BUDDY JIM AND THE FLYING SQUIRRELS

'Twas lots of fun to help the men

Bring in the new-mown hay;

Far better than the newest game

A boy could ever play;

"There couldn't be" said Buddy Jim,

"A happier time for you

Than haying time, for it's so full

Of jolly things to do."

UDDY JIM was a bit hot and tired when the last load of hay had been stowed away in the loft in the barn.

It was almost time for supper he knew, but it was so cool and dim up there under the rafters, and the hay was so cool and fragrant, that he decided he would stay and take a little rest.

And you know how it is; when you're a bit weary and very comfy; well, Buddy Jim nearly fell asleep.

But just as he was on the thin edge of dreamland, he woke up. And he heard voices! Very earnest little voices, too, they were.

"Don't worry, Mother," said one little voice, "I don't believe there will be many more loads of hay this year. And anyway it will never, I'm sure, reach up as high as this cross beam we are on. I don't think we shall have to move."

"I would not take the chance of staying in this nest one single day more," answered a second little voice. "Why, there was one time this afternoon whey I thought surely that our home and our babies were going to be ab-so-lute-ly covered up under great forks-ful of hay.

"So we are going to move, Daddy," went on the voice, "and we are going to move this very night!"

"O well, if you feel that way about it," said the first voice, "I will look around while I'm out to dinner, and see if I can find a new place."
