of time around the Smiling Pool. You see, Peter was greatly inter- wted in the school there, for teally there was a school in the Smiling Pool. There were two ieachers--Jerry Muskrat and Mrs. Muskrat, Nine little muskrats went to that school. Of course, hey didn't call it a school, But uiger all, any place where you earn lessons is a school and those ittle muskrats were being taught lessons evory day. It was surprising how fast they grew, It was quite necessary that 'hey should learn as fast as they grew, Otherwise, they would be come grown up without being real- ly fitted to take care of them- selves, Peter, just from watching, got so that he understood some of the signals. He was over thero just at dusk one evening. Jolly, round, Mr. Sun had gone to bed behind the Purple Hills and the Black Shadows had crept across the Green Meadows and over the Smiling Pool, It was all very calm and quiet and shadowy there, Presently the first little star came peeping out and was reflected ip the water. Nowhere could Peter see any- thing of the ~~ Muskrats, Jerry wasn't to be seen; none of the lit- tle muskrats were to be seen. Af- ter a while Peter began to wonder where they were. It was just such a night as Muskrats love, Could it be that something had happened to one or more of the family and the rest were in hiding? Peter tried to be patient. However, pa- tience does not hold out forever and at last Peter made up his mind that he would go over to the Green Forest for a while, Peter was just about to start along when he hoard clearly but faintly a sound which he recog- nized.

Burgess en Peter stayed right where he was, He didn't move. So, by the time Hooty the Ow! got up here every little Muskrat was hidden." All this Peter said to himseit inside, taking the greatest care not to move so much as a whisker or to make a sound of any kind You sce, Peter knows all about the wonderful ears of Hooty the Owl and how well he can see at a time when most other people can see very little, And Poter was quite right in his understanding of those signals. Jerry Muskrat had seeri Hooty the Owl and had passed the signal along to Mrs. Muskrat. She in turn, had pass- ed the signal to the little Musk- rats, and they, because they had all been trained, had at once hid- den and remained hidden, By and by Peter heard a squeak.

Mrs. Muskrat over there behind the Big Rock heard the signal and passed It slong. The nine children over there in the bulrushes heard her and each passed the signal along. Felt Bros.
