Bedtime Stories
The Little Rabbit Has Other Visitors
BY Thornton W. Burgess
When Foe or Wolf attempts grin

Rahh
BY Thornton w. Burgess

Just seeing Peter Rabbit had made
Peters little son the most homesick
little Rabbit in all the Great World.
There he was q prisoner in Farmer
Browns hen yard. To be sure, it was
nice big yard for so small q Rabbit,
and until Peter had appeared and talked
to him from the outside he had not
been unhappy. In fact, he hadn't
thought much about the matter. But
that visit from his father had made
him understand just what it means to
be prisoner, ind he longed for home
and the dear Old Briar-patch SO that
his heart ached.
From far down on the Green Mead
ows toward the dear Old >Briar-patch
the great voice Of Bowser the Hound
came to him as he crouched in the box
which was now his home in corner of
the hen yard Bowser's voice grew
fainter and fainter. Finally the little
Rabbit could not hear it at all. For
the time being he forgot his own per-
sonal affairs in new anxiety. He was
worried now about his father who. you
know, was Peter Rabbit. 1t was Peter
whom Bowser had been chasing.
The little Rabbit came out Of the
box and hoped over to the wire fence.
He got just as close to it as he could.
Then he sat up to listen. 1t seemed to
him that he could hear better sitting
up. But there was no longer any sound
of Bowser's great voice. The little
Rabbit looked up at the stars and
wished that they could tell him what
had happened down there on the Green
Meadows. They must know, for they
could look down and see all things be-
low. Had Bowser caught Peter Rab-
bit, or had Peter reached the dear Old
Briar-patch? 1t would be the most
dreadful thing that ever was if his
father, Peter Rabbit, had lost his life.
The little Rabbit swallowed very hard,
indeed, and two big tears rolled down
his cheeks.
"If anything has happened to him it
will be all my fault" he sobbed. "Bow-
ser the Hound would not have found
him If he hadn't come up here to see
me-, Oh, why, why did l ever run
away"
"Well, we'll, well!" exclaimed sharp
voice, SO close that the little Rabbit
jumped and ran a few steps before
even looking to see who the speaker
might be. well, we'll, well! If here
isn't little cry-baby!"
Just outside that wire fence sat
Reddy Fox, and he was grinning as he
looked in through the wire netting.
There was such hungry look in Red
dy's eyes that the little Rabbit shiv-
cred. Then it came over him that he
was safe, and it was that wire netting
that made him safe. Not even the dear
Old Briar-patch was quite so safe q

saying in disgusted accents that they
would be ashamed to take such sum
home to their wives. About 1900, how
ever, waited until they had pocketed
the money to express their disappoint-
ment. p. j. Shea, vice-president of the
union, who was standing in the front
of the hall, was surrounded by clamor-
ous strikers, who shouted inquiries as
to why Samuel Gompers didn't help
them. Mr.. Shea's only response was !:
"What can do?"
The B. r. T. reported to the Public
Service Commission that its subway
and elevated service was 81 per cent
normal yesterday. Two hundred and
in operation, an increase of seven
trains over Wednesdays figures. The
796 surface cars in operation were
seventy-seven more than were in SER
vice Wednesday. Seven surface lines
were in operation last night and night
service will be started on another TO-
night. The Wilson Avenue line which
will be operated to-day will be the
fifty-second of its sixty-seven surface
lines the B. r. T. has put into service
since the strike began.
In spite Of the abnormal call made
on the Police Department by the Wall
Street explosion, patrolmen were on
guard throughout the day on the troll
Officials of the B. R. T. said the
company had recruited permanent
force, exclusive of strike breakers.

place as that hen yard. A great glad
ness that he was inside it, instead Of
outside 1t, filled him, and he winked
away the tears. He even hoped a lit
tie nearer the fence and made face
at Reddy Fox. Reddy merely grinned
more broadly than before. You see, he
knew exactly how that little Rabbit
felt.
Just tnen low growl caused Reddy
to jump just as the little Rabbit had
jumped when Reddy had first spoken.
Reddy snarled and backed away. Still
snarling, he turned and trotted away,
close to the wire fence and looked
through it at the little Rabbit.
$50 here is the young runaway for
whom we have been looking" said he,
and tried to make his voice sound
pleasant. "Too bad! Too bad! If only
| had found you this wouldn't have
happened. 1t is a dreadful thing to be
prisoner l know, for l was one once.
Too bad Too bad!"
Again the little Rabbit made a face.
ut isn't too bad at ALL" he declared.
"lt is great deal better to be a pris.
oner in Farmer Browns hen yard than
to be in your stomach, Old Man Coy
ote, so don't waste any pity on me-"
Old Man Coyote grinned. "That de-
pends on the point Of view," said he.
NOW, / would much rather have you
in my stomach than see you a prisoner
in this hen yard. But perhaps that
will come later" He grinned again
and trotted away in the darkness.

