again. She had better not do that too soon, though, in case Elizabeth began to suspect a trick, She decided to take two or three of Elizabeth's books and hide them somewhere.
Miss Ranger would be cross if they couldn't be found. So once again Kathleen slipped into the classroom, and this time she went to Elizabeth's desk. She took out her geography exercise-book, her arithmetic-book, and her history-book. She slipped out of the room with them and went to a cupboard outside, On the top were kept old maps. Kathleen stood on a chair and threw the books right on the very top, among the old maps. Nobody was about to see her. She quickly put back the chair, and went away,

And now, what should she do to Jenny? The naughty girl frowned, and thought hard, Then she smiled to herself. She would take two of the white mice and put them into Miss Ranger's desk! That would be marvellous! Miss Ranger would be quite sure to think that Jenny had put them there herself, Nobody would know who had done it.
To do this Kathleen had to wait till the next morning. She planned to get the mice before breakfast, No one would be about then. She lay in bed that night thinking of what Miss Ranger would say when she opened the desk and found the mice.
She was up early the next morning. Nora was surprised, for Kathleen was usually one of the last Out of bed. "Hallo, turning over a new leaf?" she said, Kathleen didn't answer. She slipped downstairs five minutes before the breakfast-bell went, and ran to the big shed where the pets were kept. She went to the cage of white mice. She had with her a little box, and it took her only a second or two to pick up two of the tiny white mice and slip them into the box. Then she hurried to her classroom with them. She lifted up the lid of Miss Ranger's desk.
She opened the box-and out scurried the white mice into the desk. Kathleen shut down the lid. What a surprise Miss Ranger and Jenny were going to get!
EXCITEMENT IN CLASS!
THE first lesson that morning was arithmetic. Miss Ranger explained a new kind of sum to the class, and they listened hard, "Now get out your books and we will do a few of these sums," said Miss Ranger, beginning to put down a few on the blackboard, "You should all be able to do them correctly, but if anyone hasn't quite understood what I have been saying, ask me first, before you begin the sums."
Elizabeth opened her desk to get out her arithmetic exercise-book. It wasn't on the top of the pile, where she usually put it. She hunted through her desk. How funny!
The book wasn't there at all, Where could it be?
"Elizabeth! How much longer are you going to have your head hi your desk?" asked Miss Ranger.
"I can't find my book," said Elizabeth,
"Well, you had it yesterday," said Miss Ranger. "Did you take it out of the classroom?"
"No, Miss Ranger," said Elizabeth, "I hadn't any arithmetic homework to do. I just put the book back when I'd finished with it yesterday morning. But it really isn't here."
"Take some squared paper from the shelf in the cupboard," said Miss Ranger. "We can't wait all morning for you to find the book." So Elizabeth took some squared paper and did her sums on that, thankful that she hadn't got into trouble. She simply could not imagine where her book could be! She kept on and on thinking about it.
Kathleen wondered what would happen when Elizabeth couldn't find the other books!
She was also longing for Miss Ranger to open her own desk and find the mice. But Miss Ranger had no reason to open her desk in the arithmetic lesson. So the mice remained undisturbed. They had curled up in a corner and gone to sleep.
The next lesson was French, and after that came geography. Miss Ranger wanted a map drawn, and the girls got out their exercise-books. And once again Elizabeth couldn't find hers.
"Well, really, Eli zabeth, you are surely not going to tell me that your geography-book is lost, too!" said Miss Ranger impatiently.
