(By Thornton As happiness ls sometimes tearful, So loveliness is sometimes fearful. -Old Mother Nature.

Jolly. bright Mr. Sun climbed up in the blue, blue sky and looked down on the beautiiui scene, a world of loveliness. He had seen sucli loveliness beiore, but never greater loveliness. It was such loveliness as makes one catch one‘s breath as if it were being taken away from one. Peter Rabbit felt just that way as he looked out from the dear Old Brier-patch, aithougu he probably didn't. know why he had that feeling. Things that. yes- terday seemed ugly were this morning o! rare beauty.

Jack Frost had turned to ice wher- ever it touched. He had been busy, very busy indeed. all through the night. This was the magic that had produced this loveliness which, after all, was no magic at all.

But loveliness may sometimes be dreadful. 8o it was 10i- many folk with all this loveliness. Some didn't. see the loveliness at all for zlie dreadiulness of it. You see, to many it meant hunger and cold and worry. it meant food locked up so that those who heeded it could not get. it. no matter how great the need. It meant that some, like Bob Vlkilc and his fam- ily and the children of Thunderer and Mrs. Grouse, vrcrc themselves prisoners, locked beneath a crust through which they could not break.

To some there was neither love- liness nor dreadiulness. Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse, using old tunnels and digging new ones

all iood was locked away where they couldn't get it. They would simply go back to sleep again. Paddy the Beaver and Jerry Musk- rat were in their warm and corn- tortable houses, with plenty oi’ food under the ice, where they could get it whenever they were hungry. ‘iiicy didn't care a slop of their tails now things were above the ice. To Peter and Mrs. Peter Rabbit, and to Jumper the Hare, this loveliness was inconvenient but not dteadiul. And it was unpleas- ant. They could keep from starv- ing. but it. would be cold, very oold fare. It was the same. only more w. with Lightfooi the Deer, Mn. Lightioot and the twins in their so-called yard in the Green For-

est.

But to Raddy and Mrs. Roddy Fox, to Yowier the Bobcat. to Old Coyote. to i-iooty the Great Horned Owl, to little Spooky the Screech Owl, to Bincky the Crow and to some oi’ the smaller feath- ered folk. who must eat much and often to keep warm enough to live, for it is food that makes heat in the lwdynthere was only dresdiulness. They had been unable to 1mm while the storm lasted, and by the time it ended their stomaches were empty. Now it. was not only hard for some of them to get about, but there was little or nothing they could eat. In ell that. loveliness they sew only starvation. and starvation is s. very dreadful thing, Only under the snow and ice was there any real happiness. Above were hunger and fear and misery
