STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Peter Rabbit Comes Home
Just in Time.
Nv Thornton w. burgess.
Copyright. 1913. by J. G. Lloyd.I
Worrying is foolishness:
It's not a bit of use,
1t only makes one miserable,
For which there's no excuse.

Peter Rabbit was very fond Of saying
this. He believed it. too, for. as every
one knows, Peter is one of the most
happy-go-lucky Of all the little meadow
and forest people. So he left all the
worrying about their babies in the nur-
sery in the old briarpatch to Mrs. Peter
who did enough for two. He used to
laugh at her for her fears and teease
her TO go with him to hunt for sweet
clover and other goodies just as she used
to do before there were any babies. say
ing that no harm could possibly come to
them in their nursery in the sweet briar
clump in the very middle of the old
briarpatch.
But little Mrs. Peter was too good a
mother to go very far from her babies.
and If she did go she was SO anxious all
the time that she couldn't eat and was
always sure that something dreadful was
happening at home, so that after while
Peter stopped asking her to go and went
alone OF course little Mrs. Peter had
to eat. so sometimes when Peter was at
home she would slip out hurriedly to the
nearest sweet clover patch while Peter
took care of the babies. She was sell
dom gone long and usually Peter took
a nap close by the nursery.
One morning little Mrs. Peter had left
Peter to keep watch while she got her
breakfast Peter didn't feel like a nap
that morning and got to thinking about
a new path he was planning to cut in
the upper end of the old briarpatch.
ITS all foolishness my staying here
thought Peter. II believe I'll just hop
over and have a look at that place where

gone but few minutes"
So he looked at the four babies to make
sure that they were all right and away
