done to children by these as

people would subject the assailant
to liability to arrest on the charge
Of assault and battery.

a great air of mystery. "But come
very quietly. You mustn't frighten

Softly we threaded our way
over the nershy land in which
the reeds grew. Slowly we fol-
lowed Bunny, who stopped occa-
sionally and lifted his paw as
warning to us not to make any
noise.
In a moment he stopped and
beckoned to US to come nearer.
We moved up as quietly as two
mice and stood by Bunny like
two statues.
There swaying in the reeds
were two little basket-like balls.
We waited a moment and what

If you are used to the old-tash-
