he reached II when Peter heard a

Yes, sir: and what Is more. It

top. No sooner was Winsome out
than Mrs. Winsome disappeared In

For long time Peter sat star

fence post. and he was the most
foolish looking rabbit that ever was.
Winsome and Mrs. Winsome kept
going and coming as they fed the
hungry little mouths inside that old

Wins0me Buebird's Joke On Peter Rabbit

feteT haDDlt was quite put Od'
with Winsome Bluebird, because
Winsome would not tell where his
new home was. Yes, Peter was
quite put out with Winsome. OF
course he had no business TO be.
That new home of Winsome's was
Winsome's own affair. and II he
chose TO keep II secret H. had per.
feet right TO. Certainly il was no
affair of Peters. But Peter couldn't
see IL this way. He wanted to know
where that new home was and the
fact that Winsomo wouldn't tell
him. and that he couldn't find il
himself made him want to know all
the more. So he was doubly put
Output out with Winsome because
he wouldn't tell and put out with
himself because he wasn't smart
enough to find out that secret.
OF course Peter had great deal
to take up his time these busy
spring days because there was so
much going on in the Green Mead
ows and the Green Forest and
around the Smiling Pool chat he
had hard work 10 keep up with
everything. Sometimes he wished
he could divide himself up and be
in twenty places at once, so as not
10 miss anything. But. of course, he
couldn't, and so he had to content
himself with pretty nearly running
his legs off as he tried TO poke his
wabbly little nose into everybody's
business but his own. But every
day he found time to run up 10 the
old fence near the Old Orchard
where winsome Bluebird was al
most sure to be sitting on post,
and watch Winsome while in the
hope that he might learn Winsome's
secret.
Now Winsome Bluebird knew per.
fectly we'll what Peter was doing.
and he couldn't help teasing Peter
little. One morning Winsome
seemed unusually happy, and Peter
noticed II right away. He spoke
about II.
"Of course I'm happy. There's
an egg in my nest this morning, so
why shouldn't I be happy" replied
Winsome.
The next morning Winsome few
to meet Peter. There are two
eggs In my nest, Peter" he cried,
and then few to the nearest post
to MARBLE happily.
The following morning he an
nounced three eggs and the day aft
err that four eggs, and he could
hardly contain himself for joy. All
this made Peter more curious than
ever. He asked everybody In the
Old Orchard. but no one seemed to
know. Peter seldom saw Mrs. Win
some these days. and he knew that
this was because she was sitting
on those eggs. Winsome sat about
and warbled happily. Sometimes he
was vi Out vi TIC poSNS VI th' piu
fence and sometimes he was in a
tree on the edge Of the Old Orchard.
and Peter knew that that nest was
not far away. II must be in one

Old Orchard with an aching neck
because he had tipped his head

Then very early one morning as
Peter came hopping toward the Old
