that he didn't see Redtail at all. Now.
Redtails eyes are very very sharp, and
looking down from high up in the blue
saw and more, too. He saw Peter Rah-
bit lodging this way and that way for
his life, with Reddy Fox right at his
heels. He saw Old Man Coyote and
Granny Fox hurrying up. and he felt
sure that when they got there Peter
wouldn't have the least chance In the
world. He would surely be caught by
one of them and that would be the end
of him. Right away Redtail made up
his mind that neither Reddy Fox nor
Granny Fox nor Old Man Coyote should
have Peter Rabbit If he could help It
Not that he meant to help Peter Oh,
my, no! The fact is. he meant to nave
Peter for his own dinner He had had
his eye on Peter for a long time, and he
had tried many times to catch him. but
always Peter had been too smart Tor
him. But now. with so many others 10
dodge, Peter wouldn't be watching up In
the sky. He would just watch mis-
chance and snatch Peter right out from
under the very noses of the others. 1t
would be great fun. for he had no love
for any of them. They hunted so much
on the Green Meadows that he some
times found It hard work to get enough
to eat and now he would get even with
them.
He sailed down, down out Of the blue.
blue sky almost to the tree tops and no
one saw him. Then. as Peter ran lip
place he closed his wings. and with his
great. cruel claws spread wide. he shot
down like a brown thunderbolt to seize
Peter Just as Granny Fox sprans out
from her hiding place and Reddy Fox
came tearing along at Peters heels. And.
like them, Redtail the Hawk was just a
wee. wee bit too late-Peter was safe

Just as brown. her eyes are just as

Boley's voice grew shrill with emphasis.
Little Mrs. Fame, who had left the
weekly meeting of the Ladies Aid So
ciety half an hour earlier than usual
because Jim would be home early for
dinner, slipped silently out of the yes
try and buttoned her coat outside.
There was curious light in her
rather faded blue eyes. Fifteen years
The curious light became bitter. The
years may have left Berta Loomis
uuscathed but they had left plain
inlprints on Julia Fame, She looked
as old as she felt. and that was very
old. indeed But she was not too old
nor too tired TO shrink from having
jam compare her with Bcrta- She
wished that she could go away-keep
out of sight-anything to ward off
that hateful comparison
Wishing. however. was foolish and
futiIe She quit it presently and de-
cided that Tuesday evening would be
the best for having Berta to dinner.

fig cake That wouldn't be very ex-
pensive. Anyway. It wouldn't look
cheap. The red fiared weakly in her
faded cheeks. She didn't want Berta
LOOMS to guess just how much
stretching Jims salary required.
Fifteen years before Berta had
weighed Jims salary-bookkeepers
don't get any princely stipend-and
had told him that she loved him. but
not enough to marry him and skimp
with him. And she returned his sap
phire and pearl engagement ring. Jim
protested later to Julia that it was a
lucky day for him. Julia came to
town a month later to teach the sixth
grade. and Jim at first sight of her
pretty white face seemed TO recover
narvelously from his desolation over
Berta's departure for New York. Julia
loved him enough to be very willing
TO believe him. They We're married.
Berta. financed by an uncle, studied
designing. went abroad. came back to
New York and earned a very large
income-so report drifted back-tell-
ing less informed people how to fur
nish their homes. Now she had come
back to her home town for a few
weeks stay. She was lonesome. Julia
heard some one say, for old friends.

Redtail the Hawk was lazily sailing
round and round high in the air very
much after the manner of or Mistah
Buzzard He was doing It for two rea-
sons-because he JUST loves to sail round
and round that way and look down on
all that is going on on the Green
Meadows and IN the Green Forest, and
because he was getting hungry and he
was trying to make up his mind what he
wanted most for his dinner. He wasn't
very particular. not really. There were
several things he could think Of that
would taste good. There was Chatterer
the Red Squirrel. He had had his eye
on Chatterer for some time. but somehow
Chatterer always managed to give him
the slip. There was Danny Meadow
Mouse. He wouldn't make a very big
dinner. but he would be tender and very
delicious 1t was very annoying that
Danny managed to keep himself out Of
sight so much these days. Then there
