felt something queer clinging about
his feet. That frightened him. and
he made long jump. which took him
right into the middle of that straw
berry bed.
Old Mr.. Trouble had Peter now.
Yes. sir, Old Mr.. Trouble certainly
did have Peter. You see. Peters feet
slipped through the holes in the net
and became entangled. OF course
Peter at once began to kick and
struggle, and the more he kicked and
struggled the more entangled he be-
came, and the more entangled he be-
came the more frightened he became
and the more he kicked and struggled
Now, A net is the worst thing in
the world to kick and struggle in.
Presently Peter was all wound up in
, that net. 1t was wound around him
so that after a while he couldn't kick
He could do nothing but lie there
Peter thought he had had bad frights
in his life before. but never had he
! been so frightened as now. You see
he couldn't understand what had him
He thought it was new and very
terrible enemy. The very strange
ness of this thing which had caught
him added to his fright.
Old Mr.. Trouble certainly did have
Peter Rabbit, and it was all because
Peter had listened to Old Mr.. Tempta-
ton.

any miracles He may have performed
or any creeds which may have grown
from His teachings. which has made
His name enduring and His vision be-
loved of many.
He understood people so well.
Partly. l suppose, that was because
He was poor. 1t meant hard times
to be poor in those days-harder
times than we know anything about
now. Jesus knew all about it-knew
exactly how it felt to be tired and
cold and hungry. Because He knew
these things and understood them in
others He built up the most remark
able sociological doctrine that the
world has ever seen. That doctrine
promulgated none of the pomps and
platitudes that our machine-welded
story Of His life tells all about it.
1t was near the end. He had only q
short time left. and there was so
much yet to be told to those simple
fisher folk who were to carry on HIS
work. Grave pressure must have
dragged on His heart as He walked
beside the sea Of Tiberias on that
long-ago night, watching the dawn
lift slowly over the waters. Far out
boat toiled shorew ards. laden with
weary men-Simon Peter, Thomas
(called Didymus), Nathaniel of Cana
in Galilee, the two sons OF Zebedee
and two other Of his disciples. Com
mon fishing men. stupid and irritable
from lack of sleep and a scanty catch.
Common men in dirty clothes. wet.
fou1ed with Ash scales, hungry, tired.
Yet they were all upon whom he could
depend.
There on the shore He waited.
What, were His thoughts? How did
He meet them? With laws and doc
trines. with sermons and censure?
With such things we meet our labor
ers. and those who stumble through
the night. Yet
''As soon then as they were come to
land, they saw a fire of Goals there, and
fish laid thereon. and bread.
Jesus then cometh and taketh bread
and giveth them, and Ash likewise"
A little fire with nsh laid thereon

Peter Rabbit had forgotten all his
good intentions. Yes. sir. he had for
gotten them completely. You know that
he hadn't intended to more than look at
Z! Farmer Browns garden. Then Old Mr..

, After that he had thought of nothing
but filling that big stomach of his.
| Now he was in the lettuce bed and
that lettuce tasted just as good as the
young cabbage plants. Peter just ate
and ate and ate. BY the time he had

of damage. AS he sat resting he noticed

had done.

for near-sighted Miss Kirkwood, who
sat patiently before the piano.
Where's she gone now?" asked
John morosely.
'Dr. Leonard and Phil Sheldon and
Merry are going to do a pantomime."
Rose answered him nervously. She
was rather lin awe of her big blonde
brother when he was in sulky humor
They've not had chance to rehearse
really. or course, Merriam did her
part so many times when she was in
school that it won't be hard for her
but Shelley and the doctor have got
to be what Merry calls fast little
workers il they get much in the hour
Rose put her hand on his arm. look
| Doesn't she look perfectly darling2'
Out from the dusty wings of the
narrow stage pranced Merriam. her
bronze curls tumbled about her
shoulders, q bodice that was next to
arms and neck. The crisp. short bal
let skirts made her look far timer
than she really was. She had rouge
pot in her hands. She beckoned to
the two men.
Now then" her voice rang out
from her hard afternoon. you start
the music, Kirky. dear"
The near-stghted pianist. who had

the keys.

to the footliEhts in her anxiety to
soften Miss Kirkwood's rather choppy
| accompaniment. Mice, moonlishty
music?'
Merriam John called to her
abruptly. May speak to you a
minute before this-er-farce be-
gins?"
She bent lower. cupping her ear
! with her hand. She was keyed to
high good humor
"Yes?" she Knocked him.
| THAT costume Of yours" he said in
/ disagreeable sotto voice. lis simply
out of the question for a small town.
Looks wonderful to me-" she an

Now then"-she ciapped her hands
| briskly-"you come out of the door
OF the house, Shelley-slowly."
Merriam" John raised his voice a
bit. did you hear what ! said?'
She turned her back. Her deft di-
rections to the two men rang out
sharply.
Very debonair in his Harlequin
dress. young DIR. Leonard. whom John
had always cordially hated. followed
| Merry's Instructions.
John sat with folded arms beside
Rose. Suddenly Merriam whirled to
| the footlights.
"Johnsy." she cried, trying to be
! tactful. but. oh, very eager to get
