Mrs. Peter stays li-i the dear Old Brier-patch. Peter has what she calls “itching heels." but she hasn't. Along the hank Peter found footprints in the snow. He stop- ped to look at rheim. It always is ivell to know who ls in the neigh- borhood or has been. Knowing this often enables one to keen out of trouble. So Peter stopped for a look at these prints "Bobby Coons Anjrivav a Centre." he muttered. “Hasnt zone to sleep for the winter yet but.

Every ievv bounds Peter stopped to sit up the better to see ahead. S0 it was that he saw the niakcr of those prints before lic was him- self seen. It was a member of Bc-bby Coons liinilly just as Peter had all along known from the prints that il. must be. It was a big Coon.
