254 NATURE-STUDY REVIEW 



room he ran for his bed. There he either burrowed under his 

 bed clothes or sat up with his paws on the edge of his box and 

 peeped over. He would condescend to take food from the hands 

 of a man if he were coaxed a bit. 



Frequently he was seized with the idea of thrift. He would 

 work hard carrying nuts about the room and storing them away. 

 He was not particiilar as to whether they were out of sight or not. 

 He would even hide them in my lap or on the floor in plain sight. 

 He always gave them a few pushes with his mouth and a few pats 

 with his paws. Then the operation was complete. The bed 

 was quite a favorite hiding place, and there was always a shower 

 of nuts every time the bed was made. It was too bad to disturb 

 his store but he never seemed to mind hiding the same nuts over 

 and over again. 



All summer our little visitor was as happy as any little squir- 

 rel could be, eating playing and growing. But at last vacation 

 was over and back to the Normal travelled Jim. He was very 

 m.uch insulted at being put into his travelling cage again and 

 tore at it with all his might. Unfortunately he had forgotten 

 about his former home and every thing was strange. Worse 

 than all there were terrifying men everywhere. Jim was per- 

 fectly miserable. Then an open door and an open window showed 

 him the road to happiness. Like the wise little squirrel he was 

 Jim took it. We have seen him out on the campus playing 

 in the trees. He peers thru the branches at us but refuses to 

 come down.
