ment. At last when they were quite
sure that he had left and there was no
more danger they flew to little tree
near Peter, and then how their tongues
did fly as they talked it all over. AS
for Peter, his heart fairly bounded
with joy. The little kingfishers were
safe after all. He. like Billy Mink. had
forgotten all about Mrs. Rattles. He
might have known that with babies
there she would not be far away. AS
it happened, she was right in the nest
with them. as Billy Mink had found out
to his sorrow.
Peter watched Mr.. and Mrs. Rattles
for few minutes. Then he kicked up
his heels and started for the dear Old
Brier Patch to tell little Mrs. Peter
all about it, and that it really Is true,
that Rattles the Kingf1sher lives In a
hole in the ground.

Peter Rabbit Sees Things
Happen.

Peter Rabbit sat on the bank of the
Laughing Brook staring across at a
little hole near the top of the big
sandbank opposite. Billy Mink had just
vanished in that hole and Peter knew
why. He knew that that hole was the
entrance to the home of Rattles the
Kingfisher, and he knew that some
where back beyond that entrance was
a nest, and in it were the babies OF
Rattles. He knew. too, that it was for
those babies that Billy Mink had en-
tered that hole in the sandbank. that
Billy meant to make dinner of them
Tears were in Peters eyes as he
stared across at that little hole, for
there was nothing he could do to save
those babies He didn't want to stay
and yet somehow he couldn't make up
his mind to go. He knew just how
dreadfully Rattles would feel when he
returned and found that home empty
and 1t made his heart ache. So he sat
staring at the. hole in the bank across
the Laughing Brook and wishing with
all his might that there had been some
way for him to save those baby king
fishers.
Suddenly he noticed sand begin to
trickle down from the edge of that
hole. First there was a little, then
more ana more, strange noises

was an angry splitting sound and

that. What could it mean? Peter crept
to the very edge of the bank and stared
across with eyes that looked as if try
ing to pop right out of his head. He
didn't have long to wait. More sand
poured out of that hole, and then the
I tail Of Billy Mink followed by Billy's
long. slim body. Billy Mink was back

Just then there was sharp rattle

With Maj. William c. Harllee of the
as recorder of the National Board for
the Promotion of Rifle Practices by
Capt. Frank r. Curtis of the United
States Army, large number Of
civilians interested in the shooting
game have expressed a desire to have
the former appointed director of civilian
Workmanship, a new position which
the President of the United States. by
the new army appropriation bill. is'au-
thorized to fill. Maj. Harllee, who re-
Gently was promoted from the rank of
captain, has devoted a number of
years of hard work to teaching
civilians all over the country how to
handle and shoot rifle, and in view
of that his friends believe he deserves
the new position.
A provision in the army approprf-
alton bill authorized the President to
appoint a director of civilian marks
marship, and a Senate amendment
stipulated that this officer should come
from the Marine Corps An amend
ment to the amendment, however, SO
completed bill authorized the President
within his discretion, to name either an
officer of the army or Marine Corps
Maj. Hairless efficiency is evidenced
by the good record at small arms prac-
tice of the Marine Corps and the United
States Navy, the success of the ma
tionai matches of 1915, and in the work
done with civilians, especially the high
school boys of this city, who have not
only been developed as good shots, but
as coaches as WELL
That rifle shooting is popular among
government officials may be seen from
the accompanying photograph. which
was taken at the Winthrop range, and
which shows Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt and Secre-
tary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane
on the firing line. Carl Vrooman, as
sistant secretary Of agriculture, has been
one of the most enthusiastic followers
of the shooting game this year. Secre-
tary Baker of the War Department, after
one visit to the down-river range. is
loud in his praise of the work done
there. The best part of 1t all. it is
claimed, is that all these officials can
handle rifle after the instruction given
them at the range. and some fairly good,
although not exceptional. scores have
been made.
Washington civilian rife shooters owe
a great deal to the Marine Corps. and
it also is due to the efforts Of this
branch Of the service that this city
leads the country in rife club member
ship and interest taken in the game
The Winthrop range, Marine Corps post
was thrown open to the public by Mai
Harliee several years ago, and the nov
city alone at first attracted Washing
tonians. But after a time the game
became intensely interesting, and it has
been the regular thing" for individuals
and clubs to go to the down-river range
1t WAS through the efforts of the Ma
rine Corps that the full charge range
under Eastern market was opened. The
Winthrop range and the Poll TheateI
and Eastern market ranges in the city
all have detail of Marine Corps men
to act as instructors. Lately a number
of high school boys. after taking the
coaches course at Winthrop under the
direction of Mai Harllee and Lieut.. G.
V. Shuler. also have been acting as in
structors, and have proved very efficient
