It; tho others all followed. My heart
ieaped with Joy as I went through the
opening in that fence. Alasl 1t leaped
more wildly with fear when I got beyond
1t and saw what 1t was. It was but the
opening into a corral-only trap-see the
cunningness of it? When got into 1t, the
rabbits were already piled up two or three
feet deep against the fence all around the
corral; those underneath were already
smothered to death. Many Of them lay
down In the corral and died with fright.
I stopped right in the middle Of 1t.
could feel my eyes bulging with terror.
1 stood there In kind of squatting pos
ture. every muscle quivering with fear,
and watched the people come up and look
over the fence at US. One of the marshals
called to the men to stand back and let
the ladies look at the rabbits. After they
had looked at US while man called
several times for the boys to bring their
clubs and get in and kill the rabbits.
I saw them begin to come IN through
the gate that had been closed behind Us.
And I knew, unless miracle should hap
pen, the end of Fuzzy Flun had come. I
thought Of the sweet little girl who had
cuddled me under her chin. Of the kind
hearted little boy who kept the dog from
killing me, and wondered why I had run
away from them
The boys and men who came In at the
gate had begun to kill the rabbits. The
fur was flying; the air was full Of 1t. All
at once I ran toward the fence and made
a wild jump at the top OF It. I struck IL
first at the top and fell back upon the pal
pitating heap of rabbits. I struggled to
nv feet: 1 felt a hand take me and lift
me over the fence A boy had me by the
hind legs He carried me out through the
crowd of people and out to where the
wagons were. He went to a carriage that
had several people in 1t. He held me up
before them and said he was going to
take me home. And then ! saw IL was
the same little boy I had been thinking
about And one Of the ladies in the car
riage was the very same one the little
golden-haired girl had called Aunt Jen-
She said to him, You can't take It home %
but he stood looking down at me and did
not move. Another said to him: "Kinit
and take 1t home to the dogs
He still stood and held me. 1t seemed to
me hundred years hoped he would
know me as did him and I wished had
never run away from his home Never
was rabbit in such suspense He held
me I'D and looked at me; I thought he
