KNOW WHATS W THAT' = SUIT CASE:§ [T5 A BUNCA OF ' LAVA ROCK FROM m: vesuvivs ! BEDTIME STORIES The Queer People. 1t for knowledge you would try, Beck and search and peek and pry. ~—Old Mother Nature. Rattles the Kingfisher was sitting on & dead branch which hung over a pool in the Laughing Brook. There were many stones on the bottom. On the edge of it was a big rock. tles called to Peter Rabbit, who 8it- ting on the bank nearby. “Peter,” said Rattles, “if you'll come over and sit on this big rock and look down in the water and keep perfectly still for a while you'll see some queer people liv- ing_ there.” Now. you know how full of curiosity Peter Rabbit is. Once that curiosity ™ e L 3 (o “ivie 80 PETER KEPT HIS EYES ON THE STONES IN THE BOTTOM OF ‘THE LITTLE POOL. is aroused Peter cannot be satisfled until that curiosity has also been satis- fied. So Peter hopped out on the big rock. He really had nothing to do and he might as well be sitting there as somewhere else. “Can_you see the bottom of that lit- tle_pool clearly, Peter?” asked Rattles, Peter nodded. 1y.” said he. “All right,” replied Rattles. you watch those stones down there and | see what comes out from under them. Sooner or later you will see somebody.” So Peter kept his eyes fast on the stones in the bottom of the little pool. For a long time nothing happened. “I can see it perfect- | BY THORNTON ¥°. BURGESS three times his eyes half closed. He began to suspect that Rattles might be playing & joke on him. But Rattles the Kingfisher remained upon his perch, also staring intently down into the water. Peter decided he could sit | as long_as Rattles could. | At last patience was rewarded. Peter saw a little water insect of some sort. Suddenly there darted out from under one of those stones a curious brown creature with a big head and wicked-looking jaws. The body seemed to be made up of segments. At the forward part there were three pairs of legs. From each side of the segments back of these projected what Peter at first thought were half-grown legs but which really were not legs but aids to swimming. The wicked pair of jaws | closed on the unfortunate little insect and he was carried back under the stone. Peter looked up at Rattles and there was a twinkle in the eyes of Rattles. _“Well?” said Peter. “Well?" repeated Rattles after him. “Who was that I saw down there?” asked Peter. l“'rhn was a Dobson,” replied Rat- tles, “No such thing!” retorted Peter. “If that, big-winged creature that I saw a while ago was a Dobson, that cer- tainly isn't a Dobson down under that stone.” “Did you ever see a caterpillar?” in- quired Rattles in an innocent tone. “What a silly question!” retorted Peter. “I've seen many caterpillars.” “What becomes of the caterpillars?” inquired Rattles. “They become butterfiles or moths,” replied Peter. “Everybody knows that.” “Then a caterpillar really is a_but- terfiy or a moth in different form, isn't 1t?” Rattles asked. “I suppose it is,” replied Peter grudg- ingly “It's just the same with a Dobson,” explained Rattles. “That one you saw down there & moment ago will some under a stone or some similar placc, and there go through its great change, just as a caterpillar may make & co- coon and go through the great change in it. A great insect like that one you saw will finally come out. The Dob- son lives under stones in the water for “Just | nearly three years after it leaves the egg and then changes into & great fly- ing insect, just as the caterpillar changes into ‘& butterfly.” Peter exhaled a long breath. I thought I knew all_there know,” said he half to himself. “And was to . ; oveR ME AFTER e inoeqits o b T Like leaves tk;g hide T toe e ! SAT QUEeN OF RUSSIA® the heaven’s ; blue . AH!
