It will not let you forget when u want to forget. Peter Rabbit never | went over to the Green Forest that he | didn't remember what Whitefoot the ‘Wood Mouse had told him about his | ‘Winter home. Just the sight of the edge of the Green Forest would remind | Peter of Whitefoot's secret and imme- | diately arouse Peter's curiosity. He | E PETER ASKED WAS HIS COUSIN, JUMPER THE HARE. wasted a lot of time hunting for that home of Whitefoot's. Sbmetimes he saw Whitefoot, but more often he didn't. When he did see Whitefoot it was always near the place where he | had met Whitefoot when tue latter had told him about that home. Now, many pairs of eyes are hetter | than just one pair. At least, that is | what Peter Rabbit thought. “If I can't | find Whitefoot'’s home mysz1f, perhaps | some one else can,” said he. “The thing | 1o do is to ask questions.” The first one Peter asked was his cousin, Jumper the Hare, who lives in the Green Forest. “Cousin Jumper,” | said Peter. “do you happen to know where Whitefoot the Wood Mouse :s living this Winter?” Jumper scratched a long ear with a long hindfoot. “No, I don't, Peter,” said he. “Now you mention the mat- ter, it occurs to me that I haven't seen Whitefoot all Winter. I do hope nothing has happened to him. I am racher fcnd of the little fellow. “I can set your mind at rest on that score,” said Peter. “Nothing has hap- pened to him. Anyway, aothing had happened to him up to a few nighis ago, for I saw him then. He was over on the very edge of the Green Forest.” “That explains it,” said Jumper. “I seldom go over to the edze of the Green Forest. It must be that he has moved over there.” “Do you think so?” cried Peter. “I bhadn’t thought of that. I .ave always thought of Whitefoot as living n the Green Forest, so I suppose he had simply wandered a long way from home."” “You may be certain he hasn't done that,” replied Jumper. “Whitefoot never | wanders very far from his home. You may be sure that his home is not a great way from w! °re you saw him. I | am glad to know that he is alive and all right.” “Oh, he was very much alive ard quite_all right when I last saw him,” sald Peter. “He was looking unusually well. And he told me that he has one of the best homes he has ever had.” “Didn’t he tell you where it is? Or didn’t you ask him?” inquired Jumper. “Oh, I asked him all right,” replied Peter, “but he wouldn't give me so much as a hint. I suppose it must be in a stump, or under a stump, or in a hollow log, or in some old home of Drummer the Woodpecker. I chall have & good look over there now.” “It may be under ground, you know,” said Jumper. “Sometimes Whitefoot makes his home under ground.” - (Copyright, 1930.) Daily Cross-Word Puzzle s Across. .
