unpleasant; curiosity suggested that
if Jimmy was in there he probably
was sound asleep and there wouldn't
be the least danger.
So Peter sat in front of that door
way between the roots of the old
apple tree in the far corner of the Old
Orchard and tried to make up his mind
whether to heed his common sense Or
satisfy his curiosity.
If" said Peter to himself. Jimmy
and Mrs. Skunk are not living here
this winter I ought to know it. There
might come a time when l would want
to use this house myself II 1T is
empty. The only way to find out is to
go in and see for myself. Knowing
that this house is empty might be the
means of saving my life sometime
Then Peters common sense got busy
again and pointed out that 1t would
be time enough to find out when there
was real need Of using that house.
But curiosity didn't give comn1o n
sense much chance. 1t suggested that
my Skunk slept as Johnny Chuck
does in winter. or whether he lived
alone or with Mrs. Skunk. 1t set
him to wondering if Jimmy was as
sound a sleeper as Johnny Chuck
IF he is" thought Peter there is
nothing to fear from him I would
like to see him asleep. I would so.
I wonder what he does with that big
tail of his when he is asleep. I Won
der If he is as fat as he was the last
time saw him, just at the beginning
of winter. He was so fat then that
when he walked he waddled, and his
feet seemed too small for him. I
wonder if it is as warm down in there
as it was in Johnny Chuck's house.
I wonder"
And then Peter stopped wondering.
I'm going to find out" said he. very
decidedly. IF I don't find out I'll
keep wondering always, and I hate
to wonder about things. I want to
know"
Peter sat up very straight and
looked this way and looked that way
and looked every way. No one was
to be seen. So far as he could see,
he was all alone. He poked his head
inside that hole between the roots of
the old apple tree and listened. There
wasn't the teeniest, weeniest sound
to tell him whether or not there was
anybody down there.
IT don't believe there is" said Peter,
and in he went.

A Conyalescent's Sermonette.

young woman of possibly twenty,

She wept quietly and comfortably
at first, but her grief gathered mo-

the girl on the other side of the door.
What the mother could not possibly
know was that her weeping was very

convalesoent girl: so she wept on.

So her mother, very red and moist

apron over her head, came back into
the sick room, and sat down On the
bed-right on the sick girls feet.
Which was rather thoughtless Of the
mother and quite hard on the girls

whether they still lived there or not;
curiosity urged him to find out. Com
mon sense told him that he wouldn't
be one bit better off if he did find

Common sense reminded him of all
that had happened in Johnny Chuck's
house and the terrible fright he had
had there; curiosity said that this
was different and that he needn't
stay in there but a minute. Common
sense limited that if Jimmy Skunk
should happen to be in there and
awake he might resent having a Wis
