N Bedtime Stories Peter Gains Courage &Vl it but & lehll‘wn —uo her OMMY TIT THI CHICKADEE is an optimist. This means that Tommy is one of those who always see the bright side of things, and when things are bad are always sure that they will soon be better. On this particular morning when he visited the dear Old Briar- patch things were about as bad as they could be. Anyway, this is the way most of the little people of the ice- coversd Green Meadows and Green Forest felt about it. There had been an ice storm and everything, even the tiniest twigs of the bushes apd trees, ‘was covered with ice. This meant that for those who were not meat eaters there was no food, and even the meat- eaters would have trouble in getting about to hunt for their meals. Tommy Tit had had no breakfast. You know, in Winter he eats the eggs of plant lice, fastened to the twigs of trees, ready to hatch in the Spring. Also he eats certain seeds. Now he couldn't get any of these things, for they were sealed in ice. Despite this and the fact that he knew he would be able to live only a little while un- less he got food, his “Dee, dee, dee” was as cheery as if there was no such thing as cold and hunger and trouble in all the Great World. He wasn’t in least discouraged. He was sure that he would find a breakfast some- where. When he left the dear Old . Briar-patch he flew in the direction of #PJrmer Brown’s house. Peter Rabbit watched him out of sight. Somehow Tommy Tit's brief visit had completely changed things | ‘The | for Peter. He, too, was hungry. bark that might have furnished him a meal was cased in ice. discouraged and glum. He could see no good in anything. & little ashamed of himself. If such a tiny fellow as Tommy Tit could have the courage to face things cheer- fully, he, Peter, certainly should be able to. He could go longer without food than Tommy could, and if worst came to worst, he could break some of that ice off and get a little bark. And the Great World, shining and | sparkling, really was very, very beau- tiful, just as Tommy Tit had said. Peter hopped to the edge of the Old Briar-patch and looked across the glistening surface of the Green Mead- | ows toward Faermer Brown's. He had been | Now he was | “I wonder if Tommy will find any- thing to eat over there,” thought Peter, “I suspect he will. I suspect that if I went over there I would find something, too. Farmer Brown's Boy never has failed to think of us in hard times, and I don't believe he will now. There goes Sammy Jay over there. I wonder if Bowser the Hound and Flip the Terrier are out this morning. If I was sure that they are not outside I would be tempted to go over there.” longer Peter sat looking over toward Farmer Brown's the more he wanted to run over there, and the faster his courage grew. He looked over toward the Old Pasture where Reddy Fox lives. There was no sign of Reddy or Mrs. Reddy. “I don’t believe they’ll even try to hunt this morning,” thought Peter. “It is too slippery for them to run fast. They couldn’t catch me if they tried.” He looked all around up in the air. He saw only the blue, blue sky and jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun smiling his broadest, There was no enemy to be seen there, “I can get over there safely,” thought Peter. “And when I get there the only real danger will be from those Dogs. There would be plenty of hiding places over there if it were not for this snow. I suppose the Old Stonewall is covered. I could always count on that for safe places. I wish I knew just how things are over there.” “What are you thinking about?” de- | manded little Mrs. Peter from just | back of him. “Nothing much, except that I'm hungry,” replied Peter. Little Mrs. Peter looked at him sus- piciously. “If you were thinking of going over there the best thing you can do is to forget it,” said she. “We may have to go hungry for a while here in the dear Old Briar-patch, but we’ll be safe, and that is the impor- | tant thing.” “Don't you think that getting enough to eat is important?” demand- ed Peter. “Certainly,” replied Mrs. Peter, “but not important enough to risk one's | life for until one really has to.” “I'm not going to starve” declared Peter and suddenly started for Parmer Brown's, (Copyright, 1¥36,) DAILY SHORT STORY REV By Janet T HE rebellion was really a year old. Ruth had made her resolu- tion way back in January—the first week, in fact—and now it was Christ- mas week again, and the test was at hand. She laced stiff, angry fingers 4 through her soft honey -blond hair end glared with one very blue, very rebellious eye at the list on her desk. John Kearney's Christmas list. L4 ‘With the other eve, equally blue, equal- Iy stormy, and twice as rebellious, Ruth saw two things. The hole n her last pair of chiffons, and the * very pink, very sniffly tip of her brief, straight little nose. It was really the snag in her best‘ stockings, plus the cold in her nose, that started the rebellion. The stock- ings were John Kearney’s gift. Hoard- ed jealously since last Christmas. As she had hoarded each of the six other' | pairs, each of the other six years. John, * a Connecticut avenue business man, always gave her stockings for Christ- mas. And he had no more idea about | values than a cat. He was just like every other man, Ruth had decided ately. He thought price tag decided everything. If you paid enough, you‘ were bound to get something good. | 80 he paid $3.50 for & pair of chiffon hose and forgot about them directly his secretary had thanked him for the t. ‘ulnvlrhbly the stockings lasted less than s week. And just as invariably | she caught a stubborn, dreary head cold, beginning Christmas week. And since the first year she had worked for John Kearney the brace of woes be- eame a trio when the calendar crept up to the week before Christmas. The Christmas list. John Kearney's rela- tives. “Hullo,” said t * % X X THER.E were 24 of them, and dur- ing the seven years she had been his private secretary Ruth Logan had learned to know them all by heart, though she had never seen but one of them. The great-aunt who made love- 1y braided rugs and tatted and had nine Persian cats, all blue-ribbon win- pers. Aunt Lavinia, who loved poetry . and played Chopin and Mozart and Bach on & mellowed rosewood piano. Grandma Bascom, whose vigorous, blunt, outspokenness was the delight, and at the same time terror, of her grandsons and nephews. The shy, sweet country cousin who was a music teacher in a distant Wisconsin village, and the nephew who was a gallant sel- dier of fortune, a mining engineer in far-off South America. “Look,” he said, when it came Ohristmas week, “here’s & list—could you take an hour or so off each day this week and get each of them some- thing? Not too expensive, mind!” Me always left a substantial check with the list, and made a slightly con- fused effort at helping out with sug- gestions. * ok x % Rm took the list and the check, ‘went to the bank, and, armed with money, fought her desperate, high above this icy slush, snug from the raw, biting winds, the stale, sticky alf of the big stores, the battering as- saplt of the mob of shoppers.

