Peter Rabbit Learns About
Chippy.

Jenny Wren was too busy to talk
and Peter Rabbit soon tired Of watch
ing her work. He wanted to gossip
with some one, SO finally he hoped
over to call on Johnny Chuck. whose
home was between the roots Of an old
apple tree in the far corner Of the Old
Orchard.
Hello, Johnny Chuck!' cried Peter
as he discovered Johnny sitting on
his doorstep. you've lived in the
Old Orchard long time, 80 you ought
to be able to tell me something
want to know. Why is it that none
of the Sparrow family except that
noisy nuisance. Bully, builds in the
trees of the Old Orchard? Is 1t be-
cause Bully has driven all the others
out?'
Johnny shook his head. Peter"
said he, whatever is the matter with
your ears? And whatever is the mat
ter with your eyes?"
Nothing" replied Peter, rather
shortly. They are as good as yours
any day. Johnny Chuck"
Johnny grinned. "Listen." said he.
Peter listened. From tree just a
little way off came a clear Chip, chip,
chip" Peter knew without looking
who was over there. That was the
voice of one of his Oldest and best
friends in the Old Orchard, a little
fellow with red-brown cap, brown
back streaked with black, brownish
wings and tail, gray waistcoat, black
bill. and with little white line above
each eye. 1t was Chippy, as every

Peter and Johnny shook their heads.
and Peter confessed that he would not
know it il he saw it. He often had
found hair from the coats of Reddy
Fox and Old Man Coyote and Light
foot the Deer. but hair from the coat
of a horse was quite another matter.
1T isn't hair from the coat of a
horse. you goose: it is the long hairs
from the tail or name of horse that
we want" cried Chippy as he prepar-
ed to follow Mrs. Chippy toward
Farmer Browns barnyard. 1T make

Chippy and Mrs. Chippy were gone
a long time. but when they did re-
turn each was carrying a long black
hair Mrs. Chippy was in high spir-
it's because. as she explained. that lit
tie nest would soon be ready for the
four beautiful little blue eggs with
black spots on one end which she
meant to lay in it.
II just love them declared Peter
as he watched his two little feathered
friends putting the finishing touches
to the little nest far out on a branch
of one of the apple trees.

smallest and trimmest member of the
Sparrow family.
Peter looked a little foolish. Il
forgot all about Chippy," said he.
Now l think of it. 1 have found
Chippy in the Old Orchard ever since
I can remember. / never have seen
his nest because I never happened to
think about it. Does he make 1t of
trash like his cousin. Bully
Johnny Chuck laughed. II should
say mott" he exclaimed. Twice his
nests have been in this very tree and
there was no trash in either of them.
I can tell you! His nest is as dainty
as he is. and not a bit bigger than 1t
has to be. It is made mostly of fine.
