utes the hole was large enough to squeeze through,

so he called to his friends to stop singing. But they

were making so much noise that they could not hear

him and kept right on making their discordant melo-

dies.

The white rat realized that none of the others

could get out of the hole that he had made, for there

was no way of their getting from one shelf to an-

other; so either he would have to gnaw a hole for

each of them to get through or he would have to find

some way to get the door of the prison open from

the outside. He feared that if he had to gnaw seven

more holes in the back wall of the prison, he would

not be finished by morning, and the escape would be

foiled; therefore he must find some other way to get

them out of the bookcase. Percy crept quietly around

the corner of the grey prison, inching his way along

so that he would make no sound to attract the atten-

tion of the guard. He was just ready to peek around

the corner at the front of the building when he heard

a sound that made his hair stand on end.

"Pssst!" came from behind him.

Percy whirled around, his teeth bared, ready to at-

tack whoever had discovered him. In the darkness

he could see a darker form which looked like one of

the book people. Just as he prepared to spring upon

the dusky figure, it spoke to him in a whisper.
