BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Copyright. 1877. By T. W. BurIsas-l

Steadily Paddy the Beaver worked in
the little grove of young aspen trees,
and the grove grew smaller while
Paddy's food pile out in his pond grew
larger. Every two or three nights
Peter Rabbit would come over to see
how he was getting on. One night as
Peter sat in the moonlight looking on
while Paddy worked he. noticed that
Paddy had left standing a fine young
aspen tree which grew close to Paddy
canal. This puzzled Peter. Here was
this fine looking tree close to the water
and instead OF cutting 1t Paddy was
cutting farther away where he must
do a lot of tugging and pulling to get
his logs down to the water,
Peter looked at that tree curiously
He wondered If 1t could be that some
