SO they finally gave up and tried to
content themselves with the two that
were left.
Weeks afterwards. when Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas and New Years
Day were long past, Alice and Mary
and their father went out for Sunday
afternoon walk. They went passed the
village and out into the real country
that looked so beautiful covered with
ice and snow.
Suddenly, as they were walking
along. Alice exclaimed, There's a
bunny that looks exactly like Jump
away only he's bigger!"
Mary looked where Alice pointed
and she too exclaimed. why 1t is
Jump-away! I'm sure it is. only he's
grown up bigger 'en ever!"
The girls left the road and ran into
the field where the rabbit was. He
didn't run from them. he just stood
still and watched carefully as they
| came nearer and nearer, as though he
would like to be friendly. but he'd
have to be sure first what they meant
1 to do.
! Then, when the girls were almost
! up to him, what do you suppose he
did? He stood straight up on his
hind legs like his little mistresses had
taught him to do,
Look. father! Look" shouted both
girls. "It's Jump-away! See him."
1t took quite little coaxing to get
Jump-away to come near enough to

as result he got big reward of let
tuce for being SO obliging and willing.
One afternoon in the late fall. only
two rabbits were in the rabbit yard
Jump-away was no where to be found.
The girls hunted and called and
coaxed--no rabbit answered. and fl
nally the dark came and they had to
go into the house before Jump-away
was found.
They hunted him the next morning
and afternoon and all day Saturday
but not trace of him could they find

The leaning tower at Pisa was tho
scene Of an interesting experiment.
Aristotle. the famous Greek philoso.

reach the ground first. Now Aris-

truth was sound one until about
three hundred years ago-two thou

when Calico. the Italian astronomer.

OF great crowd he went to the top
OF the leaning tower and with him
he took two shots one of one pound

Better leave them in the basket
though, till you get their old rabbit
house fixed over. They like to sleep
in that soft grass. 1t was in a pile Of
it out on our front yard that found
them this morning. so know they
like grass"
Uncle Fred had no more than driven
away before the girls began work on
the rabbit house. They cleaned 1t till
it shone; they made bed Of grass for
each rabbit: and they fixed cup OF
water and a supper of lettuce and car
rots from their own garden Then,
when father had come home and had
seen the new pets and had approved
the changes in the rabbit house. the
rabbits were taken out of the basket
and put in their new home.
They seemed to like their home and
new mistresses very much for they ate
and grew just as comfortable as we'll
behaved rabbits should. And as they
grew bigger they ran around the little
yard the girls father fenced off for
! them and learned to do several tricks
the girls taught them. Alice named
her rabbit Hippity-hop. Mary named
hers Lippity-lop and the one which
belonged to both, they called Jump
away because he was SO very shy and
modest.
But one thing Jump-away could dc
better than the other two was certain
trick the girls taught him. HI
