"Hurry!" commended Mire. cpggty, "Do hurry, Peter Rabbit!" "why should I hurry? Thereﬂs no need for hurry. 'I\hat Bnakei skin won't run away It will stay right “more it is." replied Peter l-lo was teasing his ieathered iricnds.

"Please, Peter, hurry end show q vrhcre that skin ill’ blended crosty. "lt may not be knportelt 1,, ycu, but it is to us. You have no idea haw we have hunted and hunted ior a Snake skin. Even a piece oi one would do. Mrs. Cresty wit. settle down to housekeeping and he happy until we iind ti."

"I don't believe he knows where were is one." said am. Crest)’ sharply.

~ye,, I do, 1 krww where there g a whole old suit that Blufier thz- Adder as leit." replied Peter a; he slowly crept out oi’ the brnnibYe-tangle.

He led the my around to the otlzcr side oi the Old Brier-patch M a certain place there he ﬂopped. Just nside, covered with o, tangle oi ria-rs and brambles n. l. hlg stone. "It is in there." said he.

Ynsoantly two pairs 0i bridht eyes were peering in Ilmugh the {Angle or briars and brambles. 'I'he excited skin hunters knew just WliBYC to look. From long experi-

place s snake seeks when the time comes to crawl out or en old suit. Now they looked along the Odie n: that big stone where it rested on the ground.

"i see iti" shrieked lvilrs. Oresty.

"So do I!" cried Oreety.

Getting in there through and under that prickly tangle wasn't easy, but Peter's two friends did it with surprising quickness. All the time they chattercd excitedly. At n certain place Bluiier the Adder had inrced his way under the edge oi that big stone and then had crme ollt again at a point l. little ini-ther along. Now his old skin. turnczl vrrorlg side out as a. tight glove would be sitar you h-ad pnllrd it cii, was under the edge of Hint rock one end outside where Bluficr hnd started to push under slid the other end outside where lie hnd come out from beneath the big stone.

Crrsly pounced on one and and liirs. Crest-y seized the other end. Then PilO-h tried to pull that skin out lrcm beneath the rock. They tugged and tugged and were to excited to see wihat the trouble nan, that they were tugging ayllniot each other; Peering in irolu outside Peter Rabbit chuckled as he watched the ex- citement. Mrs. Oreety let go (or en instant nd that end u! the skin began to move. Cresty ‘was

pullinng it through that passage

so they struggled and tugged and got more and more excited, ‘Ilhen something happened. That old suit o! Bluiterm tore apart. After all it was an old suit. cresty pulled out a piece and Mrs. Cresty pulled out a longer piece. They didn't mind that it was torn. Then began the job of getting it out ircm beneath those briars. Both had no end o! trouble. It caught time alter time. Sometimes it was quite a jab to get it tree. At last Mrs. Cresty pulled her part outside iiYlC Brlar-patch, and g moment later Crest-y had his u”,

They didn't even thank Peter Rabbit. Although he was sitting right there they didn't even notice him. ‘they were we excited and happy. Each seized a piecearl away they ilew toward the Old Orolwrd. a part o! Bluifer-‘s old suit trailing behind each. As they flew over the Green Meadows Johnny Ohuck saw them and won- dered what strange birds those were.

At the nest Mrs. Cresty took both pieces inside and arranged them to suit her. Now that 9h, had what she wanted, what she ieit she must have although she didn't know why. she was Qne o! the happiest birds in the old 0r- ch-l-rd- Yel. sir. she was so.
