Little Stories For Bedtime
By THORMroM W. BURe Ess

DETER RABBITS jump over the
old barrel on the edge of the hill
was unexpected to Reddy Fox.
In fact, Reddy was so close on Peter
heels that he had no thought of any
thing but catching Peter. He was run
ming so fast that when Peter made his
flying jump over the barrel Reddy did
not have time to jump too and he ran
straight smack bang into that old bar
rel. Now you remember that that bar
rel was right on the edge of the hill.
When Reddy ran into it he hit it so
hard that he rolled it over and of
course that started it down the, hill.
You know a berrel is a very rolly sort
of thing and once it has started down
a hill nothing can stop it.
1t was just so this time Reddy Fox
had no more than picked himself up
when the barrel was half way down
the hill and going faster and faster.
1t bounced along over the ground and
every time it hit a little hummock it
seemed to jump right up in the air.
And all the time it was making the
strangest noises. Reddy quite forgot
the smarting sore places where he had
bumped into the barrel. He simply
stood and stared at the runaway.
LAS l live" he exclaimed. II believe
there is some one in that old barrel -
There was. You remember that Jimmy
Skunk had curled up in there for a
nap, and that Peter had peeped in and
seen him there. Now Jimmy was awake,
very much awake. You see he was
moving fast for once in his life, very
much faster than ever he had moved
before since he was born. And it
wasn't at all comfortable No, sir, it
wasn't at all a comfortable way in
which to travel. He went over and
over so fast that it made him dizzy.
First he was right side up and then
wrong side up so fast that he couldn't
tell which side up he was. And every
time that old barrel jumped when it
went over hummock Jimmy was toss

needless that she trod upon them in
struggling into her street dress. Then,
catching up her hat, and pressing it
down upon her head, she seized her
coat and, opening the door of the room
a crack, peeped out.
The great salon was deserted except
for a few walters who were gathered
in a far corner of the room talking in
low tones. She could see that the door
of DeLisle's office was partly open and
that the little enclosure seemed all full
of men.
Nobody would stop her. She could
go away--leaving her costume behind
her. Sick and trembling she ran to
the rear entrance and let herself out
of the door upon the side street. 1t
was here that she had met Frederic
Parker two nights ago.
And it was here that George Dixon
WAS now waiting.

Jump into it, kid, and we'll get away

She stumbled and almost fell as she
climbed into the car. Sinking upon the
seat, she closed her eyes. A wave of
black dizziness swept over her.
A moment later she felt the cold
wind on her face and sat up with a
grasp. Dixon was driving rapidly
along the broad avenue leading away
from DeEisle's.
