Thercfore 1 waited tensely, eagerly, for her explana- tion. “J mean,” she sald at last, “that there's something very queer about that girl and that man and woman she calls her uncle and aunt.” | She paused and looked at me signiticantly, and I recalled a fleet- ing doubt I had had of the relation- ship which the -beautiful young chatelaine of The Larches proclaim- ed betwcen herselt, the last word in exquisite, earvefully-reared girlhood. ang the wuncouth old man and shadowy invalid whom she called her *“uncle Henry” and ‘“aunt Anma.” | “You do not think they are re- ed to her?” I asked. “Well if I'm her grandmother and | Jerry’s her twin brother, then those two are her relations,” my neigh- bor declared with emphasis. “Now, | mind you, I don't believe there's a | mite of harm in that girl.

But now he was dis- | covering that his troubles were not over by any means. You see, when he first got safely onto the bank he sat down to rest. | He had struggled so hard there in the water that he felt now as if he | Just must sit quietly for a while. But | Peter was a wet rabbit. My good nesm, what & wet rabbit Peter was And it was a cold day. Peter's teeth | chattered as they had never chat- | tered before. He shook all over with | the cold, and almost at once he be- gan to feel stiff. He just had to meve. 80 he hopped mon(u!ov\ ly and he kcn feeling colder and colder and | and more miserable.

And so he kept hopping more and more slowly, because ho had made bimself think he was too | miserable to hop any faster. Ye sir, that was just the way of it. The | result was that Peter peally was in, a very bad way. He was in real| danger of being frozen to death he been dry he would have hee right. But, as you know, he anything but dry. He had gone only a little way when he stopped to rest and pity himself. As he sat there shivering and shaking and pitying himself the sharp voice of Sammy Jay rang out on the frosty air. Sammy Ja not far away. Sammy ing, and what he was screaming “Thief! Thicf! Thief!" Peter pric ®d up his ears. When Sammy screams “Thicf”! it is well to prick up onc's cars. Peter knew that San my was watching some one and t that some one was Old Man Sammy has a certain p: v of screaming “Thief!"” when he see Old Man Coyote. Peter's heart gave a bound. This was no place for him, with Old Man Coyote anywhere near. The bound of Peter's heart kept right on down 10 his hecls and they bounded too. Away went Pete getting that he was cold and tired and stiff. He had 1o reom for thought of ing but 01d Man Coyote. “He'll find my trail as sure as the world!” thought Peter. “T've got to get to a place of safety befors he can eatch me.” Looking back over his shoulder 2 few minutes later, Peter discovercd nis worst fears realized.

Experiments just announced by Drs. Katharine H. Coward and P. Eggieton of the department of physiology and biochemistry of the University of London indicate that therc is & acasonal variation in the growth-promcting properties of the watercress. = Spinach is richer in vitamin D in the summer than it is in winter. The same is true of watercress. Summer watercreas is a “remark- ably rich source of|vitamin A and contains a goodly amount of vita- min D. Vitamin C {s the anti-scurvy vitamin. When animals fall to recelve adequate amounts of vitamin C they develop symptoms of scurvy in from 13 to 16 days. The British investigators found that a feediag of watercress shoots would successfully protect the animals against the opset of scurvy. Thus the watercress, which is considered by restaurateurs and by most of their patrons as mercly a sort of handsome decorative substance to be served as a gar- nish on orders of meat, is found to be exceedingly valuable be- cause of its content of vitamins.
