132 The White-Footed Mouse 



This was the only time that I ever caught the screech 

 owl in the act of hunting the white-footed mouse. 



As a pet the white-footed mouse is very interesting. 

 In captivity it resembles in .many ways 4Jie, flying 

 squirrel, especially in its fondness for climbing about 

 your person and hiding in your pockets.
