CHICAGO, Dec. 18.--Whcn Chief of
Police Fitzmorris said last NIGHT he
would clamp the prohibition lid on Chi
cago until it squcaks" he evidently
meant just what he said, for his men
began raidng disreputable resorts in
every direction. More than 500 al

are alread under arrest and are be-
ing held in various police stations
Most Of them will come up for trial
to-morrow, and if the judges enter into

Inc prohibition laws have been treat

Woman Dies on Street
At least five recent murders arc
traced by the police to moonshine
liquor, and young woman died on
the street to-da after taking drink
or two of the stuff that is being sold
here. The city is said to be honey

Peter Rabbit Is Trapped
BY Thornton w. Burgess

Peter Rabbit

Back of Buster Bears bed in Bust
er Bears cave sat Peter Rabbit with
eyes which seemed to be popping out
of his head, his heart seeming as if
it were right up in his mouth and
every hair on his back standing on
end with fright. Peter had heard a
noise just outside the entrance to that
cave and, of course, his first thought
was that Buster Bear might be re-
turning. He thought of Buster first,
because he was in Buster Bears
bedroom, where, of course, he had no
right to be, and he had that most un-
comfortable of all feelings-a guilty
feeling.
Outside the cave it was light, for
Mistress Moon was shining her
brightest and Peter could see the
entrance clearly. You see he was
looking toward the light. His first
thought was to take to his heels and
scamper out of that cave as fast as
his legs could take him. That is
what he wanted to do. Ny, how he
wanted to do it! But he didn't dare
to. No, sir; he didn't dare to! To do
it might be to run straight into the
claws of Buster Bear, for that noise
he had heard was just outside the
entrance to that cave. Was ever a
Rabbit in worse fix? He didn't dare
run and he didn't dare stay.
Again he heard that noise, and this
time there was no doubt as to what it
was. No, sir; there wasn't doubt in
the world! 1t was the noise made by
some one shifting at something, and
Peter didn't need to be told what was
being shifted at. He knew. He knew
only too we'll. Some one was shifting
at his trail Some one had found the
scent left by his feet.
Buster Bear!" thought Peter. "Oh.
dear! Oh, dear! He has come home and
am in a trap! Why, oh, why, did |
ever come in here? If try to run out
he'll just reach out big paw and that
will be the end of Peter Rabbit. /
wish | hadn't come over here. wish
| hadn't thought of Buster Bear.
wish / had needed Mrs. Peter and
stayed in the dear Old Briar-patch.
Ha! 1t isn't Buster Bear at all!'
You see, all those thoughts went
through Peters funny head all in a
minute, way thoughts have of do
ing in moments of fright, and all the
time he had been staring at the en-
francs to that cave. Now against the
