ture so much better thar he did. and
all the little paths in it, that she had
very little trouble in keeping out of
his way. Then, too. she was very busy.
You see it was she who was keeping
her cross old father, old Jed Thumper,
away from Peter because she was so
sorry for him. But Peter didn't know
that. If he had l am afraid that he
would have been more in love than
ever.
The harder she was to find the more
Peter wanted to find her. He spent a
great deal Of time each day. brush
ing his coat and making himself look
as fine as he could, and while he was
doing 1t he kept wishing over and
over again that something would hap
pen so that he could show little Miss
Fuzzytail what a smart, brave fellow
he really was. But one day followed
another and Peter seemed no neare
to meeting little Miss Fuzzytail than
ever. He was thinking of this and
was really growing very down-heart-
ed n morning as he sat under a
friendly bramble bush, when sudden
ly there was a sharp little scream of
fright from behind a little juniper
tree.
Somehow Peter knew whose voice
that was. although he never had
heard it before. He. sprang around
LAG AAlI1c juniper llec dIlU what ne
saw filled Peter with such rage that
he didn't stop once to. think of him
self. There was little Miss Fuzzytail
/ n the clutches of Black Pussy. one of
Farmer Browns cats, who often stole
away from home to hunt in the Old
Pasture. Like a flash Peter sprang
over Black Pussy, and as he did SO,
he kicked with all his might. Tho
cat hadn't seen him coming and the
kick knocked her right into the
prickly Juniper tree. OF course she
lost her grip on little Miss Fuzzytail,
who hadn't been hurt sc much as
frightened. BY the time the cat
could get out of the Juniper tree.
Peter and little Miss Fuzzytail were
sitting. side by side safe In the middle
of>a bull briar patch.
oh. how brave you are!" sobbed
Miss Fuzzytail.
And this is the way Peter Rabbit
at last got his hearts desire.

A VERY ANCIENT TUNE.

It Is Also Probably the Nest Popular
One In3the World.
Perhaps the most firmly established
popular song in the world is the air IA
miIiar to Americans as I'VE Won't &C
Home Till Morning." The origin of the
tune is obscure, but Louis Elson be-
lieves that the music was composed
as love song in the tenth century OF
, earlier by one of the troubadours, the
wandering minstrels of southern
France. Chateaubriand, the French
writer, heard it sung by the Arabs, and
he suggested that it might have been
carried to the orient by the French cru.
saders.
1t was certainly sung by the French
soldiers during the war in which the
first Duke of Marlborough won his
fame. 1t was the lullaby of the baby
son of Marie Antoinette. 1t became one
of the most popular songs of the
French revolution. Napoleon whistled
and sang it throughout his life. Beetho
ven used it as one of the themes of bis
Battle Symphony"
It has been for more than a century
one of the most popular street songs in
Europe. And there is probably not a
ten-year-old boy or girl in America who
does not know the tune.
The French words, beginning "Mal
brook sen va-t-en guerre,'' were invent
ed by some forgotten French soldier
during the war of the Spanish success.
sion. They describe the supposed death
and funeral of the Duke Of Marlbor.
ough, which death, in the words OF
Father Prout, did not then take place
by some mistake" since 1.-The subject OF
the pathetic elegy was at the time Of its
composition, both alive and kicking al
before him."
The song had nearly died out in
France when Marie Antoinette caught
it up from the peasant nurse she haC
employed for her baby; thereupon il
spread rapidly, as songs do In France
Beaumarchais introduced it into THE
Marriage Of Figaro" and it was used
by the red republicans for incendiary
purposes Of their own.
Several sets of words have been sung
to the tune in the course of its history.
and it has itself undergone some modi-
tications. But its identity is clear
through all the changes. Probably it is
familiar to a greater number of people
at the present time than any other tune
in the world.-Youth's Companion.

soon as passengers entered the cars
and before the fares were actually col

he represented the plaintiff in damage

the company was the conductor Of the
car on which the accident. occurred,
and his testimony was so strong as to
make things look bad for Buffers eli

rule he bad remarked years before, and
on cross examination he said:
"Your company requires you to ring
the car, doesn't it?"
"Yes."
Suppose passenger boards your
car and then finds he is on the wrong

Spanish Mutton.n

Dog meat, we learn from the Frank
furter Zeitung, is largely sold in Ger
many, and more especially in Saxony
but rarely under it's own name. Trad
ers describe it as Spanish mutton, and
their customers are less chary of ask
ing for it.
Catfish in England is treated in the
same euphemistic way. There was a
time when this fish was never seen in
the shops. Then some fishmongering
genius invented the name Of "rock
salmon" and bestowed it upon the
despised catfish, which now has an. es-
tablished place in the market.-London
