 Directing His Future
 But this time I tell you to walk right into 1t, and the great White Fairy promised me little minute ago that something very cute shall befall you. I spoke to her in my mind."
 Little Bunny Boy did not hesi- tate He followed Tot Tins point ing finger, and right into the trap he crept.
 "Bang!' went the trap door, and. for the life of him, Bunny Boy could not help but shiver bit.
 But Tot Tim made himself invisible and sat down to wait.
 It was not long before down the hill came tripping the most beauti- full lady.
 She was dressed in a plnx-and- white frock. and on her little feet were snow white slippers. A large dropping flower hat adorned her head. Her hands held loads and loads of lovely daisies.
 The lady, Tot Tim noticed, was not languid and llstless like many other women he had seen. But her face was all eagerness. She half ran when she walked, and there was an attitude about her that indicated she loved to be busy at making pretty things.
 She did not seem to be going any where in particular. But when she came down into the dell. her eyes espied the rabbit trap; and over she rushed to peep in.
 Poor Bunny n Prisoner
 There, crouched down Ill one corner she caught sight of poor little Bunny Boy whose big round eyes looked up so yearningly, so sweet and plead ingly, into hers.
 You blessed, adorable thing!" The lady's words fairly tumbled from her very red lips, You poor little dar- ling. Who saut you up in here? l won't have It.
 what she was about, she had stopped to uick up tho trap and was bearing 1t right to the farmhouse where sine was spending the summer.
 Tot Tim hoped right upon the lady's shoulder so as not to be left behind. Her name was charming Miss Peggy Lane;" and Tot Tim wasn't surprised at all that, when she sought out the boy who owned the trap, she got his full and entire consent to have Bunny Boy, trap and all. Who in the world could ever deny Peggy Lane anything? With her eyes, Tot Tim wondered how the boy could help offering himself Into the bargain.
 For we would have you know Peggy Lane was the great Miss Lane" who drew the most beauti- ful things which had ever appeared in the children's magazines. Very often Tot Tim had seen the lovely drawings she had made of all the hosts of fairyland; wondrous dolls and little gnomes.
 A Promise
 Finally, imagine how he thrilled with happiness to hear the great artist say:
 You angel rabbit, I'm going to take your right away with me to my studio in the big city, and there, what cunning drawings 1 shall make of you. But just one of them shali be my prize. l shall get a rustic hollow log, and l shall make little design of you Just creeping out of IL. And. Oh, how you shall look at everybody. until their hearts shall beat and beat for love of you; until they will wish that they could SHftIn Aou up lHIlil 10 the over powering delight of yolr softness, your tantalizing, adorable helpless ness. Everyobdy must just be made to stand still ana try madly to de- eide just what 1t is that makes you so appealingly sweet.
 T shall paint the expression of your eyes, little rabbit-the soft warm curves of your tiny body--the aloofness of you. And the world shall feel that same 'dearness, about you thatI felt when l looked down upon aren't you the funniest. cutest. daintiest. baby bunny that ever. ever was?''
 Miss Peggy forgot all about being on vacation. She called for her big touring car. and away she and Tot Tim and the bunny rabbit fair ly flew into the big city.
 Without even taking time to throw off. her hat. Miss Peggy sought her big studio, and there softly slid open the trap door and let Bunny Boy creep out.
 Giving Advice
 Tot Tim stayed right beside the rabbit, whispering into his ear:
 Don't you act silly at all. When Miss Peggy wants to take hold of you, don't you make any kind of stir. Let her place you right where she wants you. and you stay there. All she Is going to do Is to make dozens and dozens of pictures of you"
 And what fof?" queried the little rabbit.
 You little goose, don't you under stand? She will make these pictures for all the little children of the 1.... in magazines everywhere, and Miss Peggy plans to have little figures of yea carved fin grey marble. These will be bought by parents every where for the delight of their chil- dren. Reporters from many states will write the story that Miss Peggy's little model was you. And
