Peter Rabbit Has a Bad Day,

Peter Rabbit always had rather en-
joyed being hunted by Bowser the
Hound. 1t was kind of game, and
one that he could end when he was
ready All he had to do was to run into
the dear Old Briar Patch when he got
tired. So when he heard Bowser's great
voice behind him and knew that Bowser
was following his tracks he used to kick
up his heels for sheer pleasure He had
felt the same way when he heard the
voice of strange dog this morning. He
didn't have the least doubt in the world
that he could fool that dog whenever he
pleased. Anyway, he could hide in that
Old Briar Patch.
So he had played a regular game of
hide and seek with the dog and had
been enjoying it until quite suddenly
and wholly Unexpectedly he had almost
run into man with a terrible gun.
There had been bang and Peter didn't
need to be told that he was a very lucky
rabbit to be still alive. Being hunted
by Bowser the Hound alone was one
thing, but being hunted by a man with
terrible gun was quite another matter.
When that terrible gun went off Peter
was SO frightened that for a few min
utes he just ran. Yes. sir, he just ran.
He was too frightened to think where
get away, away from that terrible gun.
! Then when he got over his first fright
he thought right away of the dear Old
Brar Patch and he made up his mind
that he would waste no time i'll getting
there. There he would be safe, absolute
ly safe. So he started for the Old Briar
Patch as fast as he could make his legs
go. y-lipperty y-lipperty-lip. he ran
in a great circle, SO as to come around
through the Green Forest in the direction
of the Old Briar Patch You see when
the terrible gun had been fired at him
he had been headed in the wrong direc-
ton.
| Now Peters scare had taught him one
/ thing if no more 1t had taught him
| TO watch in front we'll as behind He
couldn't afford to run blindly into that
! hunter again 1t was well that he had
| learned that lesson. Yes; indeed, 1t was
very, very fortunate. Just he was
almost to the edge of the Green Forest
| and getting ready to run his very hard
est across the Green Meadows to the
Old Briar Patch he caught sight Of
something suspicious ahead of him. 1t
was perfectly still. but Peter didn't re-
stopped short and sat up, is his way
to study that strange thing. Ha 1t
moved , 1t waS-yeS, it was the hunter
| with the terrible gun. 1t was quit
plain tina, he knew that Peter Ii, ed in
the old Briar Patch and had hurried
over to the edge of the Green Forest
to shoot Peter when he should try TO
! run across the open space to his home.

That meant that there was no use in
trying to get home now. He simply had
got to do his very best to fool that dog
barking along his trail and at the same
time to keep out of sight of that hunter.
So Peter set to work and tried every
trick which he knew. He ran in circles.
He criss-crossed his tracks. He ran
back on his own tracks and then made
long jump to one side. But that dog
was smart. 1t was quite clear that he
knew all about rabbits and their tricks
He wouldn't be fooled. Patiently he fol-
lowed with his nose in Peters tracks
and worked and worked until sooner or
later he had Peter running again
That was bad day for Peter He
never was quite sure where that hunter
might be waiting with his terrible gun.
and between trying to fool the dog and
at the same time keep out of the hunt
er's WAY he was driven almost crazy
At last he remembered an old trick with
which he had fooled Bowser the Hound
more than once. Perhaps it would work
on this dog. He would try it anyway.
So once more, with a little hope in his
heart. Peter ran, lipperty-lipperty-lip-
perty-lip.
