NAPOLEON AND UNCLE ELBY

You find in life's exacting school Exceptions govern every rule. -Peter Rabbit.

Long ago Peter Rabbit found out that a lot is to be learned by listen- ing while keeping quiet. So when he can do so without being seen he likes to listen to the chattering and gossiping of his feathered friends in the Old Orchard. A lot of it goes on there because so many make their homes them. It is always so where many folks are near neighbors. l-low can one keep a silent tongue and still be neighborly? It just isn't done. Peter knows this and loves to sit unseen among the bushes along the old stone wall on one side of the Old Orchard. Doing that he has learned much, some things that were none of his business.

He knows that the best time to be around with his long ears wide open is in early nesting time when there are eggs in the nests and the mother birds are sitting on l them. Then, after they have eaten - breakfast and have nothing in par- ticular to do, the fathers of the Old Orchard are likely to Just sic around and chatter. So it is then that Peter likes to be on hand wit); his long ears wide open. Later, when the eggs have hatched, every one will be too busy to waste time sitting around. Every one but Peter. Somehow he can always find time for that.

This morniru the gossipers had agreed that while most feathered fathers are good fathers most four- lootecl fathers are poor fathers, some even bad.

"Some babies might Just as well have no father in so far as any help he is in taking care of them,” declared Welcome Rnbln,

"Like Buster Bear's cubs," said Sammy Jay.

"And the babies oi’ Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, and Rusty the

—i————-—- my" hm thought much about it, but he isn't much of a father. He doesn't even know where 1h! nursery of his babies was. 01' when they were born. l-ie never is sure he has any until most unexpected- ly they are hopping about in the dear 01d Brlar-plllch. Even then he has little to do with them. When they disappear, starting out for themselves in the Great World when still small. he doesn't worry about them. He leaves all the wor- rying for Mrs. Peter. . “I don't say that all four-footed fathers are poor fathers. I guess some are worse than others. I know one who is as good a father as any here in the Old Orchard," said Sammy Jay. No one knows more about his neighbors than does Sammy Jay. He gets around. Yes, sir, Sammy Jay gets around. And while doing it he doesn't miss anything going on around him. "who?" cried two or three to- gether. "Some one all of you know and often see," replied Sammy teas- ingly.

" here does he live?" asked Welcome Robin. “In the Old Pasture," ‘replied Sammy Jay. “Not Raddy Foxi" cried Skim- mer the Swallow. "How did you guess‘ it?" chuckled Sammy. "There isn't a better father anywhere. We feath- ered folks help feed our babies, as we should. Some of us even share our food with our mates while they are sitting on eggs. Reddy Fox is Just as good a father and Just as good a mate. There isn't a selfish hair on him." “Tut, tut, tut, tut! Who says so?" sputtered Jenny Wren. "I do," retorted Sammy Jay. “I know what I've seen, and I've seen a lot. If you doubt what I have said gc over to the Old Pasture and watch. Roddy and Mrs. Reddy have some lively little cubs there now. You won't have to watch long to see what kind of a father Roddy is, and you'll never see a, better one. He is as good a. father as Buster Bear is a bad one." Sammy was very much in ear- nest. lt was plain that he meant, what he said. And Sammy was right. Reddy is one of the best of fathers, but he isn't the only one among the folks in fur. Sammy could have said the same thing about Old Man Coyote and Howler the Wolf. They too are good fathers, Just as good fathers as Mrs. Coyote and Mrs. Wolf are mothers. Sammy didn't know that. A lot of folks don't know It, and some won't believe it. But it it so.
