What's become of little Nanny? If Danny Meadow Mouse could have answered that it would have saved him a lot of gray hairs At least that is what he says You know worry is supposed to turn the hair gray But as Danny Is rather gray anyway I cannot see how worrying possibly could have made any difference in this respect He did worry There is no doubt about that In fact he worried more than he ever had worried before in all his life You see Danny hadn't the least idea what had become of Nanny He hadn't seen her dodge under the old cornstalks when Redtail the Hawk swooped at them He had been too busy saving his own skin to see what Nanny was doing At first he feared that Redtail had caught her But when he got to thinking it over he remembered that Redtail had tried to catch him and had come uncomfortably near to doing it Of course he couldn't anyway But if he hadn't caught her what could have become of her? She must have reached the shelter of the bushes and grass along that fence at a different point from where he had Thinking she might be somewhere ahead of him Danny hurried along as fast as he could but when he had gdne a long way and found no trace of her he just had to make up his mind that Nanny was lost It was a dreadful situation It certainly was When they had started out from Farmer Brown's barn on the long journey back to their beloved Green Meadows it hadn't once entered Danny's head that they might become separated He had known that there would be all sorts of dangers A Meadow Mouse never can take even a short journey without running the risk of danger and on such a long journey as this there would be all sorts of dangers But Danny had great confidence in himself and is a splendid thing He felt absolutely sure that he could take care of himself and Nanny too And now ce MfJ before he was halfway home Nan- ny was lost "If she hasn't been caught by somebody already she surely will be" moaned Danny "And it's all my fault I ought never to have taken her away from the safety of that barn What does she know about the dangers of the Great World? If Redtail the Hawk hasn't got her Reddy or Granny Fox or Old Man Coyote will get her She doesn't know how to take care of herself She doesn't even know the way home" Danny quite forgot that he was only guessing at the way home himself "I always knew I loved her A dearly'' he went on "but I didn't L kno whow much until now If anything does happen to her and I'm L sure something will I just don't want to live I'll let Reddy Fox E catch me That's what I'll do But I won't do it just yet I'll make Y sure first that I'm never going to see Nanny again" "I hate Retail" he broke out O fiercely "I hate him! I hate him! I hate him! But for him I wouldn't O have lost my Nanny Whatever will she do without me to take care of E her whatever will she do?" So Danny worried and worried He lost his appetite He was too worried to eat He was undecided what to do He would go back a little way then change his mind and race ahead only to do it all Hi over again And he tired himself out so that at last he just had to find a hiding place and lie down But even then for a long time he couldn't get to sleep He kept thinking of all the terrible things that might have happened to Nanny Meadow Mouse It never once entered Danny's funny little head that Nanny wa anything but helpless He thought of her just as if she were one of his babies with no knowledge of the Great World when the truth was that Nanny was quite as smart as Danny and a lot more carefuL Next story: Danny Cannot Bear to Go Home (Released by The Associated Newspapers) I imagine the widow Luscious thinks I'm not very bright When she was sittin' by me I knew Ma was lookin' so I thought it was best for me to act bored — JUN© THE CMItTS PEOPLE CAMPED AT AWATW HOLE IN THE WILDf NW 'ALLEY OOP SET HIM5ELP TO HAV1NO X0 AN IMPRE5-51V- ENTRANCE- AND FELL PCWN sTf yGONE Yl WE THOUGHT HOME- - AUNT J uati N0T V VET-- T J ' PLAIN TO SEE I M A NOVICE MY LIPSTICKS ASMEWY THI' AT mm 1 Hill E - Ml W£d PROtEE6YPTAN KEPUSEBS FOM THE 5AMAJK REfilON 71 (JACKET - ' VOU 1JKF JTnOP-N'Jl AW LOOK PROF GET BO'WCP l 7Q TAKE THE PAP CAN'T YA 5KIP IT?
