Even the bold and unafraid Find themselves in need of aid. —Jimmy Skunk. Poor Jimmy Skunk! Can you imagine & werse fix than Jimmy was in? He had poked his head into a little glass jar | in search of something to eat, and now, do what he would, he couldn't get that jar off. He tried to baek out of it but, of course, the jar went right along with him. He tried to push it off with his forepaws, but he couldn't budge it. He'shook his head as hard as he could shakeuit, hoping in this way to shake > his neck y uncom- fortable, but it frightened Jimmy. Yes, sir, it frightened Jimmy. It isn't often that Jimmy Skunk reaily is frightened. But he was frightened now and very badly frightened. Jimmy could see through the glass, but he couldn't see clearly. The resuit “PLEASE' HELP ME, PETER” AND PETER COULDN'T HELP HIM. was that he Bumped into things. When Peter Rabbjt hopped out beside Jimmy, Jimmy S2w'him. And he looked at Peter 5> mournfull§ that Peter, who naturally is tender “heirted, felt a little lump come liit"ht in throat. You see, those eves of Jimmy's seemed to say, “Please help fl."%f" And Peter couldn’t help him. No, sir, he couldn’t help him 2 bit. He tyied and tried and tried to think of ‘something he could do to help Jimmy, but not a single thing could he of. He couldn’t think of anything t anybody -could do. “I never to see Jimmy Skunk helpless,” said Peter to Wanderer the Grosbeak. *“No, :n: 1 never expected to see Ji Skup 3 he tn't so. helpless as he Tilt;i])aily- Across. .

BURGESS “Yes, he is,” said Peter. “If he should meet Reddy Fox. Reddy wouldn't have the least fear of him now. It would be the same with Old Man Coyote. They could take him by surprise. They could jump on him before he knew they were near. I never expected to see Jimmy Skunk helpless. What he can do about it, I don't know. Oh, dear, I'm s0 sorry | for him.” | But Jimmy Skunk was not quite so heipless as Peter thought he was. Jimmy Skunk has a long head, as saying is. That means that he is smart; it means that he thinks. Of course, he couldn't talk to Peter and Peter couldn’t talk to him, because that jar prevented hearing and talking. So Jimmy just kept on his way, bumping into this and stumbling over that, but making his way along all the time in one direction. Pretty soon he came out of the bushes into the Old Orchard, where there was nothing to interfere. Then he got along faster. He didn't get along very fast, but he got along faster. And he kept going in one direction, excepting when he would stop and try to back cut of the hottle. He was heading up toward Farmer Brown's dooryard. Peter Rabbit followed a little way behind. He just had to. He had to know where Jimmy Skunk was going. So he was only a little back of Jimmy when finally Jimmy reached Farmer Brown's dooryard. Peter stopped then, but he found a place where he could peep over the old stone wall and watch Jimmy. Jimmy kept on right straight across Farmer Brown’s dooryard. Sud- denly Bowser the Hound came around the corner of the house. Right away Bowser saw that something was wrong. He began to bark. He began to get excited. Jimmy Skunk’s tail went up. Bowser backed away. He understood the warning of that tail, so he kept at a respectful distance, but barked and barked and barked. Jimmy Skunk paid no further attention to him. He just plodded along toward that dooryard. Jimmy was seeking aid. Yes, sir, that was what Jimmy was doing. (Copyright, 1929.) Shrimps With Green Pepper.
