round and round in the blue vault
of the sky.
Save for a few fIeecy clouds and per
haps a SUI, the sky, except for Sligo,
seemed empty.
Round and around, around and
round, he Circled. A narrow circle al
ways having for its center the figure
Of a gunner down in the woods.
Ever and anon the gunner would
stand point his weapon directly at the
lowering chicken hawk, and fire. And,
quite as ever and anon, the chicken
hawk, unframed, would keep circllng
directly overhead
Does it not sees queer that so old
a bird as Sligo, consumer of so many
chickens, eluder of so many farmers,
should apparently know no better than
to flirt with death in so flippant a
manner
Yes, it does not! Sligo. knows that
gunner, knows him for me worst shot
in Sl1igbury county, and Sligo is de-
Hberately staying within easy shooting
distance of him for safety's sake!

He wiggled in his chair in satisfac-
ton, and nervOusly poked at the wee
fire. Il do wish that I had some one
to eat dinner with me tomorrow he
said to himself. Now, Dummies cannot
smile, for their mouths are too tight,
even in Tabbyland, to let them grin
When they are happy they just raise
the upper lip little and show their
funny front teeth. CottOntail showed
his. They beamed in the freight like
popcorn, as COttontail said to himself
Now, 1 should be ashamed; I am very
happy and have enough, but it does
get tihesome to eat by oneself all Of
the time. None of the other creatures
about here eat green's"
He pushed his cap over one eye
sighed, and decided TO take a little nap.
But just as he got the cap in the right
place he heard a scratch at the door
Now, didn't I tell parents that I did
not want them to bother me at home,
he grumbled. 7 have half a notion to
not 20 to the door" He started up
out of his chair, and sank back. But
it might be one of the dolls, to ask
about a lesson" He sighed and got up,
Strengthened his cap and pulling his
bathrObe together as he shuffled across
the room. How do you do?" he said
as he opened the door
VERY well, thank you" came the an
swer, in a voice so like his own that
he jumped back and looked up BY
this time the visitor was inside, ana
they stood and looked at one another
as if they were frozen.
There stood a bunny as much like
CottOntaiI as if he We're his reflection
in a mirror. AS soon as COttontall
recovered from his surprise he gladly
welcomed the other bunny, and made
him comfortable for the night
He thought that it might be his
brother. but although they talked and
compared notes. and everything seemed
to fit, it was impossible to tell for
sure, because there were hundreds OF
little boys in the human world who had
Dummies, white Dummies, in wire run
ways, and lots of them had escaped
to Tabbyland
But neither one Of them cared bit
and finally gave the matter up. They
could not settle the question, but they
did have grand time the next day as
they sat down in front Of great~white
bowl of lettuce hearts and ate their
Thanksgiving dinner.

FTER Colonial was settled in
IA his school he was very happy
L "A He was too busy during the day
to think about whether he was happy
or not and when evening came and he
went home he was very willing to stay.
He had papers to correct, and plans for
the next day to make, and he got SO
that he did not waste a moment won
dering about other folks affairs.
But as the days went by and his
work became more and more easy, and
he found that he had time to smoke
and rest a while after s"pPe-. he be
gan to be a little lonely 1t took only
a short time to get ready for the next
day after he had learned how; the rest
of the time he spent sitting in front OF
his fire.
But he was not unhappy. He had so
many nice things to think about that
he did not have time for that even
though he did feel lonely at times.
Then he would close his eyes and
wish that he had his brother with him.
His brother was a bunny so much like
him that it was impossible to tell them
apart That brother was still in the
land with the human beings as far as
CottontaiI knew for the day that the
Tabbyland bunny had slipped out IN
der the wire netting, the brother was
too slow and had been caught by the
hind less and dragged back. Both had
meant to go to Tabbyland, but only
COttOntan escaped.
So one night, just before Thanksgiv-
ing day, Colonial sat in front of his
fire His blue bathrObe was neat ana
clean, his whiskers we're at an angle
which clearly stated that he was at
peace with the world.
