e AP Loves Awakening Steadfast Woman By Adele Garrison Latien’s Scorching Letter o Mr. Brixton Mects With Katherine's Approval As Lillian went to her desk to draft the note to Samuel Brixton, Katherine and I exchanged glances of pitying comprehension of our friend’s problem, and then wnned; silently while she wrote awiftly, stopping only accasionally to cross out a word. Finally she swung around facing us, the sheets of note paper in her hand. “I can’t be hypocritical with that man,” she said with a defiant note in her voice. “I don't want to s kim and I'm not going to pretend I do. But I cant refuse to see | him both for his wife’s sake and tor Marion's—although I'm mighty doubtful that this means any bene- tit to Marion.” The paper rustled in her hand as she involuntarily tightened her clutch upon it, and I knew she was thinking of the premonition of | something malign which had con to her with the receipt of the le t-l ter. I did not want her to dwell on that phase, and I Interrupted her saucily. “Let's hear the names you called him. They ought to be intercsting.” “I didn't dare put them down, she retorted with a faint grin. “They'd have scorched the paper. All right. Here goes:—" She took up the letter and began to read while we listened instantly: “Mr. Samuel Brixton, “Cleveland, Ohio. “My dear Mr. Brixton: “I have read with amazement the letter which you have written me.

It was near the edge of the Green Forest. They had felt fairly safe there. Nevertheless they were two frightened little people. You sce, they had not yet recovered frem the fright given them by the family of Yowler the Bobcat “Yes, sir, said Peter Rabbit, “I've had enough of the Green Forest.

It was one of the private little paths that his cousin, Danny Mcadow Mouse, had made. Along this Whitefoot ran for a short distance, but the farther he got from the Green Forest the | more frightened he became, He stopped. He couldn’t make up his mind whether to go on or to go back. There he &at, his little heart going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat. Suddenly he felt terribly lonesome, He looked up at the sky. Something that scemed like a moving shadow rassed not very high above the tops of the grasses.
