PETER SIIOWB A LITTLE SENSE Ia lifals hard uncertain school. dusty first usual he the rule. -0141 Mother Nature. Peter Rabbit has the wandering foot. He dearly loves to get about. He likes to poke his wobbly little noseln all sorts of places. some Dlaces where that little hole has no business to be. It has gotten him into all sorts of scrapes. Of course it is curiosity that is the cause of Peter's wandering. He is curious about everything. Curios- ity is a good thing. a very good thing. when it leads to trying to find out things for better living. On the other hand. it is a very bad thing when it leads to needless danger or interference with other

was seldom of the good kind. So it really was a wonder that he was still alive.

Little Mrs. Peter was forever trying to keep Peter in the dear Old Briar patch. and Peter was forever trying to slip out of it while her back was turned. You see. the dear Old Briar-patch was the saf- est possible place for a Rabbit. It was a mass of brambles and briars all tangled together. Peter and Mrs. Peter had cut little paths. which were really little tunnels. all Iirough the Briar-patch. They were

first big enough for them to move about in easily. but not big enough for any of their enemies. except- ing Shadow the Weasel or Billy Mink. and neither of these had ever visited the Old Brlar-patch. More than once Raddy Fox had tried to go in after Peter. but al- ways had been. glad to back 'out before getting very far in.

When they heard the first bang d the first gun opening the hunt- ing season. Mrs. Peter said to Peter, "I hope now you'll show a little sense."

"Just what do you mean. my dear?" asked Peter. just as if he didn't know.

"You know perfectly well what I mean. Here in the dear Old Brlar-patch you are safe. No two- legged hunter can get in here. And no Dog can get in. Or. if he does. he can't move about quick ,' to be dangerous." iaid Mrs. Peter.

"True. my dear. Quite true." re- plied Peter. "But. I don't think there's any danger in going out a little way to get a good dinner of sweet clover. You know, it won't be long before we can't get any."

"That may be so. but if you have

"I'll believe it when you prove It," said Mrs. Peter rather ieslily.

said Peter. "I'm sorry for folks who don't live in the Old Br - Pitch."

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Then they ate what remained of the food and sent one of their number. Peter Black. to fetch wab er from a nearby spring. Black no sooner had gone than he was back in camp. sreally excited and vowing he had heard the cry of a baby somewhere near the spring. Quickly the others followed Black on the run.

Overhead the storm still ruged, occasionally snapping a tall tim- ber with a crash thai could be heard for miles.

Soon the cries of a Cillifi reach- ed their ears: and. noting the dir- ection from which the sound came. the men plunged forward in the ever deepening snow till at last they were led to a great hollowed- out pine-tree. where they found not on child but a couple of bab- ies which they judged to be about one year old.

Inside the hollowed rampikc had been placed a couple of sheepskins,- while part of the opening had been boarded up to keep the children from falling out. As the infants were being carried back to the

It was after midnight ere the men lay down on their bough beds for sleep. The babies. rescued from ccriaiin death, long since had gone to the Land of Dreams. happy that they were being cared for.

Finally the expedition reached liumc. where the babies provided a subject for conversation in an age when newspapers were lille known in the young colony. 3
