STRANGE TRACKS IN THE GREEN
FOREST.
Ely Thornton ". Burgess,

t~C'npNrisht. 1911. by j. G.. Lloyd.)
There were strange tracks deep in
the Green Forest. OF course it was
Peter Rabbit who found them first.
Mono but Peter or some one with cur
iosity. as great as his you'd ever have
been wandering about SO deep in the
Green Forest at thai time OF year.
il had popped into Feter's head one
day that he would like to see how
that part of the Green Forest way in
deep at the very foot of the mountain
ooked when everything was covered
with snow. SO off he started. lipperty-
lippertS-lip, AS fast as he could so.
The farther in he got tho fewer lit
tie people he saw and the fewer tracks
to show that others had been there.
BY and by he saw no tracks at all. 1t
was very, very, still in the great white
woods. Sc still that. it seemed to Fc-
ter that he could actually feel the
stiffness. 1t gave him a creepy, lone
some feeling. The farther he went the
more h g creepy. lonesome feeling
grew. Two or three. times he almost
decided 10 turn back. but each ,i,no
his curiosity drove him or.

So Peter went on. but every two nr
three hops he stopped to sit up and
o and listen. 1t was SO still in tho
great white woods that he could hear |
his own heart beat. and that creepy
had grown until if he had
heard Ven a tiny noise he would have
jumped out of his skin. He had just
about decided that no one ever came
off there so deep in the Green
Forest in the winter. and had about
to turn back, when he saw
just ahead Of him. 1t look
ed as il some one had brushed the
off the lower branches of the
hemlock trees in passing. Peter hop
ped over there. And then he saw the
tracks,
At first Peter thought that they had
been made by Farmer Browns boy
because they were so big. He stared
and stared at them. They looked
like the tracks Farmer
boy left i'll the mud around
the Smiling Pool when he went in
in the summer. but Peter

went barefoot in winter.

long left ear: with his long right, hind.
