A Dog That Isn't a Dog
 By THORNTON W. BURGESS It often happens that the blame For i'll repute lies in a name.

There was a puzzled look on the face Of Peter Rabbit. Old Mother Nature saw Y and she knew that it meant that in that funny head of his Peter was turning something over and over trying to find an answer. What have you on your mind now, Peter?" she asked.
 Please, why is Yap Tap the Prairie got me there, Peter" said she. T would been studying and studying what you have told us about him, and I don't see single thing to make one even think of dog. He isn't the least bit like any dog I've ever seen"
 Old Mother Nature laughed. You've got me there, Peter" sadi she. "I would like to know myself why he is called a dog. He isn't a dog. He isn't remotely connected with the dog family. He doesn't look like dog. Why people call him dog don't know. unless it is be- cause of his habit of barking. But even his bark is not in the least like the bark of a dog. Dogs are enemies of Yap Tap, just as they are of you little folks.
 T suppose he has lots of other enemies, too said Peter. Old Mother Nature nodded. "Of course" said she. "Old Man Coyote and Reddy are very fond of a prairie dog dinner. So are members of the Hawk family. Then in some places where Yap Tap lives is 8 cousin of Shadow the Weasel called the Black footed Ferret, and he is feared most of all. because he can follow Tap Tap down into his home.
 "Hooty the Owl has a cousin out there called the Borrowing Owl, because he makes his home in hole in the ground. He is very fond of living in Prairie Dog towns because there he can find a home without the trouble of digging it. and also plenty to eat. Also Buzztail the Ratt1esnake is often found there Many people believe that Yap Tap, Buzztail and H. TN- friends and often live together in the same hole. This isn't so. Buzztail is very fond of young Prairie Dog and so is the Owl. When the latter is found living in one of Tap Yap's holes you may be sure that it is one deserted by it's right full owner. Buzztail also uses Prairie Dog holes, but you may be sure that if he finds any Prairie Dog babies in them they never live to see what the Great World is like. So Buzztail and the Bur

rowing owl are enemies not friends of Tap Yap.
 T forgot to say that there are some members of Yap Yap's family whose tails are white instead of black. These do not build mounds with doorway in the mid- dle, but throw the sand out to one side just as Johnny Chuck does. In habits all the family are alike. Where it is very cold in winter they sleep just as Johnny Chuck does but when they live where it is warm they are active all the year through. Now I guess that will do for today. Haven't you little folks had enough of school?'
 "Nol" cried Peter Rabbit and Happy Jack and Chatterer and Striped Chip munk and Johnny Chuck and Jumper the Hare. we want to know more about the rest of the members of our order, the Rodents or Gnawers," asked Peter "Of course in a way they are sort of related to us, and so we want to know all about them.

 Twenty minutes after the firing stopped my men and l, who had been forced to retire by the fire of Car ranZa's escort, knocked at the door of the presidents hut. When we re- ceived no answer we shouted we would fire if the door was not opened.
