Howler the Wolf. A reputation tr Be careful, ther far; hat you are Mother Nature. Peter Rabbit was not the only one interested in Mr. and Mrs. Wanderer the Evening Grosbeaks. The other feathered folk were very apt to gather around. Even Happy Jack Squirrel would sit where he could listen. So it was that when Wanderer good naturedly began to tell Peter Rabbit about Howler the Wolf there were quite a number of listeners. They didn't ap- pear to be listening. Goodness, no. ‘They pretended to be eating. But they were all near enough to hear what was being said. Peter Rabbit had sald that he wished Wanderer would tell him about Howler the Wolf. “Howler,” began Wanderer, “is- big and gray. “How big?” asked Peter. “Bigger than Bowser the Hound,” 7 “DOES HE LIVE IN THE GREE! FOREST?” PETER ASKED. replied ‘Wanderer, .who had already learned Bowser's name, “What does he look like?” Peter asked eagerly. o Coyote, only ever so much . You know, Old Man Coyote is really a Wolf— the Prairie Wolf," said Wanderer. “Does he live in the Forest?” Peter BEDTIME STORIE THE FELLOW WHO USED 0 PE ENRAPTURED BY BY THORNTON W. BURGESS “That depends,” replied Wanderer. “'Way up North he does. But out in the Far West he lives where there is very little forest. But wherever he | lives he is feared, for he is very flerce | and very strong and very swift of foot, |and he is very, very smart. Only the Bears and Flathorns the Moose and Puma the Panther are unafraid of Howler. Even Flathorns the Moose, when he is without his great antlers and snow is deep, has reason to fear Howler and his family, for Howler sel- dom hunts alone. Usually Howler and Mrs. Howler and their grown children hunt together.” “I've heard about Flathorns the Moose, but I have never seen him,” said Peter, “Is he really o very big? Is he 50 very much larger than Lightfoot the Deer?” E “You know how big horses are, don't you?” asked Wanderer. Peter nodded. “Of course,” said he. “Everybody knows how hig horses are.” “Well,” replied Wanderer, “Flathorns the Moose is as big as a good-sized horse.” “And do you mean to tell me that such a big fellow as that is afraid of Howler the Wolf?” demanded Peter, looking as if he very much doubted it. “I certainly do,” replied Wanderer. “He isn't afraid of Howler, excepting when he is without his great antlers. But you know he drops his antlers just as Lightfoot the Deer drops his. he has only his sharp-edged hoofs with which to defend himself. If the snow is deep he cannot use these very well. Of course, Howler and his famlly have to be very ugly to attack Flathorns. But they often attack young Moose and Mrs. Flathorns.” “And can they really kill such big folks?” Peter persisted . “Certainly,” replied Wanderer, “Then the Deer would be afraid of Howler. He isn't much afraid of Old Man Coyote,” said Peter. “Indeed he would be,” replied Wan- derer. “Howler's favorite er is of deer meat.” “I don’t see how that can be,” replied Peter. “Lightfoot is so swift that he could run away.” “Not from Howler the Wolf,” declared Wanderer, “I told you that Howler is .very swift of foot and very :cunning: When a pack of Wolves—and that means Howler and his family—once Btart out on the trail of a Deer, that Deer is fortunate, indeed, if he escapes.” (Copyright, 1929.)

(Copyright, 1929.) I Two Sid I L My neighbor, Jinx, comes to my door, his wrath is great, his heart is sore; he tells me tales concerning Hicks, who's played him many beastly tricks. It seems that Hicks is low and base, a blot upon the human race; there is no stratagem so vile he won't employ it with a smile; he is a traitor to his friends, and all his leisure time he spends in hatching plots against men’s peace; his evil efforts never cease. And as I listen I'm inclined to think his ual hard to find; at moments I have wildly weened that Hicks is but & hu- man fiend. But it has ever been my way to ponder things for half a day, to study matters to and fro, before decid- ing con or pro. I think it only fair and just to hear both sides of things discust, before I hand down my decree and ply my moral snickersnee. And so I talked with Neighbor Hicks about the catalogue of tricks of which the wrathful Jinks complains and calls for penalties and pains. “Jinx is indeed a worthy wight,” Hicks told me, pleasant and polite; “he is a man of spotless fame, he plays a high and noble game, and I am grieved and pained to know he lgoks upon me as a foe. When can- didate for county clerk he thought I ought to quit my work, cease pitching my hungry brood, and put in all my nights and days at rounding up the voting jays, by means of frenzied rig- maroles, that he might conquer at the polls. And that is all I've done, me- thinks, to gain the wrath of Neighbor Jinx.” So it is wise to learn the facts before resort to lethal acts. WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1929.)