Cars Stoned bv
Strike MObs
In BROOKLYN
Two Attacks Are Made and
Several Persons Injured;
Police Scatter Crowds
and Arrest Two Mem
Strikers Jeer Benefit PAY
Help Is Demanded From
Compers as Union Offers
SIS to Married Mem ONLY

Crowds Of strikers or their sympa-
thizers attacked trolley cars in Brook
lyn yesterday for the first time since
the early days of the strike. Two
cars were attacked, both in the Will
liamsburg section. Nearly 1000 police
who hitherto have been on strike duty
were called yesterday to che wrecked
Wall Street district
Several hundred persons, most Of
whom were throwing stones, bricks or
to a stop at Park Avenue and thronged
about it while the motorman and con-
ductor sought shelter inside. The
siege was kept up until six cars had
been stalled, all of which were tar
gets for the mob's missiles.
Patrolmen Bearens and Gleeson
seized three of the attackers and stood
guard over them with drawn revolvers
This aroused the crowd to more angry
pitch and jeers and missiles were being
directed at the patrolmen when the
reserves from the Vernon Avenue po-
lice station came up on the run and
dispersed the crowd
The prisoners said they were Joseph
and James Fanigleiti, of 1858 East
Fifteenth Street, Brooklyn, and Joseph
Venterello, of 8O4 Bedford Avenue,
Brooklyn. None of them was on strike.
Joseph Fanigleiti and Joseph Venterello
were charged with disorderly conduct
and James Fanigleiti with malicious
mischief.
A Union Avenue car became target
for stones and brickbats at Union and
briggs avenues. Louis Levenroth. the
motorman, fell beneath the hail of
missiles, and the crowd surged about
the car, threatening to lynch him and
the conductor. Reserves from the
Greenpoint and Bedford Avenue police
stations dispersed the mob. Levenroth
was able to proceed with his car after
an ambulance surgeon had patched him
up.
About 1000 B. R. T. strikers attended
meeting in Brooklyn Labor Llceum,
Myrtle and Willoughby avenues, and
cheered when James Sheridan. chair
man of the meeting, directed them to
form in line for the payment of a
"strike benefit"
The din was redoubled and reversed
in tone, however, when the men discov-
cred that the maximum payment was
only S5 and that only married men

Soldier Bandit Is Held
Without Bail as Slayer
Van Reed Shows No Emotion
When Arraigned for Murder
of 34Rh Street Tailor

Harry Van Reed, the soldier bandit
who Wednesday entered the tailor shop
Of Max Rabinowitz at 233 West Thirty
fourth Street and, after failing to rob
the place, shot and killed Rabinowitz
and seriously wounded his wife, Emma
was held without bail yesterday on a
charge of murder.
Emotionless and apparently interest
ed only in the legal proceedings accom-
panying his arraignment, he said he
was thirty-six years old and lived at
81 st. Nicholas Avenue.
While he was in West Side Court
Magistrate Tobias received word that
Mrs. Rabinowitz's condition was un-
changed and that possibility of her re-
covering was slight.
Assistant District Attorney Hennis,
Of the Homicide Bureau, told the court
that he would present the evidence to
the grand jury to-day, and expected an
Indictment by tonight.

WOMAN SOLDIER
TELLS her STORY

Warsaw, Oct 25.-A Polish woman
solder who took part in driving back
the bolsheviki from Warsaw writing
to a polish newspaper, says she went
10 days without taking off her
clothes and that frequently the mem
bers of her detachment went five and
six days without having opportunity
to take down their hair. During one
march, in keeping pace with the re-
treating red forces, the women were
on the go Ia hours, 1 3 of which were
without food or water.
The letter says: lat IL O'Clock at

bolsheviki hidden in clump of
woods After six miles of good road

SIGN STILL FETISH,

Amerongen, Oct. 25.-The MADE
in Germany" sign is still a fetish to
the German Emperor. Though he is
reported to feel that his country treat
ed him shamefully, nevertheless he
continues to buy for himself and his
little court at Doom German goods,
sent direct from erin when possible
notwithstanding the fact that he has
been in Holland nearly two years This
was most recently demonstrated
when, in furnishing the little hospita
William has had built here as a me-
mortal of his stay in Amerongen, he
had practically every stick of furni-
ture and other equipment sent from
Berlin.
In revenge, it is said here. Dutch
trad with whom the exile has to
deal at Doom, and also the workmen
whom he has to engage from time to
time, charge him all that the traffic
will bear.
