There is no animal so ferocious as a mother defending her young, and they j will attack fearlessly a creature many times their size. A friend told us of watching a mother mouse running along a beam in their summer cottage and carrying a baby mouse in her mouth. Our friend caught her, and took the baby from her, whereupon the wee mother glared viciously at her, a desperate expression in her beadlikc eyes. Then the lady gently restored the baby to her, and let her go. She seized It with a wild prab, and darted along the! beam to safety. I When the daric curtain of night/ drops down on the world, and the Sandman goes on his rounds, and the stars come out, did you ever stop to think of all the babies, in cribs, and nests and tables, and hollow trees,, even jungle caves, where the savage beusts cuddle their cubs. all the ba- 1 bies snuggled close to their mother's' warm breasts, mothers that sleep with serfses alert to the slightest sound, the light mother-sleep, always on guard.
