Peter Visits Paddy the Beaver.

Peter Rabbit often wondered what
had become of Mr.. and Mrs. Quack.
but Jerry Muskrat kept his secret so
well that finally Peter gave up trying
to find ii out. and after a while he
quite forgot all about Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack. Sou see it was the beautiful
springtime. and there was much
going on in the Green Forest and on
the Green Meadows that Peter was
busy every waking minute trying to
keep track of the new arrivals from
the sunny Southland and of what the
earlier arrivals were doing. The talk
on all sides was of homes and home
building, and Peters lively curiosity
kept him on the jump trying to find
out just where the homes of his
neighbors were So it was that he
quite forgot about Mr.. and Mrs. Quack.
Indeed. being so busy elsewhere, he
didn't even visit the Smiling Pool for
many days.
One afternoon. as he sat in the dear
old Brier Patch listening to the sweet
song of Carol the Meadow Lark, and
feeling just wee bit provoked TO

think that SO far Carol had been smart
enough to keep secret the place where
Mrs. Carol was building a nest, sud-
den thought popped into his head. He
hadn't seen Paddy the Beaver since
the coming of Jack Frost in the fall
No, sir, he hadn't seen Paddy, and he
hadn't even heard from him. He
didn't even know if Paddy had lived
had been so much to do and see nearer
home that he hadn't once thought of
visiting Paddy's pond deep in the
Green Forest.
I'll do it this very night declared
Peter, right out loud.
DO WHAT asked Mrs. Peter, sus-
piciously.
"Oh, just visit an old friend of mine"
replied Peter, lightly.
You are doing altogether too much
visiting, Peter Rabbit" declared little
Mrs. Peter. with decided toss of her
little brown head. You are away so
much that pretty soon you'll forget
you've got a home. l don't see what
has got into you.
.J guess it's the spring fever" re-
piled Peter, quite meekly. Seems as
If l can't sit still these days. AS Unc'
Billy Possum would say:
If yo' would know just how All feels.
DE itch of spring am in nah heels.
And that's just about the way Of it.
1 suppose it's the same feeling that
sing 1 have to
might strong.
Keep a-moving. keep a-moving, keep a-moving
right along.
Little Mrs. Peter shifted. "One of
thes- days when you are away from
home you'll keep a-moving right
along straight into trouble, just as
sure as you're long cared, long
legged, cotton-tailed bundle of Curl
osity," said she. And to that Peter
couldn't find word to say.
But that didn't prevent him from
starting from the Green Forest that
very afternoon. The way was clear.
and once in the Green Forest he knew
of plenty of hiding places should he
meet with any one looking for Rab-
bit dinner AS II happened, he met
with no adventures at all, and just as
Jolly, round, red Mr. Sun was begin
ming to slip down behind the Purple
Hills for the night Peter reached the
pond of Paddy the Beaver. There was
Paddy's house out in the water, Just
as he remembered 1t. Yes, and there
was Paddy himself, swimming with a
stick of wood in his mouth.
Hello, Paddy" cried Peter. happily.
Paddy kept right on swimming until
he reached the end of his dam. There
he climbed out of the water. Hello.
Yourself" said he, quietly, as he pre-
pared to strip the bark from the stick.
| for, you know, that is what he lives
on.
What's the news over here?" asked
Peter.
mo special news, excepting that I've
got some new neighbors," replied
Paddy.
Whats that? cried Peter. his long
| ears twitching with curiosity. who
are your new neighbors? Do l know
| them"
Just at that very instant he heard a
little noise from over beyond the house
| of Paddy With eyes popping almost
| out of his head, he looked to see a
handsome big bird swim from behind
| the house. 1t was Mr.. Quack. In a
minute Mrs Quack appeared.

energy of a flowing river can be trans
muted into food and sustenance and thus
indirectly direct the vital activities of a
nation The scenic grandeur OF a great
waterfall may be a national asset but
am one Of those who see an even greater
grandeur and more valuable national
asset in vast fields of waving grain and
contented, well nourished herds, which
mean contented. virile and Industrious

policy with regard to the use of the
water power sites OF the public domain,
which would be liberal enough TO at
tract the large investments necessary for
hydroelectric development was urged by

sible locations thus TO be promoted. he
said. would be followed by great expan-
sion Of the electrochemical industries,
which. he added, are now of vital mill
tary well as commercial Importance
Power Sites Of Value.
Water power sites of especial value in
connection with the electrification of rail-
roads are those which are situated In the

oil are comparatively scarce and expen-
