It would | have been another matter altogether had it come before she reached the Old Briar-patch. Neither Peter nor Meadows, a little way out from the | dear Old Briar-patch. She had ap- | proached by circling around and then | coming up back of the Old Briar- | patch. Now, flattened on the ground, | she peeped around the end of the Briar-patch and prepared to get be- tween it and the two she was hunt- ing. She was sure that she would catch one of them, anyway. If she was very lucky, she might catch both, “I guess they have forgotten where they are,” she said to herself. “They have forgotten that they are right out on the open. I won't be sur- prised if I can get close to them be- PETER INSTANTLY SAT UP TO HIS FULL HEIGHT AND LOOKED OVER TO THE DEAR OLD BRIAR-PATCH.

How very lucky. Im glad Sammy Jay isn't around to give them warning. He would like nothing better than to spoil this hunt of mine. Blacky the Crow would do the same thing if he were about, but I heard him over in the Green Forest t as I started out. So ther is ne to give Peter and Johnny warning.” Mrs. Reddy had accused Peter and v of being forgetful, but she was no less forgetful. She rgoten Mrs. Peter Rabbit. , she had completely forgot- ten tle Mrs. Peter. So in Was Mrs. Reddy in watching Peter and Johnny that she never once thought to look in the Old Briar-patch to see if there was any one in there. That was where she made a mistake. 8he found it out j e turned the end of the atch. From just inside mp. It startled her, be see, it was so wholly une: he didn't Johnny could get back there now | without passing her. | When Peter had heard that first ! | warning thump his heart had seemed | to jump right up in his throat. It was a danger signal, was that thump. You see, Peter and Mrs. Peter have | several kinds of thumps for signal- | ing to each other. This thump | meant danger, immediate danger. Peter instantly sat up to his !ull} height and looked over to the dear Old Briar-patch. At once the red | coat of Mrs. Reddy caught his atte) tion as she flattened herself on the ground. The color of that coat was | enough to tell Peter what the danger was. It might be Reddy Fox, or it might be Mrs. Reddy, but it really | made no difference which it was, from Peter’s point of view Was Peter frightened? Of course He realized instantly his foolishness in going so far from the dear Old Briar-patch. He saw at a glance how he and Johnny Chuck had been trapped by Mrs. Reddy. Unless he could successfully dodge Mrs. Reddy, and that was doubtful in the ex- treme, he couldn't possibly get to the dear Old Briar-patch. It looked much, very much, as if there was nothing for him to do but take to his heels and trust to his speed and ability to dodge to get him across | the Green Meadows to the Green Forest, the Old Pasture or the Old Stonewall on the edge of the Old | Orchard. The distance to any of | these was so great that Peter's heart sank. Then he remembered one of | Johnny Chuck’'s old houses that was nearer. He would try for that | (Copyright, 10872 | |STEEL PROCESS PIONEER | | DIES AT HUNTINGTON BY tlie Associated Press HUNTINGTON, W. Va, March 22 | —william E.

Brain Twizzlers BY PROF. J. D. FLINT. VERY good puzzle is the one about switching freight cars on a rail- road. This puzzle has been very pop- ular and will be interesting even if you have done it before. ‘The problem is to reverse the order of the cars so that they number in or- der, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, on the main track instead of the order they now vote every time!” have. The locomotive, when you have finished, should be where it now is, on the side track. Every time the locomotive or a car is moved from the side track to the main track, or vice versa, & move is counted. The cars can move independently of the loco- motive. Car Jo. 8 is in position to allow number 7 to get to the side track if you wish. Can you do it in 26 moves? (Answer on Page B-12.) (Copyright, 1937.) —every meal.

They voted for the cactus, and as this plant and its rela- tives are real Americans, it is a very happy choice. This is & family you will not view with indifference. 1In fact, the family contains so many interesting members, that in a short time you may find vourself a collector. On account of the hardships endured for thousands of years by their ancestors, cacti have learned many ways of holding their own in spite of neglect. That is why 80 many have found it a delightful hobby, collecting cacti. They ask so little. Now one word of warning cacti produce very beautiful flowers, but they are so armed that it is a &ad day, indeed, for any one who, not knowing the family quirk, lays a violent hand upon the blossoms to pluck them. Indeed, the remainder of the day will be spent painfully picking out the tiny hairy thorns. The original tooth-pick factory and one that is still flourishing is the cactus family. The Indians must have been the first Americans to avail them- selves of the thorns for this purpose Cacti were the first plants actuaily to conserve the water supply of the desert. They knew better than to de- velop leaves. The pineapple form is the reservoir for this plant. In it is stored all the water it could hold, when the last rain fell. If there were leaves instead of thoris, the water would soon be gone, and you can see what type of land the cactus has selected for its home site. There are many other cacti to be found in New Mexico. There seems to be rivalry carried on among them as to which will be the most brilliantly colored.
