Little Bedtime Stories
PETER RABBIT TELLS HIS
STORY.
(By Thornon w. Burgess.)
Copyright, 1914, by j. G. Lloyd.)

When Peter Rabbit could get his
breath after his long, hard run from,
the Green Forest to the dear old Brier
Patch he had a wonderful story to
tell. 1t was all about a stranger in
the Green Forest, and to have heard
Peter tell about it you would have
thought, as Mrs. Peter did, that 1t
was a very terrible stranger, for it
had nc legs and it had no head and
it had no tail. At least that is what
Peter said.
You see. it was this way" declar-
ed Peter. Il had stopped longer than
I meant to in the Green Forest, for
you know, my dear, l always try to
be home by the time jolly, round, red
Mr.. Sun gets out OF bed and Old
Mother West Wind gets down on the
Green Meadows" Mrs. Peter nodded.
But somehow time slipped away
Sun got up earlier than usual,' con-
tinued Peter. Then he stopped. That
last idea was a new one. and it struck
Peter as a good one. II do believe
that that Is just what happened-Mr.
Sun must have made a mistake and
crawled out of bed earlier than u.s.
ual!" he cried. -
Mrs. Peter looked as if she very
much doubted it, but she didn't say
anything, and so Peter Went on with
his story.
"I had just realized how light it
was and had started for home, hurry
ing with all my might, when 1 heard
a little noise at the top of the hill
where Prickly Perky the Porcupine
lives. OF course I thought it was
Prickly himself starting out for his
breakfast, and I looked up with my
mouth open to say hello. But I didn't
say hello. No. sir, I didn't say a
starting down the hill straight to-
wards me, was the most dreadful Gre
ture that eve has been seen in the
Green Forest! 1t didn't have any legs
and it didn't have my head and it
didn't have any tail, and it was COM
ing straight after me so fast that
