BEDTIME STORIES BY R sgsssSS aaSsszo"

wide awake in an instant. Peter had
made no more than two frightened
jumps before Reddy was on his feet
and after him. My. my, my, you should
have seen Peter go then! If ever there
was frightened rabbit, that one was
Peter. He had thought to play a Joke
on Jimmy Skunk. and instead the Joke
was on him. He had wakened the very
last one in the Great World whom he
wanted to waken. Yes, sir; the joke
was on Peter.
But Peter didn't see any joke about
1t. He was in tight place, was Peter.
He hadn't very much Of a start, and,
you know, Reddy Fox is a fast runner
Glancing behind him, Peter could see
that Reddy Fox was grinning. That
grin made Peter feel more uncomfofta-
BILE than ever, if that were possible
Peter knew that if he kept straight on
down the Lone Little Path Reddy Fox
would soon catch him. So at the first
opportunity Peter lodged. He gained
little. but not much Reddy had been
watching for Peter to do just that
thing and was ready for it.
tempted to play that joke, How he
did wish he had been satisfied to re-
main in that bramble tangle for the
rest of the afternoon! But wishes
wouldn't help him now In and out
among the trees he twisted and lodged
He was too frightened to even think
where the nearest place of safety was.
Several times the teeth of Reddy Fox
came together with a snap at Peters
Tery heels. Each time he had lodged
Just in the nick of time.
Peter was growing tired 1t was be-
coming more and more difficult to
dodge quickly enough. Reddy Fox
didn't seem to be growing tired at all.
In fact, Reddy seemed to be enjoying
that chase. He was. He felt sure Of
catching Peter. He knew that there
was no bramble tangle near. He knew
that there was no brush heap near un-
der which Peter could crawl. He knew
that nowhere around was hollow log
or a hole in the ground into which
Peter could dodge. Never had he felt
quite so sure of catching Peter Rabbit
as he did now.

he jumped over an old log beside the

loud thump just beyond it. But the
words were hardly out Of his mouth
before his heart seemed to jump right
up in his throat. Right in the middle
of that jump he discovered that he had
made mistake. a dreadful mistake.
You see, Peter had been sure that
Jimmy Skunk was taking nap behind
that old log. He had seen a little tuft
Of white hair just behind the end OF

that it was the tip of Jimmy Skunk's
