Squirrels are one of the most familiar—and possibly the least appreciated—of our animal neighbors. They inhabit millions of yards, parks, and forests on every continent except Antarctica. Watching their antics is an amusing pastime; after all, both their acrobatic skill and their appearance make them natural entertainers. However, they are also noted for their ability to aggravate those who share living space with them. The squirrel's reputation as a yard pest and robber of bird feeders is legendary—it is common knowledge that no bird feeder is squirrel-proof. A close scrutiny of squirrels reveals the remarkable characteristics that allow them to be both a blessing and a bane to their human neighbors.

The physical agility of squirrels exceeds that of the greatest circus high-wire and trapeze acts, and squirrels perform almost constantly—and always without a net! Scientists have determined that squirrels can jump about 10 times the length of their own bodies. This enables them to accomplish amazing feats as they leap from tree to tree or navigate telephone wires with the nonchalance of a tightrope walker, using their tails for balance. They are also aided in these aerial feats by the ability to rotate their ankles 180 degrees, so they can pivot faster and with more flexibility than any athlete. Their vision is acute, and they can see above, below, and to the side without moving their heads. Thus, they are able to position themselves—and watch for potential problems and dining possibilities—very easily. It is little wonder that they are aerial artists as well as master thieves!

Their mental dexterity is as keen as their physical ability. Since they are thieves themselves, they are deeply suspicious of others when they are burying their seeds and nuts. In fact, they often dig up their caches and rebury them several times to prevent the possibility of theft. If they are certain they are being watched, they may choose to mislead the would-be thief by pretending to bury the seed or nut. They go through the entire burial process while keeping the food securely hidden in their mouth. This keen power of observation enables them to take advantage of their environment. Squirrels have been known to cross busy streets with a parade of humans as protection and to study other squirrels to pick up pointers about stealing food. Also, no one who has ever watched a squirrel defeat a "squirrel-proof" bird feeder would doubt their creativity in problem solving. They have shown themselves fully capable of screwing lids off containers and working out a way to retrieve food suspended on a string. Squirrels display a striking degree of determination and resourcefulness in solving problems that would otherwise keep them from their food.

"MARJORIE."

The clear call rang out, breaking the afternoon stillness of the ranch, but there was no response, and after waiting a moment Miss Graham gave her wheeled chair a gentle push, which sent it rolling smoothly across the porch of the ranch house, down the inclined plane, which served the purpose of steps, to the lawn. It was very hot, the sun was blazing down as only an Arizona sun can blaze, and not a breath of air was stirring. But Miss Graham was accustomed to the heat and the glare. She paused for a moment, gazing off over the vast prairie to the California mountains, nearly a hundred miles away. She generally paused on that same spot for one look, although the landscape was the only one she had seen in twelve years. Then she moved on again, across the lawn, now parched and dry from the long summer's heat, toward the stables and out-buildings. It was before the smallest of these out-buildings, a tiny log cabin, that she finally brought the chair to a standstill.

"Marjorie, are you there?"

There was a sound of some one moving inside, and a girl of fourteen, with a book in her hand, appeared in the doorway. . . . At sight of the lady in the wheeled chair . . . Marjorie's face brightened, and she hurried forward, exclaiming remorsefully:

"Oh, Aunt Jessie dear, did you come all this way by yourself? I'm so sorry. Do you want me to do something for you?"

"You needn't be sorry," said her aunt, smiling. "The exercise will do me good, and I am quite proud of being able to manage this chair so easily. I called you from the porch, but you didn't hear. Your mother and Juanita are busy in the kitchen making jam, and I wasn't of any use there, so I thought I would come and see what you were about. I felt pretty sure of finding you in the old playhouse."

"Come in," said Marjorie, eagerly. "You haven't been in the playhouse in ages; not since I grew too big to invite you to "make-believe" tea, but the door is just wide enough for the chair; don't you remember? Let me help you in?" And springing to Miss Graham's side, Marjorie seized the handle of the chair, and carefully guided it through the narrow entrance, into the little house her father had built for her own special use, and which had always been known as the playhouse. It might still have been regarded as a playhouse, although its owner had grown too old to play there. A couple of battered dolls reposed upon a toy bedstead in one corner, and an array of china dishes, all more or less the worse for wear, adorned the shelves. Marjorie loved her few possessions dearly, and in a place where one's nearest neighbor lives five miles away, there are not many people on whom to bestow things which have ceased to be useful to one's self, and they are therefore likely to be preserved.

2.
