ii is too bad the Treasry was built

The building is of granite and sand

funny part is that both ends of it
are on Pennsylvania avenue, or al
most on it. for the avenue breaks
because of this building. You see the

Little Breeze had said of the danger
from Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote.
To be in danger from them he must
be where they could get him and they
couldn't do that if he were in a tree.
Peter stole softly along. The great
ferns growing there hid him. He
peeped out from under them just in
time to see great bird alight be-
yond a little turn in the Laughing
Brook. Peter knew who it was. OF
course. 1t was Mrs. Longlegs. Then
he heard certain sounds that he knew
could be made only by young Heron
being fed. He knew then that he
would have no trouble in finding
what he was seeking Around that
little bend in the Laughing Brook he
would find that young Heron. who
had met with an accident.
Slowly, carefully, taking the great
est care not to move a single fern,
Peter crept forward. He had no wish
to be discovered by Mrs. Longlegs
He had had one experience with
Longlegs, and that was enough, quite
enough. Peter had a very great re-
spect for that long, sharp bill and
those stout wings.
So he was very, very careful and
at last reached place where he
could peep out. There stood the
young Heron on the edge of the
Laughing Brook.

Peter Finds the Young Heron
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Somehow friendship always doubles
When it shares another's troubles.
Dab hIN;f

The more Peter Rabbit thought
about that young Heron who had
met with an accident the more he
felt that he ought to see if there
was anything he could do to help
Then quite suddenly he remembered
that he had forgotten to ask the
Merry Little Breeze. who had told
him of it, what Kind of an accident
1t was.
Stupid, stupid, stupid" muttered
Peter to himself. why didn't l ask
a few questions while l had the
chance? i don't see what could hap
pen to young Heron. anyway"
Right then, and there Peters Curl
osity was aroused. That settled the
question of whether or not he would
go hunt for that young Heron. He
just had to know what had happened.
Curiosity wouldn't give him any
peace at all. What kind of an ac-
cident was it? How had it happened?
What did the Merry Little Breeze
mean by saying. that something
worse might happen if word of it
reached the ears of certain people.
Peter had got to know. That was all
tnere was 10 lt--ne ndO got 10 Know.
1t was not yet dark, though it
would be soon. If he hurried he
could get down to the swamp before
the Black Shadows made it too dark.
Up bounced Peter. and away he went,

could go. He forgot all about want
ing to keep cool. He forgot how he
had suffered from the heat all that
day. pperty-lipperty-lip. he scam
pered along the bank of the Laugh

near the Big River.
Let me see. the Merry Little

had met with an accident on the
edge of the swamp, but didn't say
which edge and I forgot to ask"

Canning Beans.

/ Next to tomatoes, string beans are
the most satisfactory of the vege-
tables canned at home without
steam pressure. Failures are rare.
the beans keep their shape, texture
and flavor, and are most welcome
addition to the winter diet. A can of
string beans weighing twenty ounces
yields hundred and ten calories, OF
which tWenty-four are protein, or
tissue building calories, an unusually
high proportion for green vege-
table.
For a large family it is economy
to can string beans either whole in
quart jars or cut into half-inch pieces
in pint jars. For small family
enough can be packed whole into a
pint jar to serve for meal. The
beans must be well picked over. one
bad may spoil a jar: they must be
strung, unless. as is better, they are
so young and fresh that it Is unnec-
essary to strip off the tough thread
of fiber from the edge of the pods.

are then steriliZed either three hours
in boiling water on one day or half
an hour on each of three successive
days by the intermittent method.
This latter is tiresome, but safe. If
the beans are cut into half-inch
pieces they should be blanched after
they are cut. A cheesecloth bag in
which to hold them for blanching is
almost a necessity. The jars must
be sealed at once after the sterilizing
is completed, or, If the intermittent
