almost sure to catch Peter when he
should run out.
But now, the last bit of brush had
been scattered, and there was no Peter
rabbit and Hooty was too much dis
gusted and disappointed to laugh any
more. OF course, Old Man Coyote and
Reddy and Granny Fox didn't see any
thing to laugh at. Indeed. they were
too angry to laugh at anything. Then,
