 ! Old Man Coyote was greatly pleased when he found that it was new one not yet quite finished. That meant that Jerry probablby would make use of it every night. He would sit on it to eat his meals. By hiding close to it some other evening i t should be an easy mat ter to catch Jerry. A
 But Old Man Coyote didn't expect to catch Jerry that night, so as soon as he had examined that little landing he turned his attention to Peter Rabbit. His wonderful nose soon found the place where Peter had been sitting when he had seen Hooty the Owl and warned Jerry Muskrat. Again Old Man Coyote grinned.

Old Man Coyote Is s ure of Peter Rabbit Overhurry will gain
 The prize you ct out to attain
By THORNTON, w. BURGESS

No one knows better than Old Man Coyote that hurrying often leads to carelessness and carelessness to fafl- ure- So it is seldom that he makes the mistake of allowing eagerress to over- hurry him. When he drew near the place from which he had heard the thump made by Peter Rabbit and the splash made by Jerry Muskrat, he crept. He took the greatest care to put each foot down so as not to make the tiniest sound.
 He was positive, was Old Man Coy ote, that somewhere among those ' rushes on the shore of the Laughing Brook, where it flows into the Smiling Pool, Peter Rabbit was hiding. He knew Peter and his ways so well that he could be quite sure what Peter was doing and would/do.
 He is sitting perfectly still" thought Old Man Coyote, 'and he will continue to sit perfectly still for some time He will sit that way. listening with those big ears of his until he is sure that il is quite safe for him to move Then that everlasting curiosity of his will lead him right back where he was when he was frightened. He will go back there to see if Jerry Muskrat is over his fright. The thing for me to do is to find out where that place is and then be patient"
 So slowly and very carefully Old Man Coyote worked his way through the rushes. Presently he stopped~and held his nose high. Then he grinned. You see. Jerry Muskrat had left behind him on that little landing of his a little of that strong scent of his called musk. You know it is that from which he gets his name. He had left it on that little landing that other muskrats who ght come along should know at once that that landing was his
 With that to guide him Old Man Coyote had no trouble at all in finding that little landing. He went to it as straight as if he had known all the time exactly where it was. He didn't expect to find Jerry there, so he didn't

His mouth Watered as he thought how good that dinner would taste. And all the time he Kept his keen cars open for the uniest sound which Peter might make. and with his wonderful nose kept test Ing the soft night air for the faintest scent of Peter. It certainly did seem as if Peter Rabbits end was very near.
 And then from out in the Black Shadows of the Smiling Pool came the loud startling splash, which was Jerry Muskrats danger signal.

Tuesday morning Dr. Whittier
again took the stand under cross eN-

effort to shake the testimony Of the

the time food travels after leaving

to inches a minute, the attorney
thus showing that it was important
in determining the time at which
Bartley's death occurred that exam

should have been conducted at a
greater distance than eight feet from

that distance which food is from the
