NimbIeheeIs Jumps for His
Life.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Who alawys does his very best
Is thus prepared for any test.

Peter Rabbit felt very humble after
his jumping match with Nimbleheels
the Jumping Mouse. Nimbleheels had
made Peter appear to be no jumper
at all. But Peter was not jealous.
Perhaps he was a little envious. but
he wasn't the least jealous. Not one

wonderful exhibition of jumping by
Nimblekeels had been more ready with
applause.
That had been a wonderful exhibit

only a day two later Peter saw

was just about to ieave the edge of

out there in the long grass. Reddy
was hunting. With his nose to the

Suddenly from right in front of

turn around to follow Nimbleheels.
Peter Rabbit sat up as high as he
could in order to watch and most of
the time his heart was in his mouth.
Anyway it seemed so. You see he was
so dreadfully afraid that Reddy Fox
would catch NimbleheelS. But finally
NimbleheelS made three jumps, one
right after the other, three very long
jumps. They were not in a straight
line. One was one way, the second
was another way and the third was
still another way. BY the time he
landed after the third jump Reddy
Fox was SO confused he had no idea
where Nimbleheels had disappeared.

Italian lingo Paper Has Charged

ROME, July 24.-Replying to an in
quiry sent to him by the Rome cor
respondent of The Star concerning
the charges made by Italian nation
alist newspapers that a private tele-
graph wire, controlled by the Ameri-
can consul at Trieste, and extending
from Trieste to Laibach and Vienna
had been used by JugoSlavs in Trieste
to send secret messages across the
armistice line. Ralph C.. Buser. the
American consul at Trieste, says:
THE direct American wire from
Trieste to Vienna. which is used
for messages connected with Austrian
relief work. is leased from the Italian
and American missions in Vienna.
1t has always been used with the per-
mission of the Italian government,
and the Trieste end is under Italian
military control.
1.-The American consul at Trieste ex-
ercises no supervision over the line
and is not responsible for it's opera
ton. 1t is used by the American and
the allied missions and by the consul
lates; never by Jugoslavs. The wire
is connected only with the post office
at Trieste and not with the American
consulate"
This is fiat denial of the charge
frequently repeated by the lingo
newspaper in Italy that the American
authorities aided Jugoslav plots. The
best Italian papers do not make the
accusation.
