Little Stories For Bedtime
 THORNTON w. BURGESS
NV i7ING LIKE THE OLD NAME
 AFTER All
BY THORNTON w. BI

DooDy Coon and Jimmy Skunk had tnelr heads together. Now, when .hese two put their heads together <ou make up your mind that they arc plePning mischief. Yes, sir, there is surS 10 be mischief afoot when Bobby coon and Jimmy Skunk put their heads together, as they were doing now. Had Peter Rabbit looked back ana seen them he might not have felt quite so easy in his mind as he did. 6ut Peter didn't look back. He was 100 much taken up with trying to look IS important as his new name sound cd You see, he had thought the name Peter Rabbit too common, and so he had taken the name Peter Cot tontal. Now he was putting on airs and holding his head very high as he went down to the Smiling Pool to call on Jerry Muskrat-
 Whenever any one called him by his old name Peter pretended not to hear He pretended that he had never heard that name and didn't know that he was being spoken to. Bobby Coon and Jimmy Skunk thought it a great joke, and they made up their minc- that they would have some fun with Peter and perhaps make him see how very foolish he was. Yes, sir, they planned to teach Peter a lesson. Bob by Coon hurried away to find Reddy Fox and tell him that Peter had gone down to the Smiling Pool and that if he hid beside the path he might catch Peter on the way back.
 Jimmy Skunk hunted up Blacky the Crow and Sammy Jay and told them of his plan and what he wanted them to do to help. Of course. they prom ised that they would. Then he went to or Mistah BuZzard and told him. or Mistah Buzzard grinned and promised that he would do his share. Then Bobby Coon and Jimmy Skunk hid where they could see all thai would happen.
 Peter had reached the Smiling Pool and now sat on the bank admiring his own reflection in the water and talking to Jerry Muskrat. He had just told Jerry how when his old , name was called out he didn't hear it any more, when along came Blacky the Crow.
 Hello, Peter Rabbit You're just the fellow I am looking for. I've got a very important message for you, shouted Blacky.
 Peter kept right on talking with Jerry Muskrat just as if he didn't hear, although he was burning with curiosity to know what the message was.
 I say, Peter Rabbit, are you deaf?' shouted Blacky the Crow.
 Jerry Muskrat looked up at Blacky and winked. Peter Rabbit isn't here,- said he. -This is Peter Cotton tail"
 "Ohi" said Blacky. My message is for Peter Rabbit, and it's somethins he really ought to know. I'm sorr4 he isn't here' And with that away

In vain Dyck's lawyer, VIII Nc
Cornick, urged him to deny absolute
" the killing Of Erris Boyne. Dyck
would not do so. He had, however.
Immediately on being jailed, written
to the government, telling Of the pro-
jected invasion Of Ireland BY the
French fleet, and saying that 1t had
come to him from sure source. Tne
government had at once taken action.
Regarding the death Of Boyne, the
only living thing in his favor was
that his own sword-point was Tree
from stain. His lawyer made the ut
most OF this, but to no avail. The
impression in the court was that both
men had been drinking; that they
had auarreled, and that without
duel being fought Dyck had killed
his enemy.
That there had been no duel was
clear from the fact that Erris Boynes
sword was undrawn. The charge.

attorney general. who was gratefui
for the information about France
had been changed from murder to
manslaughter. though 1t seemed clear
that Boyne had been ruthlessly killed
by 4 man whom he had befriended.
On one Of the days Of the trial,
Dyck's father, bowed, morose. and
obstinate. came to see him.
Miles Calhoun looked at his son
with detection. His eyes wandered
over the grlmly furnished cell. His
nose smelled the damp OF 1t, ana
suddenly the whole soul Of him burst
forth.

his whole appearance shriveled. Then,
with elaboration, he said:
"This Is not a matter Of expedi-
ency, but Of principle. My heart tells
me what to do. and my heart has al
ways been right"
There was silence for long time.
At last the old man drew the cloak
about his shoulders and turned to-
ward the door,.
"Wait a minute, father" said Dyck.
"Don't 20 like that. You'd better not
come and see me again. II I'm con-
demned, 60 back to Playmore; If I'm
