Old Man Coyote.

continued on to the bank of the Laugh ing Brook. On the edge of the bank he stood still for a few minutes look ing down, Suddenly it came over him that never had he seen the water so low. Then an idea popped into his head
 T wonder" said old Man Coyote T wonder" A crafty grin swept over his face and he turned and trotted up to place where the bank was low. There he went down to the waters edge and started down the Laughing Brook some times jumping from rock to rock and sometimes wading, for the water was very shallow. All the time he studied the shore along the edge of the I,augh- ing Brook.
 He found the tracks of Jerry Musk rat, and presently in a little sandy place he found the tracks of Peter Rabbit 'l thought as much muttered Old Man Coyote and kept on. He didn't trust to his eyes salone, but used his wonderful nose As he was passing place where the bank was highest and steepest he caught strong odor of musk. He fol- lowed it up and there under tanple of roots. right on the edge of the water he found one of the entrances to Jerry Muskrats house. He understood it all then. That was the way Peter had fooled him and escaped. He was satis- fled.
 That trick will never be played on me again. muttered Old Man Coyote as he trotted home.

Old Man Coyote doesn't like mysteries l He IS one Of those who believes that l there is nothing which cannot be ex-
 plained. so when a thing puzzles him he cannot be satisfied or content until he
 has found out all about it. And what | he learns he never forgets This is why
 he is one of the smartest of all the peo- l pie of the Green Forest and the Green | Meadows.
 1 When he left the dear Old Briarpatch | convinced that he had seen Peter Rah- | bit there beyond all doubt he was the
 most puzzled Coyote who ever walked
 on four feet Not only was he sorelv puzzled, but he was also feeling that he had been made 10 appear very foolish He had been oltwitted and he felt sure the story of it would soon be spread | all over the Green Meadows and all through the Green Forest.
 i Presently the funny side of it struck him and he began to grin Soon that grin grew to a chucke. It was funny. There was no denying that it was funny. | He had spent whole night watching that hole in which Peter Rabbit had disappeared. positive that there was no other way for Peter to get out. yet Peter did get out and had scampered home to the dear Old Briarpateh in safety. Old Man Coyote has a sense of humor and he can laugh at himself NHSh tue Jont To tu niIfl. CIV people can do that
 All that day he thought the matter
 over and tried to think how Peter Rab-
 bit could have fooled him so "That
 was Jerry Muskrat's house all rieht be- cause l saw him there'' thought Old
 Man Coyote. "He must have entered bv
 way of the Laughing Brook knew he
 had a house in the bank and | know that he always makes one or more en- frances to such a house under water Sometimes he has an entrance on land He has to this house and Peter Rabbit found it. He went in that way but he didn't come out that way. and there wasn't any other entrance on land for n made sure of that. Peter couldn't dive and swim out through one of the underwater entrances as Jerry does. know that. Peteer can paddle around in the water a little but he certainly can't dive and swim under water. Then how did he get out? It is too much for me. Yes. sir it is too much for me But l am going to find out if 1 never do another thing as long as 1 live, I'm not going to give that long legged ras- cal chance to play the same trick on me twice.
 Just at dusk Old Man Coyote trotted back to the Laughing Brook He merely glanced at the hole in which Peter had escaped from him the night before and

You can not overestimate the ina- portance of keeping the blood free of impurities. When you realise that the heart is constantly pumping this vital fluid to all parts of the body. you can readily see that any impurity in the blood will cause serious com plica tions.
