Bob White Has a Thrill.

Do you know what a thrill Is? It is
an unexpected feeling that makes you
tingle all over. There are different
kinds of thrills. some very nice and
some not nice at all. There are thrills
Of joy and gladness. There are thrills
of fear. There are thrills OF excite
ment. When you hear the clang OF the
fire engine as 1t rushes down the street
don't you Just SILVER all over with ex-
element? Those delicious little shivers
are thrills.
When Bob White heard the bang!
bang! Of the hunters terrible gun that
morning when one of his children was
shot he felt a sudden thrill, but 1t was
thrill of fear. All the other Bob
Whites felt the same kind of a thrill.
Peter Rabbit knows all about such
thrills. So does Danny Meadow Mouse.

gladness are among the most beau

Bob White and Mrs. Bob had given
up all hope of ever seeing again their
baby who had been shot by the hunter.
They always spoke of him as baby.

mother. 1t is a way that mothers and
.athers have. For a whole day Bob
had called and called without ever get
he had been killed. and because they
didn't want their sadness to make the
others sad they tried to be as cheerful
as of old. Every morning Bob White
whistled from a fence-post on the edge
of Farmer Browns wheat field. 1t was
clear, sweet and far-reaching. was that
whistle, carrying message OF cheer
10 all the world.
Bob White! Bob White! Bob-Bob
White" he called, and all the Green
Meadows and Green Forst rejoiced to

day when the hunter found Bob

and he quite lost his breath so that he
broke a whistle right short off in the
middle. His keen ears had caught a
sound that sent thrill all over him, a
thrill of great joy and gladness 1t was
SO unexpected that he couldn't believe it
at first. He thought he must have been
mistaken. So he listened with his head
cooked on one side. and as he listened
he shook all over with excitement.
Mrs. Bob had noticed how he had cut
that whistle short and she came hurry
ing over to find out what it meant.
what is it? she asked anxiously.
Have you discovered some new dan
ger?"
BE still, and listen with all your
might" commanded Bob. Then he drew
a long breath and wh1stled with all
his might "Bob-Bob White"
Almost like an echo there came from
far away. faint but clear. an answer.
Bob White. Bob White
Mrs Bob was so excited she few
right up beside Bob. It's our lost
darling" she cried. I'D know his voice
anywhere. Hes alive! He's alivem
And then Bob whistled as he never
had whistled before. for his heart
thrilled with JOY. such JOY as he could
find no other way of expressing. Every
one within hearing noticed it. Peter
Rabbit, over in the dear Old Briar Patch,
pricked up his ears.

Peter, Bob White must have heard
