In Paradise life is ideally. sweet and

Bedtime Stories
A Great Change in the Skunk Family
By Thornton w. Burgess
The truly aOise will be discreet
And when ontmumbered. aciU retreat.
Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit watched Jimmy Skunk
and Mrs. Skunk and the seven fully
grown young Skunks out of sight. They
were so fat they toddled as they
walked. Peter wanted to follow them.
He was just burning up with curiosity
TO follow and see where they would
go and what they would do. 1t was the
first time he ever had been around
when Jimmy Skunk came out after his
long sleep, and Peter did want to see
just how he would act and what he
would do.
Had Jimmy been alone suspect
that Peter would have followed him.
But Jimmy wasn't alone. Mrs. Skunk
and seven fully grown children were
with him. Peter sighed. Each one of
those Skunks had powerful little
scent gun. 1t would be easy enough
to keep out of the way of one, but
nine was altogether different matter.
Some people are cross and easily pro-
voked when they first wake up. 1t
might be so with Jimmy Skunk and
his family. Peter felt that he couldn't
afford to run any such risk.
He decided that he would stay where
he was hidden in the old stone wall
return. But the longer he waited the
more nervous he became. Suppose,
just suppose, one of them should dis
cover him there and lose his temper.
The results might be very unpleasant,
very unpleasant indeed. Finally Peter
decided that the wisest thing for him
to do would be to go home. So as soon
as the Black Shadows came creeping
along the old stone wall Peter started
for the dear Old Briar-patch.
1t was week before Peter saw
Jimmy Skunk or any of his family
again, although every night ne visited
the far corner of the Old Orchard
where Jimmy's home was. Then one
,vening quite unexpectedly he came
face to face with Jimmy Skunk.
Hello, Peter!" exclaimed jimmy
Il see you have managed to come
through the winter safely. I was won
dering what had become of you. What
are you staring at me so for? Don't
you know it ISN'T polite to stare at
any one?"
"l--l--beg your pardon" stammered
Peter. II didn't mean to be impolite.
The fact is you've changed so since I
last saw you that hardly knew you.
Then you were so fat it seemed as if
you could hardly walk Jimmy,
you actually are thin!"
Jimmy sighed. "Thin is right, Peter.
Thin is right" said he. "And guess
I'll be thinner before I'm fatter. Peter,
haven't had one square meal, not one,
since came out of my winter sleep
little over week ago, and it is Just
the same with Mrs. Skunk and the chill
dren You know you can't keep fat on
nothing" He looked so hungry that

Charlotte Corday was the star per-
former of the afternoon She gave a
review of Mr.. Chaloner's life in detail,
saying that she had come to act as his
control as reward for his devotion
to her name and memory.
The devil had his innings, too. Mr.
Chaloner says he offered to tip him
off on the stock market and that he
replied: "Tip me off accurately to the
elusive movements of 'eighths' in Wall
Street and I'll follow you till He'll
freezes over. But one solitary error
and your name is Dennis"
"Ihere is no possible doubt that my

True enough. True enough, Peter -
replied Jimmy Skunk What / should
have said is that you cane keep fat on

We have just about used up all that

we had to wake UP yet. If we could
nave slept another month the snow
would have been gone when we awoke
and 1t would have been easier to pick
fully.
Just then one of Jimmys family came
N N slght and he was moving faster than
Feter had ever seen Skunk move be-
fore. He was spry in his movements.
Yes, sir, he actually was spry in his
movements. Jimmy saw him. Good
by, Pcter,' said he abruptly. '1f you
run across any fat beetles just remem-
ber an old friend. With food as scarce
as it is now and nine of us hunting
Tor 1t, can't stop to gossip or won't
get my share" With this Jimmy
turned and actually ran. He did, for e
fact.
Peter watched him and chuckled

Jimmy Skunk hurry. What difference
little fat makes. There certainly ia
a great change in the Skunk family"

John Cox was their victim on the night
OF January z. Cox reported they stole
S25 from him. They got only S125, the
robbers say. Another of their confessed
crimes, according to Mr.. Hetfeld, was
the hold-up of five automobiles at
Crawford. They realized s175 and
forced William Gordon, their last sub
Ject, to drive them three miles to Gran
ford. On January "a they took 5000
from forty passengers in two trolley
cars at Springfield. The report to the
police of this robbery set the losses
at $1,000.
Nine dollars was the total booty they
obtained on the night Of February 16,
when they stopped an auto at Chrome,
compelled two girls in it to give them
their money, locked the girls in a
shanty at the side of the road and
forced their two male escorts to drive
them to Railway.
