i've found Old Mr.. Toad" cried Peter
Rabbit. hurrying after Jimmy Skunk.
"Where?' demanded Jimmy.
I'm the water" declared Peter Hes
sitting right over there where the
water Is shallow, and he didn't notice
me at all. Let's get Unc' Billy and then
creep over to the edge of the Smiling
Pool and watch to see if Old Mr.. Toad
really does try to sing"
So they hunted up Unc' Billy Possum,
and the three stole very softly over to
the edge of the Smiling Pool where
the bank was low and the water shall
low. Sure enough. there sat old Mr..
Toad with just his head out of water.
And while they were watching him
something very strange happened.
Peters big eyes looked as if they might
pop out of his head.
"What-what's the matter with him."
he whispered.
"If he don't watch out he'll blow up
and bust.' exclaimed Jimmy.
Listen" whispered inc Billy Pos
sum- DO nah OIL ears hear right?
Pears to me that that song is coming
right from where Brer Toad is sitting"
1t certainly did appear so. and of all
the songs that made glad that glad
spring day, there was none sweeter.
Indeed, there We're few as sweet. The
only trouble was it was SO very short.
1t lasted only for two or three seconds.
And when it ended Old Mr.. Toad looked
quite his natural self again, just as
commonplace, almost ugly. as ever.
Peter looked at Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy
looked at inc Billy Possum. Cnc'
Billy looked at Peter. And no one had
a word to say They just didn't know
what to say Then all three looked
back at Old Mr.. Toad.
And even as they looked his throat
began to swell and swell until it was
no wonder that Jimmy Skunk had
thought that he was i'll danger of blow
ing up. And then when it stopped

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PETRoGRAD, March 21.-A sixteen
year-old girl. the daughter of q. fruit
dealer, lately perpetrated the daring
hoax of passing herself Off as one of
the daughters of the Russian emperor,
even to inspecting a hospital, where
she was received with royal honors.
Yelina Romanoff, as she called her
self. bears a striking facial resem-
blance to one Of the grand duchesses.
When she attired herself as Sister of
Mercy, the deception was complete.
She arrived in this dress at the
Tsarkoe Selo railway station. where
master OF her highness' coming.
Selects General for Company.
Yelina was going to Gatchina. She
refused an offer Of a special train, en-
democracy. She would not even let a
lieutenant general vacate his apart
ment for her, but chose his company.
On arriving at Gatchina she declined
the state carriage and rode to the hos
pital in an ordinary droshky. sur
rounded by fiunkies and officials and
accompanied by the general, who came
at her special request.
A ceremonial reception was extended
to Yelina at the hospital, where she
inspected the wards and conversed with
the wounded, who felt greatly hon
ored She had just asked for the
money collected for the grand duchess
fund when Count Mordvinofr, the EN-
peror's attache approached and dis
covered the imposture. Instead Of be-
ing embarrassed, Yelna greeted the
exposure with peals Of laughter.
The girl was returned to Petrograd
in a third class car and there exam
ined at length by the police. After
ward she was turned over to her
father, but escaped.

TOWN IS FORGOTTEN
IN FEAR Of AIR RAID
Military Precautions Keep Natives
Under Martial Law for Twenty
Four Unnecessary Hours.
Correspondence Of the Associa ted Press.

Correspondence Of the Associat ted Press.
LONDON. April IA small town in
the south of England. which was or
dered to take the usual military pre-
cautions on the occasion of one of the
recent false alarms regarding Zeppelin
raiders. lived for nearly four
hours under a martial law which pre-
vented any one from even going into
London forgot to notify the local au-
thorities that things were all right. A
correspondent in the town gives some
details Of this occurrence, mention of
which in the newspapers was forbid
den by the censor.
Il arrived homo late in the evening
after visit to London. to find my wife
and the maids huddled in a circle in
the cellar scullery. The light Of q
pickering candle fell on their pallid
faces. The rest of the house was In
special constables had valiantly DASH
ed forth at the first alarm and turned
out all the street lamps. In some cases
they had adopted the simpler method
OF smashing them.
If 1t were not for fear of the CEN
sor could tell a great deal more about
our Zeppelin night. 1t produced many
stirring scenes. The ladies who hur-
TieQ out into the cold, dim world. each
with baby clutched in one hand and
bag full of belongings in the other,
will not soon forget it.
Even Milkmen Barred.
The night really lasted all the next
day as well. and the local milkmen
who were coming in from the country
were not admitted to our beleaguered
streets. While we were shut Off from
the outer world we all thought of
Peremysl.
Our Zeppelin night was rather a mys-
terry, for nobody knew just how it be-
gan. We never knew, for instance,
why the streets were blocked l be-
lieve the Germans are very clever, but,
so far as known, they have never
threatened to bring their Zeppelins in
on wheels. Nor can we find out why
the inspector of markets, local Of
fetal well known to everybody, was re.
fused admission to tho town where he
was born and bred.
The policeman on our beat said days
afterward that it was a false alarm
and that some one in London had for
gotten to telephone down to release
them from the martial law hurriedly
ordered on the first rumors of a raid.
Anyway. for twcnty-four hours we all
really remembered that we were at
war"

monuments of art and civilization in

These appeals" says the STAFF 8
