When the four little scamps who be- long to Johnny and Polly Chuck drove Peter Rabbits lost little son away from the patch of sweet clover, which they claimed as their own, he ran and ran until he could run no longer. Then, finding few leaves of clover scattered through the grass, he ate while he rested. After a while he felt better. He had recovered his breath, he was rested. and he had filled his stomach.
 It is surprising how a full stomach changes things. It was just so with Pe- ters' lost son. Now that he had filled his stomach he felt almost brave. Those four selfish little Chucks didn't seem nearly as big now as they had when they had surprised him in their patch of sweet clover
 T have mind to go back and show those fellows, whoever they are, that I'm not afraid of them," he declared boastfully. I'm not afraid of them
 Now he may really have believed that he wasn't afraid of those little Chucks, but when he got ready to move on he didn't go in their direction. He didn't go back and tell them how brave and fearless he was. Mo- sir, he didn't do anything of the kind. He headed as straight away from them as he could go.
 The Black Shadows were beginning to creep out across the Green Meadows. In fact. it was just about the hour when he had stolen out of the dear Old tBrar- patch the evening before and wilfully started out into the Grea. World Then he had felt very big and unafraid, quite equal to taking care of himself and wholly scornful of the advice of his father and mother. Now he felt very. very small indeed, and as altogether helpless as only one who is really lost can feel.
 There was nothing for him to do but to keep on going. sitting still wouldn't get him anywhere. The dear Old Briar Iaa atch couldn't come tn him: he must 20

to it. So he hoped on and on, hoping that he was going toward the dear Old Briar- patch, but all the time going in just the opposite direction.
 The Black Shadows crept clear across the Green Meadows and. somehow, they made him feel a wee hit more comforta- ble. To be sure, he couldn't see as far as before they came. but neither could others, and this made him feel that he was less likely to be discovered by an enemy.
 II seemed to him that he must have been travelling half the night when he came to some bushes. His heart leaped with joy. It must be that he had reached the edge of the dear Old Briar- patch! He hurried along looking for one of the familiar private little paths which Peter Rabbit had cut all through the dear Old Briar-patch, but not a sin gle little path did he find. At last he understood that this was not the dear Old Briar-patch after all. and tears of bitter disappointment sprang to his eyes.
 But, anyway bushes promised better shelter than the open Green Meadows, and so he crept in among them Pretty soon he came to lot of great stones piled up as far as he could see in two directions. It was an old stone wall, but, of course, he didn't know this, for it was the first one he had ever seen. He scrambled up on it. and pres ently made a great discovery. It was that between many of those big stones were spaces big enough for him to slip through. He could even get clear down to the ground under those stones and move about there by squeezing between and crawling under them
 And, suddenly, that lost little Rab- bit felt that he had found the safest place in all the Great World outside the dear Old Briar-patch. He had found a refuge.
