      Somebody stole softly up behind him; two paws blindfolded his eyes

      All aboard for Pond Lily Lake! he cried gaily

      The heavy furniture cart was pulled down the last hill

      Will you walk into my parlor, Dr. Whiskers?

      Dr. Whiskers worked deftly away, setting the broken limb

      Webbie Spider raised his paw

      They worked bravely with Uncle Squeaky for captain

      The little band began to play Silvy's Waltz

      Dr. Whiskers twisted and pulled upon the hook

      It was long past midnight when tired old Grand-daddy pulled off his boots.

      Fetch that creoline bottle, Silvy, repeated Grand-daddy sternly.

      Hold your breath, now

      They had good fun picking the brown nuts from the soft, silky linings of the burrs.

      Sure enough, next morning poor Buster could hardly see out of his eyes.

      And so, explained Uncle Squeaky, he went on a hop, skip and jump like this

      He folded his paws as Mammy had taught him long ago, tossed his head high and sang merrily.

      CHAPTER I

      A MESSAGE FROM THE WOODFOLK

      Nimble-toes Field-mouse trotted briskly along the dark subway and up the steep attic stairway in Mr. Giant's house. He had travelled a long way from his woodland home and it was getting late. The door of the cosy attic where Cousin Graymouse lived was ajar. Nimble-toes paused to get his breath and peep in at the busy, happy family.

      Mother Graymouse sat in her rocking-chair singing to little Squealer. Tiny, Teenty and Buster Graymouse were playing upon the floor near by with their cousins, Wink and Wiggle Squeaky. Aunt Squeaky and Uncle Hezekiah were busy around the stove. Grand-daddy and Granny Whiskers sat in the chimney corner waiting patiently for their supper.

      From the pantry came Silver Ears Graymouse and Dot Squeaky, bringing food to the table.

      I hope Limpy-toes Graymouse and Scamper Squeaky have not gone away, thought Nimble-toes.

      Somebody stole softly up behind him; two paws blindfolded his eyes.

      It is Limpy-toes, he guessed, trying to be brave in that dark, strange place.

      Right you are, Nimble-toes, laughed Limpy-toes. Scamper and I have been over to the store to get some cheese. I thought you were a burglar, just at first. Push open the door and trot in.

      It is Cousin Nimble-toes! cried a noisy chorus of little mice.

      It is Nimble-toes Field-Mouse, sure as I'm a mouse! declared Uncle

      Squeaky. Welcome to our attic, my lad.

      [Illustration: Somebody stole softly up behind him, two paws blindfolded his eyes.]

      You must be hungry after your long tramp, Nimble-toes, said Mother

      Graymouse. Supper is all ready.

      The little mice crowded around their cousin from the Pond Lily Lake
