PETER RABBITS GLAD SURPRISE.
(By Thornton w. Burgess !

ley Thornton W. BurgesS.)
Copyright. 1914. by J. G. Lloyd.)
Ut had been many days since any
of the little people of the Green For
est had seen or heard anything of Mrs.
Grouse and all but two or three had
made up their minds that Sammy Jay
was right and that Farmer Browns
hoy really had killed her and eaten
her for his dinner. Tommy Tit the
Chickadee didn't believe it. Chatterer
the Red Squirrel remembered how he
had been kept prisoner and treated
ever so kindly by Farmer Browns boy
and he didn't quite believe it. Any
way. he had hope that it wasn't so.
Peter Rabbit tried not to believe it.
But AS one day followed another Pc
ters doubts grew until at last he felt
that he almost had to be believe 1t.
Now all this time Jack Frost had
stayed in the Green Forest and on the
Green Meadows and kept the icy crust
he had made over the snow as hard
as ever. which. Of course, made it
tlreadfully hard for the little people
who live there and must eat to get
enough food. They were hungry most
of the time and had to spend every
minute that they were awake in hunt
ing for food. Only those who sleep
most Of the winter didn't mind. But

a great thick branch Of hemlock
tree. and they looked. they certainly
looked very much like the snowshoe
tracks Of Mrs Grouse.
Peter felt as IL he must be dream
ing. He stared and stared and stared.
Whats the matter with you. Peter
Rabbit? Didn't you ever see my snow
shoe tracks before?" said a voice from
under the hemlock tree. And then
Mrs. Grouse walked out right in front
Of Peter.
Peters big eyes opened wider. than

cried.
"Of course it is me! Who else
should it be Is there anybody else
who looks like me in the Green For
est?" asked Mrs. Grouse.
"No-o." replied Peter slowly, as II

And you believed it, snapped
Mrs. Grouse. II should think that
