When Bobby Coon at last got his

utes quite upset and moro than a
little downhearted Now that he
couldn't have that particular tree
because. you know. Il had been cut
down. Bobby felt that somehow he
had been cheated. lie quite forgot
that he had not remembered that
tree at all until after he had found
that he couldn't make Unc' Billy

he had always intended TO make
his home IN that vanished tree

II there was no tree and so he felt
that he had been cheated. II was
very, very foolish feeling TO have.
II was simply because he was so
disappointed. You know disap-
pointed people often do have fool

things.
Grumbllng to himself Bobby tried
TO make up his mind what TO do
next Right in the midst OF his
srumbling his ears caught sound.
II was very faint. but there was
no miHtaking II. II was the voice

on Bobby started for the Laugh

in the thought OF the fun he would
have. for he dearly loved 10 fish and

He Is as fond Of playing around

was that when Mistress Moon
looked down that night 10 see what
was going On in the Green Forest
and on the Green Meadows she dis
covered Bobby Coon fishing In the
Laughing Brook and rs care-free
and happy as II he never had had
a worry or trouble in his life. He
hid among the Black Shadows be-
side a tiny little pool and watched
for careless minnow TO come
within reach. Then there would be
a swift movement of a little black
paw. Sometimes the minnow was
tossed tapping on the bank and
sometimes there would be only a
spatter OF flying drops all silyery
in the moonlight But whsther he
caught his fish or missed 1t 1t was
fun to- Bobby.
And so he wandered on down the
Laughing Brook. catching a min
now now and then, playing with
bright. shiny bits Of shell. pulling
ever sticks and stones TO see what
might be hidden under them, and
wholly forgetful OF everything save
the good time he was having.

happy II did seem so good to be
wandering about at his own sweet

once more. II struck him now as
rather a Joke that he hadn't any
house 10 go to. II was a long. long
time since he had been without
home.
I've got to sleep somewhere"
said Bobby. rubbing his eyes and
yawning. "and the sooner find
place the better. I'm so sleepy now
| can hardly keep my eyes open.
Hello, there's a great big log over
there. II II is hollow II will be
just the place for me"

with an opening at one end. He
was just going to crawl in when
Peter Rabbit popped out from be-
hind a tree.
Hello. Bobby Coon" cried Peter
joyously. Where have you been?
II was over where you used to
live and found your house gone and
was afraid something dreadful had
happened to you. What cid happen
and where have you been?"
Now, tired and sleepy as be was
Bobby had to stop and talk for
few minutes. You see Peter was
the nrst OF his friends Bobby had
met to whom be could tell all the
wonderful things that had happened
to him and he was fairly aching to
tell some one. So he sat down and
told Peter how his hollow tree
had been cut down and how mis-
leg had been broken. and how
Farmer Browns Boy had taken him
home and fixed that leg so that
Old Mother Nature could make n
as we'll and sound as ever. and all
about the wonderful time he had
had al Farmer Browns house, and
how Farmer Browns Boy hal

had been fishing all night and now
was looking for place 10 get

Peters eyes had grown big and
round with interest and wonder as
ne listened. II was the hrst time
he had known OF any one having

exciting to think that Bobby Coon
actually had lived right in Farmer
Browns house II was almost too
much TO believe all at once.
Now II you'll excuse me. Peter,

Bobby ended, and started TO crawl
