A FAST RUNNER

On Blue Mountain. and in Pleas
ant Valley as well, there lived many
fast runners. And among the swift
est was Jimmy Rabbit But he never
ran very far. Whenever he was
startled he would go bounding off
like the wind; but pretty soon he
would stop and listen to see if any
one was following him. And if it
happened to be dog Spot, he always
hurried to a hollow stump, or per-
haps woodchuck's hole--or a
skunk's-and hid there until Spot
went away.
OF course, there was some risk in
going into somebody else's house. For
if the owner happened to be at home
there was likely to be a quarrel.
Naturally, nobody likes to have some
outsider burst into his house without
even stopping to knock.
Now, everyone said that Jimmy
Rabbit could run fast-that is. all
but Tommy Fox. He never would
admit that Jimmy Rabbit was much

often heard to say that there was no
one in that part OF the country who
! could beat him.
"Of course, there may be some one,
somewhere, who can outrun me, ="
Jimmy Rabbit said. But l have yet
to meet him.
That was a little more than Tom
my Fox could bear. And ne went off,
looking very sour. He trotted over
to the creek, did Tommy Fox. And
there he might have been seen talk
ing to Mr. Turtle. He talked with
him for a long time. And when at
last he went away Tommy's face wore
a very different look He was actual
ly smiling
The very next day Jimmy Rabbit
met Tommy Fox in the woods.
you'd better go homem Tommy
told him.. "You have a caller wait
ing to see you. I just happened to
pass your house, and the caller asked
me if had seen you"
'Who is it?" Jimmy asked him..
But Tommy Fox would not tell him.
TITS really none of my business, -
he said.
Jimmy Rabbit hurried off He
wondered who wanted to see him,
and why.
He was surprised-and disappoint-
ed too--to find thatsit was nobody but
Mr. Turtle. And he was still more
surprised when he learned his errand
81 have come to challenge you to a
race" Mr.. Turtle told him.
Jimmy Rabbit laughed right in his
face.
"a race!" he exclaimed why
you can't run. | guess you've come
to the wrong house. 1 guess you've
made mistake"
But Mr.. Turtle said that he knew
what he was about.
II want to race you all the way
from the creek to Broad Brook, where
it runs into Swift River" he said.
Jimmy Rabbit had hard work to
keep straight face.
"My dear sir!" he said. II could
run that distance a hundred times
while YOU were waddling it once. I
don't care to race with you. 1t would
be no fun at all for me-"
When Mr.. Turtle heard that, his
beady little eyes snapped.
Don't be SO sure!' he said. II be-
lieve l can beat you. And l will bet
you--"
Jimmy Rabbit did not wait for
him to finish.
Bet" he cried 81 never bet! Pm
not allowed to. My mother doesn't
approve of betting And if she heard
you mention such thing to me she
would be very angry"
Il didn't mean to say that" Mr..
Turtle told him hastily ut was just
a slip of the tongue. What l meant
to say was this: If you win the race.
I'll give you fine new sled; and if
win, you can give me your wheel
barrow"
Jimmy Rabbit began to be interest
ed. He had always wanted sled
And by another month or two there
ought to be good coasting 1t GER
tainly wasn't betting, he thought.
And as for losing the race-and his
wheelbarrow-he knew that such a
thing could never happen.
III race you!" he cried. 'When
shall it be?"
How would tomorrow do?" said
Mr. Turtle. TITS a long way from
the creek to Broad Brook-a good
days journey, l call it, It's too late
to start today"
Jimmy Rabbit grinned. He knew
that he could run that far fifty times
a day
"Ill be at the creek early in the
morning" he promised.
