Their short stubby tails were straight out behind as if they were pointing at Black Pussy as much as to say "You can't catch us if you try!" They were not quite halfway across the barnyard when Black Pussy caught sight of them With a bound she was after them and how she did run! Nibbler peeping out from the doorway of the barn held his breath with horror as he saw that one more jump would on Nanny and bring Black Pussy perhaps Danny too for Nanny was right at Danny's heels Then as Black Pussy made that jump someYes sir something happened thing happened Danny Meadow Mouse hadn't dodged enemies all his life for ndthing Just at the very instant Black Pussy made that spring Danny squeaked a warning to Nanny and dodged to the left while Nanny dodged to the right Black Pussy landed between them her sharp claws clutching nothing at all but the ground surFor just an instant she was too to know what to do next prised You see she had been absolutely sure that she would catch at least one of those fat mice Then for another instant she was undecided which one to chase This Was exactly what Danny had counted on By the time Black Pussy had made up her mind that she would chase Danny both he and Nanny were very near the pile of old rails Two seconds later Danny and Nanny were safe and Black Pussy was wildly clawing under those old rails in angry disappointment while in the doorway of the barn Nibbler was Hugging nimseii in joy ana re "Cousin Danny knows now xo iook outcertainly tor nimseit squeaked Nibbler as he scurried back to his home in the hawmow "Just the same I'm glad I didn't go with them" Next story: More Adventures (Released by The Associated Newspapers) Jm fT -- v?uh s f scv acf ip I scamp's D'Pgc-noi- S BiaMT IlL © ?LK5 I'VS SOT TO LEAP TO Th- NILE CAMP£P A T ) RATHER A C5?IM FINISH TO THE FIRST CHAPTER Y I'M AFRAIP THERE LL BE SPOTS LIKE THAT "XLL THROUGH THE BOOK v m f 1 J w i ""f UDN KIP IN HAP A bLAI I TOOAY MUTER AHQ ) WHEW I OPENEP THE 1 XT i t ) DEPARTMENT HAPNT 1 M Y now well WHAT jot iNO £?F 'T?N k v ± THEJWHAT I ELL ME MV SERVICE it's too i-i'- V j rU i "L-ua- ihf vti l' " J J j --— "Vi ltSSEN PROFILE' AHY TIME X HE COMES TO VOU LL HEAR AlRAPS IN GRANTS TOMB' IF HE COMBS TO 4NP RAPS ON THE A UP OF THE TRUNK V M lf Jaywalkers Get 'Guardian Angels' E k's I v m ID well-- c i j ljl i WHO ARE YOU been Vyou MV BRASH YOUNG f ALL OVER THE EVER "W flMBBPsT"'"' """""I Wm A HBPtVE WtWZ JLv "cC!