And she budgeted these through the year so that she had no last minute, fran- | tic rush at holiday time. * o ok RUTH bowed her head on folded arms and felt hot tears stinging her tired eyes.

He | could buy his own presents. Then the door banged open with & breezy force and a tall, lean, sun- bronzed young man with hair bleached platinum white above piercingly blue | eyes strode toward her desk. “Hullo,” said the young giant, ‘“you're Ruth Logan, aren’t you? I'm Kerry Holmes—is my Uncle Jack in?” Ruth stood up shakily to lead him into John Kearney's office, but at that moment he came through the door, pausing abruptly at sight of her red nose and pink eyes. “Ruth!” John stammered, uneasily. “You . .. you're crying! You . . . see here, Kerry, have you n an- noying my secretary with your wild, barbarian, South American jungle ways?” * %k x “ME?" KERRY grinned, disarm- ingly. “Should say not! But I'm going to, Uncle Jack. Until she promises to have dinner with me, and then spend the rest of the week show- ing me the sights in my old home town. How about it, Ruth?” Gratefully, eagerly, Ruth reached for her purse and gloves. This was heaven-sent respite. This was escape from that Christmas-list bugbear! Let John Kearney buy his own presents! Let him worry about his own relatives. Here was youth, romance, adventure. And the handsomest male she had ever set eyes on in all her 25 years. Fully as handsome as John Kearney himself! “But, Ruth . .. we . .. that is . nu.umng pnlnmlly. “Yes?” Ruth said, gently, suddenly sorry, surprisingly gentle, now that she had burned her bridges behind her, “Yes, Mr. Kearney?” “I . .. wanted you to have supper with me” John blurted, and then sighed, “but I daresay you'll have more fun with Kerry. He's had ad- venture, excitement to share with you. T've . .. just had this office!” “Look here, Uncle Jack,” Kerry be- gan uneasily, “am I’ are you and Ruth . . . that is, she isn't the girl you've been writing me about?

As & member of the woodpecker family, it naturally is in- dustrious and & famous drummer. It is & friendly little bird, always seek- ing atter the insects hidden under the bark of trees, and its rolling tattoo is not for mere practice in its band, but an alarm clock for the hidden grub that is out of sight. Watch downy when he is drum- ming. See how intently he listens by cocking his head slightly toward the place he has just been knocking upon. Surely he hears the grub turn in its fright or sleep, and in jiffy he is after the fellow. ‘The number of fat grubs this hunter can rout and consume would astonish you. Perhaps, under his black and | white uniform, could you become so very intimate as to investigate this matter, you would realize what a | plump little rascal the downy is, and that would account for his energy, as well as happy disposition. There are five cousins of the downy | to be found scattered over tempergte | North America. Al of them are ar- dent grub hunters. They are very fond of insect eggs, too. Perhaps you know this little fellow by the name of Tommy Woodpecker or the Black and White Driller. He | is about 62 inches long and always | dressed in s handsome suit of black with a white shirt and a few white | dots scattered over his glossy uni- | form. There is a broad center stripe of white down his back. There is a saucy touch of red on his crown. His wife and sisters have white on theirs and this is how you tell them apart. The open woodlands, or even where there are maple trees along the streets, are the joyous hunting grounds of these busy drillers. Old trees that have been hollowed | out are ideal spots for their nests to of chips will be placed the white eggs, four to six of them. In the Winter, when sleet and ice covers the bark of the tree, place suet |or seeds for your little neighbors. They | appreclate such thoughtfulness, I as- sure you. (Copyrisht, 1936.) Bram wazzlers BY PROF. J. D. FLINT. 'HE desk sergeant picked up the telephone after the second ring. He listened attentively and after a | minute or two said, “O. K.” and hung up. The sergeant then called Detective | Sergt. Smith and gave him details of the case. Smith muttered about go- | left headquarters. He sloshed through the mud, 30 minutes later, up to the | door of a university sorority house. Smith removed his raincoat and rub- bers in the small spotless corridor leading to the parlor. He then walked in, presented his credentials and asked | to see the safe which had been robbed. | He looked over the scene of the crime | with the house manager and the house boy, who were in the room and noticed a button on the floor about 8 feet from the safe. He pocketed the button, ex- amined the interior of the safe, and then called several of the house resi- | dents for questioning. He found that all residents had been on the upper floors since evening meal time. The only persons on the main floor were the house manager and & house boy. | These two were questioned by Smith. | Neither of them had lost a button, the house boy said he had discovered the robbery on his return from the drug store about half an hour before, when he had heard a “clang” such as might be made by a safe door, and ran in to investigate. The house man- ager claimed to have run into the room right after the house boy did. They both said they had been in the room from the time the robbery was dis- covered. Smith arrested the two for the robbery. Why?
