Peter Calls on Old Mother Nature
By THORNTON M
There's one thing only when in doubt To do. and that is just find out

Peter Rabbit tried his best to believe that what Jenny Wren had told him about a cousin whom he didn't know wasn't true that it was nothing but a story. But do what he would he couldn't rid himself of little doubt. He tried to interest himself in the af- fairs of the other little people of the old Orchard. but it was useless. You know nothing grows faster than a little doubt. This particular little doubt kept growing and growing and growing. Could 1t be possible that Jenny Wren had spoken the truth? Could it be that he didn't know what relatives he had or anything about them? Of course, old Mother Nature could tell him all he wanted to know, and what she told him he would know to be true. Finally that growing doubt, together with the curiosity which has led Peter to do so many queer things, proved too much for him and he started for the Green Forest to look for Old Mother Nature. It didn't take him long to find her. Peter saw right away that she was very busy. You know there is no time in all the year when Old Mother Nature has quite so much to do as in the spring.
 Old Mother Nature pretended not to see Peter and kept right on with her work, But all the time she was watch ing him, and there was a kindly twin kle in her eyes. Peter fidgeted about uneasily. At last he found courage to asked very timidly and very politely, If you please, Old Mother Nature, will you answer some questions" 1 Certainly" said she. 'I am very i busy, but I guess I can talk and work at the same time. What is it you want ] to know?"
 l q want to know if 1t is true that there are other members of my family besides my cousin, Jumper the Hare who lives here in the Green Forest and myself" replied Peter.
 Old Mother Natures eyes twinkled more than ever and it was the most kindly twinkle you can imagine. Why of course, Peter" she replied. There are several other members. Do you know that?'
 Peter nodded. He looked very hum- ble and as if he felt little bit foolish, as indeed he did. 'Ts--is 1t true that way down in the Sunny South I have a cousin who loves to swim?" stammered I Peter.
 Tt certainly is. Peter" replied Old Mother Nature. "He Is called the Marsh Rabbit and he looks more like you than any of your other cousins"

Imogene bowed stiffly. ant Billy saw the letter on the desk. He l looked from one to the other and then i said: 'I see right now I've got to let you
