Peter Rabbit had been sitting still T leng time, He had sat without moving ever since he had hidden there among the rushes after seeing Hooty the owl. lie was sure that Hooty hadn't seen him at all. He knew that Hooty had been intent or catching Jerry Muskrat. He knew that Jerry hadn't been caught because he had heard the splash Jerry had made when he dived into the water when he Peter, had thumped that warning. lie felt sure that Hooty had gone elsewhere to hunt.
 But, just the same, he kept perfectly still for a long time. It was the wisest Il ing to do. Peter knows that safety for all the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows He doesn't mind sitting still. It is the easiest thing in the world for lazy person to sit still, and you know Peter is inclin d to be lazy. So he was quite content to sit still. But all the time he kept those long ears of his busy catcnns every tile sound and trying to discover If any of them meant danger.
 But though he heard many little sounds, the Little Night Freezes stealing through the rushes, the gurgling laughter of the Laughing Brook, the deep voice of Grand ather Frog, the humming of tiny insects, not one so much as hinted of danger. At last he made up his mind that it would be quite safe to move. He would go back and see if Jerry Muskrat had re-

haps Hooty the Owl had returned, but somehow Peter doubted that. Peter strained his ears for some little sound that might warn him where and what this danger might be. Then from far away ia the Green Forest he heard the hunting call of Hooty. That settled the matter so far as Hooty the Owl was concerned; ; Jerry Muskrat had discovered some other danger. Fg
 T know from the sound that Jerry was out in the Smiling Pool" thought Peter. T don't know of anything he would be afraid of out there. It must be that he saw something on land and meant that warning for me Now what can that danger be? And where is It? What shall I do? Which way shall 1 run?"
 The more he thought about it the more it seemed to Peter that he must, he sim- ply must get away from there. There wasn't a shadow of doubt in his mind that an enemy was very near Was it Reddy Fox? Was it Granny Fox? Was # Old Man Coyote? Was it Shadow the Weasel? Was it Billy Mink? Peter lis tened with all his might for the rustic f leaf to tell him just where the dan ger was, but not sound could he hear.
 It was dreadful. That is just what it was-dreadful. If only he could run. But not knowing just where that enemy was, he might run right into him. Peter didn't

Answer-You do not give enough
flgsres upon which to base calcula-
ton However, the law on the subject
is this: II the landlord raises a ten
ant rs per cent. or less over what he
paid a year previous, his act is pre-
sumed to be fair and just and II the
tenant does not wish to pay, II is up
to him to prove IT is unfair. If he
does so, the presumption will be upset.
If the landlord seeks to raise the
tenant more than rs per cent, OF what
he paid o year previous, he shall be
presumed to be unjust and oppressive,
and If the tenant objects to the IN
crease the landlord must prove by his
expenses he Is justified II he does so,
the presumption is upset and the in
crease will be allowed.

I increased by 81 beginning Aug. /. As
my last raise was in December, l have

Answer-The-law presumes a raise
or 70 per cent. over what the tenant
paid year previous to be fair and
just. The rent law in this respect is
not absolute. The intent is to give
the landlord a fair return on his in
INeStment and not Cypress the tenant.
Thus, If the landlord can show a "a

a proper return, the court will allow
him more.

Spread Of the belief in financial
quarters that railway workers win
vote TO accept the wage award an
nounced yesterday resulted in spirited
buying Of railroad shares in to-day's
stock market
During the first hour Of trading
Reading was five times more active
Ghan any industrial stock and at one
time showed an advance Of over two
points.
Low priced, non dividend paying
shares were in demand by commits
sion houses whose business comes
from the rank and file OF traders. and
issues such as Pere Marquette.
Southern Railway, Rock Island and
others recorded gains ranging from
substantial fractions TO more than a
point
The possibility OF a general railway
strike because of dissatisfaction over
the wage award Is considered ex-
tremely remote. Wall Street now
looks for an increase in freight rates
which will fatten revenues nearly
twice the amount higher wages will
add to their payrolls. II seems TO be
the consensus Of best financial
opinion that the Interstate Commerce

of the increase railroads requested.
