Phone 224-W ANGUS McMILLAN FLOOR SERVICE Squire Squirrel IT WASN'T EASY TO RUN A BOARDING HOUSE BY MAX TRELL Knarf found Squire sitting under the Maple Tree Summer Boarding House at the end of the garden wall. Squire Squirrel was the owner ahd man- ager of the boarding house. He owned the tree. His boarders were robins, wrens, thrushes, sparrows, an owl and now and then some other birds who came to visit. A family * of chipmunks lived in the cellar of the board- ing house--that is to say, in the Toots of the tree; and Squire Squirrel lived upstairs in a hol- low in the main trunk. "No, I'm not happy at all" Squire Squirrel said to Knarf "I'm getting a headache from all my troubles." "What troubles?" "Troubles running ing house." "But 1 thought you liked to run it / Squirrel said Knarf. this board- Squire Squirrel rubbed his paw across his forehead. "My head- ache is getting worse. Do you mind sitting here for a bit? Ill go to the drugstore and get a pill or something." Knarf said he didn't mind at all. So off went Squire Squirrel Squire Squirrel held his head down the road to the drugstore to get something for his head- ache. Knarf sat quietly under the tree. It all seemed pleasant en- ough. Up among, the leafy bran- ches of the summer boarding house he could hear the boarders chirping and singing, apparently in the best of spirits. "I don't see why he should get a headache," Knarf started saying to himself. "There's no trouble running this boarding house--" At that moment he heard a voice calling down angrily: "Hoo are you! Hey you! Hoo are you?' "Knarf jumped to his feet. "Who Had Trouble are you?" It was the OWL. "I'm taking ~~ Sauire Squirrel's place while he goes to the drug- store," said Knarf. "Is there any- thing the matter "Come up here, "and Ill tell you" Knarf climbed up the tree. "I dowt bother anybody," said the Owl. "I'm a quiet bird. I go out at night. I sleep all day. I mean, 1 try to sleep all day. I can't sleep at all with this noise going on!" hat noise?' asked Knarf. "You hear it as well as I do! apped Owl. "All this chirping and singing. 1 can't sleep with chirping and singing. Tell those said Owl, I'll move out at once!" s sir. I'll see what I aid Knarf. With that Knarf climbed up higher into the tree to have a talk with the other birds. "What! Keep quiet!" several robins and thrushes all shouted at once. "We'll do no such thing! Tell that horrible Owl to do his work in the daytime and sleep at night, the way everyone else does, and he won't be bothered by any noise! Tell him to stop hooting all night! He keeps us awake!" Knarf was just about to go down apd tell Owl all this' when everyone in the whole tree, in- cluding the Owl, set up a shriek ing. "Keep her away! Don't let her get up here! Oh!" Knarf looked down. The cat, who lived in a house at the oth- er end of the road, was starting to climb up the tree! Knarf clim- bed down as fast as he could and chased her away. In the few minutes that he took Squire Squirrel's place, poor Knarf had had more troubles than most people have in a year. He climbed up and down the tree a dozen times. He had to mind baby birds; he had to drive cat- erpillars away. He knew now why Squire Squirrel got a headache. He was glad when he came back again.
