ESTATE.’ BEDTIME STORIES Finds Jimmy at Work. A tongue that wags too freely may Unknowingly give much away. —Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy Skunk may move slowly. He may appear never to hurry. But there is nothing slow about Jimmy's wits. He picks up hints here and there, hints which may be useful to him later, and no one suspects that he is doing anything of the kind.

A little later Peter returned along the same path. As he drew near the sunny bank he wondered if he would see Mrs. Blacksnake again. As he came in sight of that sunny bank he stopped short.

I wonder what Jimmy is doing that for. It must be that he saw a fat beetle under that big, flat stone and is trying to dig it out. That stone is too big for him to pull over and so he is digging under it. I didn’t suppose Jimmy would do that much work just for a fat beetle Peter sat down tos watch. Skunk hadn't seen him. Jimmy was too much occupied to be looking around. He is such an independent fellow that he seldom cares who sees him. Just now he was too much interested in what he was doing even to glance around. With his little black paws he was digging away the earth from under the edge of that big, flat stone. He seemed to be very eager.

T wonder what Mrs. Blacksnake would do if she should come home and find Jimmy at work there?” Peter looked all about eagerly for some sign of Mrs. Blacksnake. He saw nothing of her for the very good reason that she wasn't there. Jimmy Skunk was digging faster now. He was hurrying as much as Jimmy ever hurries. Peter could see that he was quite excited. Yes, sir, Jimmy Skunk was quite excited. Peter grew more and more curlous. Two or three times he opened his mouth to ask Jimmy what he was working so hard for. But each time decided to wait.
