the orchard, hundreds of voices took
up the cry:
MOLLY Cottontail, Molly Cottontail!"
The sound grew louder and louder, un-
til at last a sprightly brown hare
bounded out into the orchard, her lit
tie white tail showing plainly in the
young light of the moon. Instantly she
was surrounded by rabbits, wild ones
and tame ones, all crowding and push
ing and asking questions.
Nov, do be STILL said Molly Cot
tontail, land stop pushing"
But Molly, Molly Cottontail, tell us
about the hens" shrieked a small mall
tese rabbit, which Buster recognized
as belonging to Teddie Smith of the
next farm.
THE hens, my dear Bluette, are all
standing on one leg, sound asleep,
with their heads under their wings,
dreaming. Even the rooster is quiet
at last"
"Then we can go now?" was the ex-
cited question.
YES" answered Molly Cottontail,

dies"
In a moment every little rabbit was
whisked into line, and away they went,
hopping and humping down the hill
and into the henhouse door.
Several minutes passed, and the
children talked together in awed
tones and then a little brown head
peeped out of the henhouse, and an
other, and another, and at last the line
was again formed, and they started up
hill.

diers and Little Sister with her doll,
when across the lawn little white
figure came hopping, hopping.
'Bunnikins is out again." remarked
Buster
1t was one of Bunnikins favorite
pastimes to push open the door of his
house and take nightly rambles, and
as he did no great harm, he was al
lowed to do as he pleased
Instead of going straight for the gar
den as usual Bunnikins came up
close to the porch, and then the two
children heard a small, wee whisper
"Come on and find out about the
Easter eggs"
WHAT" asked Buster, loudly.
And, "What?" said Little Sister, in
a timid, tiny voice.
Come on and find out about the
Easter eggs" repeated the small voice
and then they saw that it was Bun
nikins who was speaking.
But began Buster, but Bunnl-
kins was hopping away from them so
rapidly that Buster, full of curiosity,
took Little Sister by the hand, and
away they ran after the rabbit.
Down the garden path they went
and up the hill beyond, and into the
orchard The peach trees were show
ing their small pink buds, and the
grass was green and tender. Under
gray old appletrees Bunnikins stopped.

said, 81 will show you where the East

So they shared it. Buster and Lit

year-old wisdom, had his doubts.
"Wabbits' eggs" went on Little Sis
ter continuing the interrupted argu-
ment. Her face had acquired by this
time a mustache of yellow, which gave
her a rakish air.
Who told your" asked Buster, I'M
believing still.
Uncle Fwed. An when the little
wabbits want to get out they jus stick
their ears up, and the shells go Pop
Little Sister illustrated dramatically
with clap of her hands.
Huh" said Buster, they just don't.
Bunnikins never laid an egg in his
life"
Bunnikins was the childrens pet rab-
bit.
Let's go and show him our eggs"
suggested Little Sister
So they went down the steps and
across the green lawn to the edge of
the garden, where Bunnikins lived In
a very comfortable little house.
Bunnikins was eating some very
green and very tender lettuce, but as
the children approached he hunched
himself socially up to the side of his
hutch, working his little nose with an
inquiring air.
Little Sister took the notified egg out
of her basket and held it up. Look,
Bunnikins," she said. Bunnikins look

bit?" asked Molly Cottontail OF an OLD
gray rabbit
"All ready" announced Mrs. jack
rabbit. and she led the way to an old
iron kettle that had stood in the or
chard for years. 1t was full of cold
water. and there was a board set up
against it, and up this the rabbits
pushed the eggs. and dropped them
very carefully into the water. When
all were in they lighted the sticks I'M
der the kettle, and then they sat down
to wait.
Bunnikins came over to Buster and
Little Sister. The eggs were bobbling
up and down in the kettle, and the
steam was rising.
"I am afraid YOU won't be able to
stay. We have to let them cool before
we dare go up the sides of the kettle,
and then we have to dip the water out,
or we should all be drowned. 1t is
rather dangerous business, he added.
"Why can't / take them out for

II didn't know you could talk, Bun

There are a great many things you
don't know, Buster said Bunnikins,
and Buster felt very ignorant indeed
Rabbits can speak from in the
evening until midnight of the night
before Easter Sunday" continued Bum
nikins, "but as rule they don't take
the trouble
While Bunnikins talked there was
rustling in the dried grasses along the
edge of the fence. Once or twice the
children thought they saw a flash of
white. Bunnikins left them and went
over to the fence, and soon he came
over with a large Belgian hare. The
two seemed to argue about something
but at last Bunnikins came back to
the children.
You can stay" he said. "Only don't

Then again he went away, and they
heard his voice calling:

times for days / don't have anything
but dry bread, and if it had not been

and unlocked my doos, l should not be

Buster and Little Sister listened SYM

There is my four pennies in my
bank. Tan't l buy her?"
Buster thought of a cherished quar-
ter, saved for a fishing line, but he
knew Little Sisters four cents were
just as precious to the little girl
"Ill buy her. he said.
Then he spoke to Soft Paws. do you
think Master Vanderyoort would sell
you for a quarter" he said. You
could live with Binnikins, and we real
ly feed him very well and he comes
and goes when he likes
"O," said little Soft Paws rapturous-
ly. Her big brown eyes were moist
with tears and she trembled with joy.
BY this time most of the eggs were
painted and they lay in great brilliant
piles, of pink and violet and yellow and

Then again the funny procession was
formed, and each rabbit began to roll
a bright egg down the hill.
Soft Paws was near the end of the
line She looked at Little Sister and
Buster with grateful, beseeching eyes,
and Little Sister threw her a kiss.

she cried.
When the rabbits reached the long,
white road, the children could see them
rolling, rolling. the young rabbits
having great sport, and the older ones
proceeding with great solemnity.

there was a Shrek, and the sound of
a smash.
Molly Colonial has broken her
green egg" shouted Mr.. Jackrabbit.
20, Molly, Molly Colonial" laughed
all the rabbits, and Bunnikins rolled
another green one down to her, and the
procession again started.
But the last sound the children heard
was laughter, and the Molly, Molly

not good to you"
So several rabbits went in the direc-
ton of Master Vandervoort's garden,
while others brought ferns, and violets,
and arbutus and dandelions. These
were arranged in piles, and four rab-
bits, each with brush and palette,
grouped themselves about each pile,
and began to paint the eggs at great
rate.
When Soft Paws came back with the
tulips, she sat near Bl,pter and Little
Sister, and they watched her put on
the red color with broad, sure strokes

Bunnikins lifted listening ear.

Now, what does he mean by that? ?"
said Buster.

woman, triumphantly, Uncle Fwed

But after that third wink they could
get nothing out of Bunnikins, for he
went back to eat a small and yellow
carrot, and would pay no attention to
them.
That evening. however, just at dusk,

What is the best telephoned city in
the world? San Francisco seems TO be
the answer. In that city. with a popu-
lation OF 342,7S2, there are 21,324 tele-
phones, or siXty-two per thousand. In
Europe, Copenhagen is probably the
best telephOned city, with 1871 tele-
phones to its 312,S59 of population,
equal TO forty-nine per thousand. In
Copenhagen, too, the best conditions
for the public exist, although the rates
are relatively as high as those in Amer
lean cities. London compares very un-
favorably with these figures. At the
beginning of this year there were Al,
Ill telephones to a population of more
than 100000, or n proportion Of sew
en- to every thousand people. New
York, with a population of 2,350,000,
had 54,G47 instruments, or twenty-six
to thousand.
