Time you very often find Measured by your state or mind. ——Peter Rabbit.
It was e long._ long day. Peter Rabbit was sure that it was the longest day he ever had known. or course it wasn't. It merely seem- ed so. And it was all because he had failed to start for home as early as he should have. Daylight is no time for a Rabbit to ‘be cross ing the Green Meadows. It is too open. There are too many sharp eyes watching for Rabbitsor other small folks foolish enough to try to cross where all the -way they are in plain sight. and without sale retreat.
It was daylight when Peter left the Green Forest to cross to the dear old Brier-patch. Then he had stopped at Johnny ohuck's house for a. bit of gossip. By the time he was ready to go on it was too late. Roddy Fox had been him Mrs. H-eddy had seen him. Redtail the Hawk had seen him. Flip the Terrier had seen him. His only chance of escape had been to 110589 In?-0 the" brick door of Johnny Chuck's house. 'I\his he had done. hoping that Johrmy Chuck didn‘t

North's pass over one spade was intended as a trap, and when East failed to hold the bidding open. South sensed the situation and "protected" his partner in the cheapest possible way. by biddin: one notrump. Actually, this bid was a little lighter than is general- ly advisable, even as a protection measure, but North, who was un- doubtedly aware that his partners bid was a mere “courtesy" might well have bid only two no- trump—- after all. he did not have a. great many winners. v
However, South played the hand beautifully. and thus made up for the deficiencies in high cards.
West opened the spade four. south won with the jack ‘and re- turned the heart jack. west duck- ing. East won and led back his re- maining spade. (No shift would have been better.) The spade queen was taken by the ace, and e. heart was led to the ten. west won, cash- ed the spade king, and then forced out dummy's last spade stopper.
Ii‘ declarer had discarded badly on the two spade leads he could not follow. his chances would haie ' faded. but actually he gave up two clubs and held on to a heart. He then ran four diamonds tricks- and West was "fixed"! To keep the high heart and his club protection. he had to give up his good spadc: thereupon he was thrown in with the heart ace and forced to ret/um a club from his king to the North- South tensce in that suit.

Just tar enough inside the door- way to be safe from Flip. that ex- cited. noisy Dos. which seemed W be trying to bark his head off. he had crouched hoping for the besv and tearing for the worst—thet Johnny Chuck might fmd mm there and drive him out. "I'll get out of here the very first chance I get." thought Peter. After a while Flip discovered Johnny Chuck at his front door He forgot all about Peter and be- gan trying to get at Johnny and couldn't because of some big stones in the way. All the time Johnny growled and snarled at him, mak- ing Flip more excited than ever. "I guess this is my chance." thought Peter. and crept out the back door. Flip was too much 02- cupied to even look uP- He had 9355 only‘ for Johnny Chuck. so near yet sust out of. reach. It was too provoking for him to think of any-‘ thing else. Peter crept out. looked back over hs shoulder hastily to make sure Flip didn't see him, and cautiously crept a little way. keep- ing as close to the ground as 1708- siblc. Then he sat up for a quick look to make sure that the way to the dear Old Brier-patch was safe. At first glance it seemed so and he -was Just about to start for home.
low just a little above the ground appeared Harrier the Marsh Haw . He flew back and forth this w y and that. He was hunting for Mice. Peter knew that. He also knew that if Harrier was really hungry. and probably he was. a Rabbit would even be more to his liking than Mice. There could be no going home now. I-lvurriedly he crept back to the back door of Johnny Chuck's house and inside.
After a long time Flip stopped barking. Farmer Brown's boy had called him home. He had gone rc- luctently but he had gone because he had learned to mind. Shortly Peter heard Johnny chuck going down to his bedroom. lie was still grumbling.
“I! Peter Rabbit had kept away from here that Dog wouldn't have come over here." grumbled John- ny. ": hope he'll stay away from here after this. Things are all wrong when a fellow can't have a little peace in his own home."
Presently all was quiet outside and inside. Peter crept to the door- way snd cautiously poked his hexul out. A shadow moved across the grass. Peter looked ‘up. There was Redtell the Hawk circling high above. There could be. no going home with that. fellow around. with a sigh of disappointment Peter backed inside. He would have to wait. He clozed. but he was too uneasy to doze for more than a few minutes at a time.
Every now and then, when all was still, Peter would venture out- side hoping to start for home. only to be disappointed. It seemed to him that all the hungry folk for and wide had chosen to hunt on the Green Meadows that day. He began to wonder if he ever would get back to the dear, safe Old Briarqaatch. He wouldn't have minded had that house been an old one with no one living in it.. But it wasn't, and he couldn't get rid of the fefiling that if Johnny Chuck shoul find him there it
would be just too bad-for him.
