THE GUARDIAN.

(By Thornton W. Burgerr)

1n splte of all you often hear, The worst is mostly whet you fear. -Old Mother Nature.

Over in the Green Forest there was sadness. Little Runty, smallest of the four children of Mr. and Mrs. Timmy the Flying Squirrels, had been caught by Black Pusey the Cat and carried off. Father‘ and mother knew only too well what that meant. or thought they dld. They hsd seen things like this happen before. They happen every day and every night in the Green Forest. Day and night hungry hunters are trying to catch [hose smaller than them- selves. And when they are caught they never are seen again, or hardly ever. So they were sure they never would see Runty again.

But sadness never lasts long M10118 the Green Forest folk, es- llﬁriﬂlly among such merry, happy little people as Flying Squirrels, Old Mother Nature had taught all her children that they must live "W511i! in the present if they would live at all. That is all they have time for. What has been and

South's flnsl bld was a decided stretch, but he was lucky in this case.

West almost defeated the con-

tract on the spot by considering e dllmohd 19ml. but he changed his mind in favor of the singleton club. South won and drew three rounds of trumps, then cashed the club queen. It was bad news when West showed out, because obvious- ly the club suit could not now be established. However, rather than 81V! 11D Iv early. South ran his three remaining trumpl. discarding two diamonds and one club from dummy. . wilt.

If he reduced to the singleton diamond ace and two clubs, he knew very well that he would be "thrown in with the diamond and forced to return s club up to dummy! ten- ace. ‘So, to avoid that fate, East dl ‘ the diamond ace on the second heart lead.

nose among the smaller folk in fur and feathers. As it is some of them are among tho hlplllell» folks in all the Great World.

, Farmer Brown's boy held “u”! gently, all the time talkinﬂ w him softly. With every 118m ""1" 9i his fingers he seemed to take away some of the terrible frlllht- 11! l little while trust, or somethinR very m“, n, has rsken its place in the big, dark, soft eves. Wlth~ out knowing how he knew Runty did know that he had nothinﬂ whatever to fear from this 8"!“ giant. Love and friendship have 3 way of making themselves felt. ‘

Up in his room Farmer Browns

boy prepared a small Wooden BOX» making in one end s. small round doorway, and putting Inside some soft material for a bed. This box he placed on a table. Beside the box he put a small saucer of wotl snd another of food. Then ho Pl" Runty in the box, turned out. the light, and left the room. closing the door. This was to slve t!" small pet a chance to get lwqllsln- ted ‘with his new home in the GU19! darkness with nothing to frighten him. When Farmer Brown's boy went up to bed and turned on the light he knew that Runty had been out. for some food had been Elle“ But the small Squirrel was no- where to be seen. It. was a tempts- tion to open the box and peek in- side, but that might frlshtm his new roommate. So Farmer Brown's boy' went to sleep not knowing if his new pet was in his box or hiding somewhere in the room.

It was just before dawn that he was awakened by e. thump. a very light thump, on the bed close be- side him. At first he couldn't think what had made it. Then a touch of soft. silky fur against his face reminded him of his new pet. He kept very still. Dainty little feet felt of his face. Or should I have isle hands? All the Squirrel folk use their front feet like hands. Runty was getting acquainted.

As it grew lighter Runty ex- plored that room thoroughly. Watching him Farmer Brown's Boy chuckled softly. _ "I guess you know my room better than I d0 myself." said he. That may not hsve been quite the fact, but if there was anything ln that room that the big, soft eyes and in- quisltlve little nose of the lit- tle Squirrel didn't find snd ex- amine it was locked up where he couldn't get at it.

It was very different there from the Green Forest. There were no trees to climb and slide down from, or to play in. Nothing at all like that. But Runty hsd dis- covered something almost B8 800d- I-le wasn't sure that it wasn't bet- ter. He would climb up one of the curtains at a window, run out to the middle of" curtam rod, balance himself , then Jump and glide down on the bed. That bed was wonderful to land on. l-ie did that over and over. Perhaps he wished his sisters and brothers could be there to jump with him. And perhaps he didn't think about that at all.

when 1t was time for Farmer Brown's boy to get m) it was time for Runty to go to bed. He got a last blte to est. e last drink, than popped inside his box and curled himself up to sleep all day. This new home westfl such s bud plsce after all.
