You don't see very many of the
boys bringing French girls back
with them, do you? There was only
one fellow in our division who mar

Us all left ours over there. We

probably because we are used to
them"

ter him. Peter iust thought that
Jimmy Coon was always so particu-
lar about washing his food that now
he must be wanting to wash every
thing else.
So little Peter pushed ana pushed,
and soon the barrel began to move
just little-not very much, but Mr..
Porcupine inside thought it was fun
NY that it was so hard to keep his
feet. And as the barrel began to
move more and more, it was harder
and harder And then Mr.. Porcu-
pine tried to sit down, and the faster
the barrel moved, the harder it was
for Gully Forcupine, so at last we
gave up trying TO do anything. He
just made a ball Of himself and roll
ed round and round
Goodness me-" said Mr.. Porcu-
pine, " this is awful! 1t must be the
end of the world. Well, I have had a
good lot of salt anyway. Maybe
it's an earthquake
Now what were these rascals, jim
my Coon and Teddy Postum, doing
all this time? That's another story.
To be Continued.

The faster the barrel moved, the
harder it was for GULLY Porcupine.

The faster the barrel moved, the
harder it was for GULLY Porcupine.
Tedy Postum don't like it at all. Well,
all the more for me-"
Jimmy Coon was whispering to
Teddy Possum on the outside of the
pork barrel. Those rascals nodded
their heads and smiled and laughed
out loud You would think they
were telling each other good joke,
and this was strange when they
were both so angry with Mr.. Porcu-
pine But they seemed to have for
gotten their anger.
The camp was on little hill. There
were few pine trees, but fairly
open space led down to pond. Now
if you had been there, you would
not have known what those two ras-
Gals were trying to do, for they both
took hold of the barrel and stood
on their hind legs.
They grunted and grunted and
pushed and pushed. Peter Rabbit
looked through the bushes and his
ears stood straight up, he was so sur
sprised.
what on earth are they doing?"
said little Peter Rabbit to himself
Look at them work! They will
wear themselves all out"
Hey there, Peter! Come and help

to run this barrel down the hill and

Of course, Peter didn't know that
Mr.. Porcupine was inside or he
wouldn't have helped, for he liked
