Yes, sir, Peter is a little reckless. Perhaps it is because he has the wandering foot. You know, in_spite of all little Mrs. Peter can do, Peter will leave the dear Old Briar-patch to go roaming about. Every time he does it he takes a chance. In the dear Old Briar-patch he is com- paratively safe. Shadow the Weasel is about the only enemy who can get in under those bramble tangles. But once \%\‘5‘, \ NAY; W Y/ ' | / AN MY, MY, MY! HOW HE DID RUN! Peter is outside the dear Old Briar- patch he must be on his guard every minute. Peter was up in the Old Pasture. It was a long time since he had been up there. He ought to have gone home _ before daylight, but he hadn't done this and now, because he saw Redtail the| Hawk circling high over the Green Meadows, he decided that the wisest thing for him to do was to stay there :in the Old Pasture. “It's safe enough,” said Peter, talk- ing to himself. “All I have to do is to watch out for Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy and Old Man Coyote. There are plenty of bramble tangles where I am | safe from them. Old Jed Thumper, | A NEW VORKER AN'we NEw VORKERS KNOW A LOT OF THOSE FELLAS AT TH PIERS - WHY Say T CouLD V= | was sitting.

If it is safe for him it is safe for me." | Now there was one thing that Peter didn’t remember. This was that it was the hunting season—the season when men with terrible guns were always looking for certain of the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows, including himself. So, when Peter heard heavy footsteps coming down one of the cowpaths, he was not particularly frightened. It might be Farmer Brown’s Boy: it might be Farmer Brown himself. There was noth- ing in the world to fear from either of them. So Peter merely sat perfectly still and listened to those footsteps drawing nearer and nearer. And then something happened. A big stone came crashing into the bramble tangle where Peter He bounded away along one of the little paths out of that bramble tangle and down the cowpath. Just a little way down there was a turn in the path and as Peter went around that turn there was a terrible bang behind him. Peter knew what that bang was. He knew it was the bang of a terrible gun. He had heard guns before. If Peter had been frightened when that stone landed in the bramble tan- gle, he was ten times as frightened now. My, my, my, how he did run! His white tail bobbed up and down, up and dowm, as only . Rabbit’s tail can when a Rabbit is in ahurry to get somewhere. And Peter was in a hurry to get some- wher>. He was in a hurry to get as far as possible from that hunter with the terrible gun. He darted into a bramble tangle and through this to another little cowpath. Along this cowpath he raced and finally, panting and out of breath, he crept into a hole in the middle of another bramble tangle. It wasn’t until then that he felt a sharp pain, or rather a sharp ache, in his_left shoulder. It was very much such an ache as Peter had known when he had been stung by a yellow jacket. At first he thought that this must be what had happened. But it wasn’t. That was not the sting of a yellow jacket. It was the sting of a small shot that | had come from that terrible gun. The hunter had had only a glimpse of Peter and he had missed him with all but that one tiny shot. That one had gone through the skin of Peter's shoulder and now Peter was feeling it.
