for news themselves. Peter had never
been SO happy in his life.
Now with SO much to think about
Peter grew careless and needless. He
was hurrying through IL dark and
lonesome part of the Green Forest
the ground. Then he saw three or
four more. They We're very curious
little balls. Peter had to stop and
see what they We're, for you know
Peter is very, Very curious. They
were at the bottom of a tall pine
tree. Peter hoped over to the first
one. That little ball was made of fur
and tiny pieces of bones. Peter felt
8. queer feeling creep up his back
zone; Then he hopped over to anoth-
er. This was of feathers and bones.
Peter felt still more queer. What
could they mean and Where had they
come from? lie looked up in the pine
tree and then Peter almost. tainted
from fright! There sat Hooty the
Owl beside A rough bundle OF sticks.
Peter had found Hooty's home.
Peter sat perfectly still and held
his breath. but his heart Went pitapat
ting perfectly still was just the best
thing he could have done. Hooty
didn't move. Neither did Peter. Aft
or a while Peter stopped shaking in
side. If Hooty had seen him Hooty
would have tried to catch him before
this. 1t must hc-ycs. it was that
Hooty was asleep. Peter held his
breath and tip-toed away two OF three
steps. Hooty didn't move. Peter
tried it again. Still Hooty didn't move.
Then Peter crept n little farther.
Hooty still slept. At last Peter was
far enough to run. And how he did
run! No frightened rabbit ever ran
faster!
Peter was SO frightened that he
kept watching behind him instead Of
looking to SEQ where he was going.
The result Was he almost ran into
Jimmy Skunk. who was out looking
for beetles for his breakfast.
Whats the matter with you now,
Peter Rabbit?!" asked Jimmy Skunk.
Peter shivered and his teeth chat
tered SO with fright that he couldn't
speak. He Just pointed back in the
direction from which he had come
and then started on again for the old
briar patch. lipperty-lipperty- lip!
Peter Rabbits afraid Of his own
shadow grumbled Jimmy Skunk,
who isn't afraid Of much of anything.
Now. I wonder what has frightened
him this time. I believe LII just have
to see"
So Jimmy Skunk started off in the
direction from which Peter Rabbit

couldn't go making the calls he SO
dearly likes to make, and il he could
not make the calls why he couldn't
gossip. and that would be a terrible
thing to Peter Rabbit.
So Peter was one of the busiest of
all the little meadow and forest peo-
pie. He hardly had time to eat. In
the first place there We're so many of
his feathered friends returning from
the south. There We're new arrivals

Forest. Just as he was the first one
to greet Winsome the Bluebird 81 he
was the first to hear the glad song
Of Little Friend the Song Sparrow and
Redwing the Blackbird. and Bubbling
Bob the Bobolink. OF course, they
all had news for him and. of course.
Peter had to hurry around and tell
the news to Johnny Chuck and JIM

Hark the robin's7carly song!
Telling one and all that now
Merry springtinle hastes along;
welcome ttdings dost thou bring,
Little harbinger of spring;

weary OF the frost and snow;
Longing for the sunshine CHEEKY.

Gladly then we hear thee sing
The joyful reveille of spring;

Ring it out DER hill and plain,
Through the gardens lonely bowers.
Till the green leaves dance again.
TIL the air is sweet with flowers!
Wake the cowslips by the rill!
Wake the yellow daffodil;.
Robins come.
Then. as thou vert wont of wore.
Build thy nest and rear thy young
Close beside u cottage door,
In the Woodhine leaves
Hurt or harm thou need'st not fear.
Nothing rude shall venture near.
Robins come.
Singing still in yonder lane,
Robins answer merrily;
ttavished by the glad refrain, :.
Alice claps her hands in glee,
Calling from the open door,
With her soft voice DER and DER. "
