LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Jimmy Skunk Sends Out Invitations.

away across the Green Meadows and
through the Old Orchard and the
Green Forest, telling all the little
people who lived there to be sure tc
be on hand by the tall pine that
night to see the great jumping
match. or course. everybody was
greatly interested as soon as they
received the invitation. and at once
began TO ask questions. But these
Merry Little Breezes couldn't an
swer. and 30 they just laughed and
giggled and hurried on. And OF
course this Just made people more
curious than ever and all who were
not afraid TO be out after dark made
up their minds that they would GER
tainly be on hand for that jumping
match.
Now Peter didn't know that Jim
my Skunk was going to send out
those invitations until the Merry Lit
ale Breeses brought him one, and
when he got It he was quite upset
He knew then for sure that Jimmy
Skunk was positive that he would
have some one there who could jump
farther than could Jumper the Hare
otherwise he never In the world
would have sent out invitations. And
Peter knew. too, Just how foolish
he would appear In the eyes of the
other little people II Jsmper should
be beaten. They would laugh At him
for having boasted so without stop
ping to think.
But there was no help for II now
So he hunted up his cousin Jumper
and asked him II ne would jump
that night.
"who Is going to jump against
mel" asked Jumper.
II don't know" confessed Peter
II said that you were the greatest
Jumper In the Green Forest or on
the Green Meadows, and Jimmy
Skunk said he knew some otner
Jumpers who could beat you. dc
you think there IL any one who
CAM" he asked anxiously.
Certainly" replied Jumper
promptly. II know at least two who
can, and there may be more. How.
ever, they are both friends OF mine.
20 I will be on hand. You see don't
mind at all being beaten by them,
and a. long a. II IL all for fun am
Perfectly willing to jump"
You'll Jump your very best, Won't
your begged Peter.
Jumper promised that he would,
and with this Peter had to be con.
tented. for Jumper wouldn't tell who
the two friends were who could beat
him jumping.
