In the following deal, errors of

bidding and play were almost too numerous to be counted.

continued to push. Peter really was scared. It was one 'thing to meet Jimmy Skunk outside. where there was plenty of room to jump and

run. It would be another thing altogether to meet him inside where there wasn't even room to'turn around. Peter held his breath as he cocked his long ears and listened for some sound from below. All was still. Mrs. Peter crowded him I little harder, and he moved just a few steps more. Still there was no sound from below.

"Stop pushing!" whispered Peter 3 bit crossly.

"Then give me room!" Mrs. Peter whispered back just as crossly.

Both were cross. because both were scared. It often happens that way. Fear often makes folks cross It is funny that way. Now Peter took a few steps more and little ,Mrs. Peter was really inside. far ienouszh to be out of reach of Rough llarother North Wind and the freez- ing snow.

”Who's in my house?" came a fretful voice from down below. Peter held his breath; Mrs. Peter held her breath. They didn't make a sound. Then they heard that frctful voipe grumbling. Jimmy was talking to himself. At long: last Peter ventured to change his posi- tion. He loosened a small stone that rolled a little wav along the dark hall. It. didn't make much of a sound. but Jimmv must have heard it. for again he railed. "Who's Lliere?"

"It is only us." replied Peter in a shaky small voice.

"Who is us?” called Jimmy, in that same frctfnl tone.

"Just Mrs. Peter and me, Peter Rabbit." replied Peter.

"Oh!" said Jimmy. "So it is just you. Well. what are you doing in my house?”

"We've come in here to get out of the dreadful storm. We are not doing any harm." quavered Peter.

”So. there's a dreadful storm. is there." replied Jimmy. "I didn't

asleep for a couple of days.

"It is dreadful." said Peter. "We just had to come in here or freeze to death. We won't bother you."

"Who said you would?" demand- ed Jimmy Skunk. ”I'm glad you had sense enough to come in out of the cold. You would have been silly if you hadn't."

"Then you really don't mind our being here?" said Peter.

"If I did. I'd drive you out." replied Jimmy Skunk.

so it was that Peter Rabbit found out what he should have known, that in times of common danger. or suffering. neighbors have nothing to fear from each other. Peter and Mrs. Peter. lian- nlly settled themselves to wait for that dreadful ice storm to end. SEARLETOWN MISSION BAND
