Four-footed Americans and their kin . about freely asit would have to be in such cases, so that much honor iswaiting for some one who shall invent a cure for theGopher plague, but it must be a cure that is not worsethan the disease. Perhaps you will find it out, Rap, 7 said Dodo, smiling confidently at him. The well-known Hed, Pouched or Mole Gopher, thechief species of the middle West, has a clumsy reddish-brown body as long as a Chipmunks, a large head, andvery wide, hair-lined, cheek pouches reaching to the RATS AND MICE 345 shoulders; small ears, small eyes, and long gnawingteeth that overhang the lips. It sleeps the wintersleep, which I wish you to remember the Wise Men calllii-bcr-na-ting. The Crray Pocket or Northern Gopher is foundfurther north than any of its kin, touching his Redbrothers haunts, and ranging from Montana to theplains of the Saskatchewan country where Nez shot hisMoose. This species is smaller than the Red PouchedGopher, and has hoary, brownish-gray fur; otherwise itdoes not greatly differ from it.. Kangaroo Rat. Now come two lighter, more graceful fourfoots be-longing to the Family of Pouched Rats and Mice, —the Kangaroo Rat and the Pocket Mouse. The Kangaroo Mat looks like a joke on legs. To 346 FOUR-FOOTED AMERICANS begin at the opposite end from usual, he has a tail sixand three quarter inches long, while his body onlymeasures five inches and a half. This tail ends in asort of brush, and he can use it as a rudder or turn andtwist it like a snake. Next come wide hips and a veryhigh pair of legs, particularly long from foot to kneelike the Jack Rabbits ; after this the Rat slopes rapidlytoward short arms, a pointed head, trimmed with outsidecheek pouches, fur-lined round ears, bright e}Tes, andlong whiskers. His coat is of soft shaded brown. TheseRats are rarely seen, for they feed at night, but I havewatched them by moonlight, and they hop about ontheir hind legs like some mechanical toy, holding theirtiny paws together across their chest
