A Strain on the Family Tie.—By Gaar Williams B Now SOMEWMAT RELEVED ! Unwelcome Visitor. Impulsiveness in speech or deed, To trouble is quite sure to lead. —Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit had been away from the dear Old Briar-patch a night and a day. Littie Mrs. Peter demanded to know where he had been. Peter told her how he had been chased into a hole | in the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard by a dog he had never seen before. “I don't know where that fellow came from. We must watch out for him. Perhaps _he is only a visitor. But Farmer Brown's Boy came and got him and that's what I do not understand,” “YOU ARE SAFE IN THE DEAR OLD BRIAR PATCH AND WHAT YOU WANT TO LEAVE IT FOR I DON'T KNOW.” said Peter. “I hope he has not come to Farmer Brown's to live. If he has I hope he'll stay up there and not come around the dear Old Briar-patch. He runs too fast. Yes, sir, he runs too fast. I had one of the narrowest escapes of my life.” “You wouldn't have had if you had stayed at home in the dear Old Briar- patch, as you should have,” retorted little Mrs, Peter rather sharply. “You are safe in the dear Old Briar-patch and what you want to leave for I don't know.”, e Peter made no reply to this. He was BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. used to it. Whenever he left the dear ©Old Briar-patch he knew for a certainty that on his return little Mrs. Peter would have something to say about it. He just didn’t listen to her now. He was thinking of that strange dog. “He can run circles around Bowser,” said Peter. “If you ever see a black and white dog over this way, just keep out of sight, Fuzzy.” You know Peter calls little Mrs. Peter “Fuzzy,” for her name used to be Miss Fuzzytail. Little Mrs. Peter happened to be sit- ting where she could look out across the Green Meadows toward Farmer Brown’s. “There's a white spot moving out there on the Green Meadows,” said she, “It seems to be coming this way.” Peter looked. “I do believe it is that dog,” sald he. “We must keep out of sight, my dear.” So Peter and Mrs. Peter retired to the middle of the dear Old Briar-patch. Meanwhile, Flip—for it was Flip—was running about on the Green Meadows looking for excitement. Gradually he drew nearer to the dear Old Briar-patch. At last he reached it. It was the first time he had ever been there. He trotted along the edge of 1t, sniffing here and sniffiing there. He poked his head in at the entrance of one of Peter's private little paths. In fact, he poked his head in at the entrance of every private little path that Peter had made leading into the dear Old Briar-patch. “I wonder what is inside there?” said Flip. “That looks like a good place for some one to be hiding. I wonder if I can crawl in there? Ouch! I scratched my nose. I don't like these sharp things.” Of course, Flip meant the brambles. All this time Peter and Mrs. Peter had been sitting side by side watching. “That's the fellow!” whispered Peter to Mrs. Peter. “Did you hear his yelp? I guess he got his nose scratched. I wish these brambles would scratch him up so that he never would come again. I tell you what it is, my dear; I'm go- ing to see if I cannot get him in here. He can't catch me in these little paths of mine and he certainly will get him- self scratched.” “‘Are you crazy, Peter Rabbit?” whis- pered little Mrs. Peter. “You keep still right where you are.” But little Mrs. Peter was too late. Peter had suddenly thumped on the ground with his stout hind feet and it was & loud thump. {Copyright, 1929.) Daily Cross-Word Puzzle THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
