In Farmer Brown's ivoodhduse a little Mouse shlvered and shook with fright and didn't know why. l-lis nume was Nlbblet. He was three \\'€cks old and qrroivn, but he was out in the Grout iWorlil on his own. .There'was no 'one to tell him what to do, who Ior what to be afraid of. He must idecide everything for himself. _‘bnd mistake would-well. he ‘couldnt make a had mistake and live. Until now he never had been frightened. There had been no one and nothing to be afraid of.

He had been happily and con~ icntedly milking his toilet when ya shrange Mouse had warned him ‘to run for nearest hiding place, and ‘here he was, behind some wood suddenly afraid but not knowing what he was afraid of.

For a few minutes he kept per- fectly still, listening. That was all he could do-lisien. There was no- thing to see in there behind that wood. He heard some faint sounds,

West opened the diamond five; East took his ace and returned the deuce. Declarcr played the ten, and West played low-but not so low that South could be guided accurately! Wes Us follow-suit card ivas thc diamond six, not the four or three. and when declarcr found himself in possession of thc trick, he could not know that West had started with six diamonds and East. with only two. From South's point of view it seemed that the suit had been divided 4-4 with East normally (and correctly) return- ing his own original fourth-highest card in the suit. so, when South had decided between establishing ‘the hearts or trying for four spade tricks. he concluded that the safest plan was to knock out the heart ace. If he took and lost the spade finesse. he figured to lose (in all) three diamonds, a spade and s heart; whereas, by knocking out the heart ace. he would not need the spade finesse but could get his nine tricks with one spade. three hearts. one diamond and four clubs.

then everything was still. when he could sit still no longer he crept to ‘where he could peep out. He looked across to the box behind which that other Mouse had dodg- ed out of sight.

Just his size alone was enough to frighten so small a person as the little Mouse. Never before had he seen any one bigger than his niothen-Bcside her or any Mouse Black Pussy was s giant.

Black Pussy sat and watched ‘for that other Mouse to Come out. 1Nibblet. set and watched Black Pussy. Without being told, just from what. he saw, the little Mouse iknew that here before him wzis some one he must ivaich for rill his life; some ione he must never allow to get near him. Could it be that there were others? The Great ,World no longer seemed such a 'wonderf»ui place after all.

At sight of them the little Mouse shlvered. He had been ‘frightened before, but now, right _now, was born a ‘great fear that jnever would leiii-e him; that in Ithat instant changed him from a happy-go-lucky unafraid Mouse to ,one of thc most timid folks in all the Great World. so timid that it would sometimes seem that he was frightened by his own shadow; so timid that. only vrhen lie was asleep would he ever be wholly unafraid. Even then lie would sleep with one ear open, as the saying is.

In Just that. short time since he had. first seen Black Pussy he had learned what was perhaps the most important lesson lie ever would learn. He had learned it so thoroughly that he never would forget it for even one little instant. He had learned to he afraid. From now Cm he would be afraid all the time all his life. Fear isn‘t a plen- ssnt feeling. The little Mouse didn't like being afraid. He didn't. like it at all.
