"Where'd you get it?" asked Foley

''Swiped it out of garage on West

driver merely put on more speed when
the detectives sprang into another car

Bedtime Stories
Boxer and WOof-Woof
BY Thornton w. Burgess
IT'S sometimes qcell, 1t seems to me,
To sec, but not appear to see.
Mrs. Bear.

'Tis sometimes qceN, 1t seems to me,
To see, bat not appear to see.
Mrs. Bear.
Boxer and Wool Woof were the
twin babies of Buster Bear and Mrs.
Bear. Boxer wore black. coat and
Wool Woof, his sister, wore a brown
coat. and not in all the Green Fore st
could two liveller or more mischiev-
GUS little folks be found. Boxer was
Just wee bit bigger than his sister,
but he was no smarter. nor was he
the least bit quicker. For more than
two months they had lived under the
great windfall in the Green Forest
without even once poking their funny
little noses outside. You see, when
they were born. they were very
small and helpless.
You remember that Peter Rabbit
happened Ito be over by the great
wlndfall the first time they ventured
outside and that he gave them ter
rible scare by humping the ground
with his hind feet. Safety back in
their bedroom they Struggled together.
"Who do YOU suppose that terrible
fellow WASP" whispered Wool " oof.
How that would hive tickled Peter
could he had hear. it!
81 haven't the east idea" replied
Boxer. 81 guess we are lucky to be
safely back here. Did you notice how
his ears stood up?
I'VE must ask Mother Bear about
him." said Wool Woof. HE was only
about our size, and perhaps he isn't
so terrible, after all. Here she comes
now"
Lets not say anything about it,"
whispered Boxer hurriedly. you
know she told us not to go outside
We may see him again some time aud
then we can ask her"
SO when Mrs, Bear arrived she
found Boxer and Wool Wool curled
up, with their arms around each
other and looking as innocent as it
was possible for baby Bears to look.
Mother Bear grinned. She knew lust
what had happened out there, for
she had seen it all. You remember
that she had frightened Peter Rab
bit even more than he had frightened
the cubs. But she wisely decided that
she would say nothing about it then.
"These cubs have had their first
lesson in life" thought she, as she
watched them trying so hard to ap-
pear to be asleep. "They disobeyed
and as result they got a great
fright. | won't tell them that Peter
Rabbit is the most harmless fellow in
