THE EVENING STAR, WASHING Reddy Fox Looks Foolish. Be not too sure; it doeen't pay. Chagrin may be your lot that way. —Reddy Fox. ‘What _has become of Peter Rabbit? Reddy Fox didn't know. Mrs. Reddy didn't know. They walked around that little bramble tangle in the Old Pas- ture, looking it through and through. Peter wasn't to be seen. Neither was any trace of Peter to be found outside IT WAS ENOUGH. PETER RABBIT WAS DOWN IN THERE. that bramble tangle. It was just as if he had turned into nothing at all. “I hope you are satisfied now that he didn’t come out on my side,” said Mrs. Reddy somewhat sharply, after Reddy had tried in vain to find some scent left by Peter’s feet. Reddy grinned somewhat sheegghl!. “Yes, my dear, I am quite satisfied,” said he. Then he added. “I hope you are satisfled that Peter did not get out on my side.” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Reddy, “I have been all around on your side and I cannot find the faintest scent of Peter Rabbit. But if he didn't get out on | my side and he didn’t get out on your llde‘lht {'m;“ still beteulll t.huehgm‘:t:u tangle.

Once or twice he yelped as a bramble pricked him very sharply. But he kept on. Mrs. Reddy watched approvingly. She knew that dy intended to find Peter's scent there and follow it. He meant to find the answer to that riddle. It was slow work and hard work and There were bramble tangle big for Peter Rabbit to pass along easily, but they were too small for Reddy to through without a great deal of suffering and many scratches. Now, Reddy is one of those who do not give up easily. Having set his mind on getting at the bottom of this mystery, he didn't intend to allow any- thing like a few scratches and a tear or two in his coat to stop him. Presently Reddy reached the stump of a little tree in the middle of the bramble tangle. It bad been a small tree, 80, of course, Mow it was a small stump. Around it had drifted a little pile of dead leaves. On ene side of it was & small rock. It was when he had reached this that Reddy understood the mystery of the disappearance of Peter Rabbit. Between that small rock and the stump was a hole, hidden by the drifted leaves. From outside the bram- ble tangle that hole couldn’t be seen. Reddy put his black nose into that hole and sniffed. It was enough. Peter Rabbit was down in there. Yes, sir, that is just where Peter Rabbit, was! Reddy’s face looked the disgust he . It was of no use to to dig Peter out, for the roots and the rocks were in the way. Peter was as safe for the time being anyway, as if he were at home in.the' dear Old Briar-patch. Reddy turned and disgustedly made his way out the way he came in. Mrs, Reddy said n g, but there was & question in her eyes. Macdonald Will Never Stop These Wars. Roughhouse o Is Just . Like. .
