He knew that the end must come soon unless something wonderful happened. The simple little tricks he had tried had not fooled Shadow the Weasel at all. He was right in the very next tree, and Chatterer didn't even dare stop to look behind. Then an idea popped into his head. It just seemed to come without any thinking on his part. It was a dreadful idea--a truly dreadful idea. At first Chatterer wouldn't let himself think of it at all. But, little by little, he did think of it, and the more he thought of it the less dreadful it seemed. That is a way bad thoughts have--the longer you let them stay the less bad they seem. And it was so with Chatterer now. What was the dreadful thought? Why, it was to lead Shadow the Weasel over to the home of Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, who, you know, $s own cousin to Chatterer. "If he finds Happy Jack at home he will forget me." "If he finds Happy Jack at home he'll forget all about me," thought Chatterer, "for Happy Jack is bigger and fatter than I am and will make a better dinner. Of course, I don't like to do it; it really is a very dreadful thing to do. No, sir, I don't like to do it; but--but it is everybody for himself these days, and I--I--can't run much longer. Of course, it won't be really my fault if Happy Jack gets killed, because all I'll do is to simply run past his door. Then, if Shadow chooses to go in there why--why--well, it won't be my fault." Now, of course, Chatterer knew perfectly well that this wasn't true. But Chatterer is a coward, and he was thinking in just the way that cowards think.

The town lies on high ground sloping down to the Medjerda, Tunisia's principal river, at a point 40 miles west of Tunis and 55 miles south of Bizerte. Medjez-el-Bab means "Gateway to the Sea." Upstream from the town the Medjerda is a winding silver tape flowing between two chains of the Atlas mountains. Below the town it is muddy and sluggish, crossing low land to the Gulf of Tunis.

But, like all cowards, Chatterer wasn't brave enough to face the result* of his own fault and now he was ready to see some one else suffer for what he had done. A little, still voice down inside told him that what he was thinking of was a dreadful and cowardly thing, but he tried not to listen to it. * "Happy Jack is bigger and stronger than I am, and I shouldn't wonder if he could fight Shadow and whip him. In fact, I am almost sure he can," thought Chatterer. Yet all the time he knew that Happy Jack wouldn't,- for just as likely as not he would be taking a nap, and it would be all over before he knew he was in danger. You see, Chatterer was Just trying to fool himself. "I wish I had thought of it before," he panted. "It's a long way over to Happy Jack's house, and I may not be able to get there before Shadow catches me." But the thought that he might, he Just might, escape gave him new strength, and for a little while he actually gained on Shadow the Weasel. He didn't stay in the tree tops now, but ran along the ground as fast as ever he could in the direction of Happy Jack's house. He was not half way there when, looking over his shoulder, he saw Shadow bounding along Witt* great leaps just a little way behind him, and he knew that in a few more leaps Shadow would have him. Shadow could go faster on the ground than he could. He gave one despairing glance in the tree tops where' he had raced and played and been happy so long, and which he felt sure now he would never play in again. Near the top of one of them was a big brown bunch. Chatterer's heart gave a little throb of hope. He saw what he thought might be a last chance.

Borneo's Odd Birds Largest of th$ many strange birds of Borneo are the cassowaries, relatives of the ostrich and emu. Characteristic features are possession of horny casques and neck watdes. Some six species of these flightless birds of the genus Casuarius occur in Australia, Borneo and neighboring islands. They inhabit the forests and, while preferring a fruit, vegetable and rodent diet, have strong digestions, for, in common with the ostrich, they will eat almost anything. All are about five feet high, with a black, horny-plated casque on the head, writes Edith M. Laing in Na~ ture Magazine. Stout gray legs, capable of high speed, can deliver a bone-breaking kick and the long, horny, spiked claw of the inner toe can mortally lacerate an enemy. Would-be molesters had better beware, too, of the spine-like quills with which the rudimentary wings are equipped. These blaok spines are used by the natives to make bracelets. ^$0 comply with tbe OPA we will not serve any •/ 'meats on Fridays . v.

Having earned it speaks volumes for any plant. And earn it one must-- by long hours of hard work; by unflagging enthusiasm^ for the job to be done; by almost fanatic dfivotioa t& tke cause for which we are all fighting. * ; There is something else, too, that every producer must have--the cooperation of the railroads. They bring to industry the materials to be fabricated for war use. With rails extending even into the remotest of raw material regions, they pick up the precious "wants" of industry and carry them right to industry's doors... then later haul to camp or seaport the processed materials and supplies so necessary in fighting a victorious war* ; '"North Western" is one of America's railroads engaged in the transportation of war essentials. We are glad to play a'part in this mighty effort--and proud not only to serve those who fly the Army and Navy "E" but also all others who are engaged in freedom's cause. These industrial fighters will continue to have our enthusiastic coop? ration, and the service we render will be limited only by the supply of materials we are able to secure to keep our rolling stock in top condition.
