He wants to have a good dinner himself.” Now, right down in his heart Peter Rabbit' knew that little Mrs. Peter was right, He knew that it would be just like Reddy Fox to try such a trick to get him out of the dear Old_Briar- patch. But he was fo hungry that he Just made himself belicve that Reddy Fox had come over there to the dear Old Briar-patch simply as a friend. “He went off over to the Green Fores: | ONE,BY ONE THE LITTLE STARS hunting.” muttered Peter to himself.| SeME OUT AN “He didn't go over toward Farmer - 11 Buo F!:;uzn v, Exalted Liederkranz Geevem Brown’s at all.

He looked this way and he looked that way. No one was to be seen. Far away in the Green Forest he heard the call of Hooty the Owl. That settled it. Peter took a hasty look around for little Mrs. Peter. She was at the other end of the dear Old Briar-patch. Peter hopped out and off he started, lipperty-lipperty-lip, headed straight for Farmer Brown's dooryard.

As proof of lack of malice, the employer cited the fact that he had not acted until his attorney had as- sured him that there was sufficient reasonable cause to have a warrant issued. The suit against the employer was dismissed, the court stating: “In most jurisdictions, as in Penn- sylvania, the defendant makes out a complete defense by showing that he submitted to proper counsel a state- ment conforming to legal requirements concerning the guilt of the accused; that in good faith he received advice Jjustifying the proceedings complained of.
