stopped to chase Peter Rabbit; how
he, Bobby, had taken this chance to

foun dhimself In q strange part of the
Green Forest; how he had looked in
vain for hollow tree in which to make
a new home, and lastly how he had
found this little cave In the ledge of

to Bobby as he lay stretching and
yawning.
At last he scrambled to his feet and
began to examine his new house more
carefully than he had when he first
entered. The more he studied II the

the nice Grocery Boy said. He did not
care to tell a fib even to the old
Witch, so he did not say the Raggedys
were not in the basket.
Why shouldn't I look in the bas-
ket?" the old Witch asked, IF the Rag
edys are in there, j wish to capture
them!"
Anyway, l wouldn't look inside r.
the Grocery Boy said. What if there
was something inside which would bite

'Ha !" the mean old Witch laughed,

that, Mister Grocery Boy!

LISTENING IN ON EVE

around indefinitely had to stop it wasn't
fair to either one of them.
But Miss Lucy simply couldn't
choose between them, although both
suitors said they were game for a verdict
Then somebody proposed that they toss
coin and let hhe coin decide. Lucy
finally agreed.
1T was fixed that Jimmy and Saun-
derson should eat dinner at the Brazel-
ton home, and that after dinner they
would flip a coin on the dining room
table. If it came heads Lucy would
marry Saunderson IL il came tails she
would marry Jimmy.
II guess 1t was a kind of q high
tension meal they had there that night.
Neither one of 'em looked at Lucy much
and you can't blame 'em.
Lucy proposed once that the thing
be postponed week more, but all
three men said emphatically MOI They
would have nervous prostration in an
other twenty-four hours.
90 All right, them said Lucy, Let it
be a penny, like the idea Of copper
cent choosing my husband for me! =,
Wen take penny agreed Old
Braz. Here goes !!
HE held his fist over the, table
and shot the coin from his thumb like
a boy shooting marbles. 1t was a pref
ty stout thumb and the coin went nearly
to the ceiling, spinning to beat the
band as II descended upon the table.
AS the circle narrowed down everybody
could see that the coin was going to
settle down heads uppermost.
Jimmy didn't wait to see the thing
settle down flat. He'd seen enough al
ready. He started to leave the room,
then stopped to congratulate the winner,
for he was a game boy, Jimmy was.
"Old Braz looked at the coin lying
there on the table and then took look
around to see how the others were
taking the verdict There was Jimmy
standing In the middle of the floor pop
eyed and holding his hand out to Saun-
derson.
when Saunderson looked up from
the coin he saw Old Braz and Lucy
awfully sorry for Jimmy, especially
Lucy. As a matter of fact, Lucy felt
so sorry for Jimmy that she went up to
him and put her arms around his neck.
Jimmy was already holding out one
hand, you see, so he had only to ex-
tend the other one to take Lucy in.
"Old Braz, square-shooting old gent,
yells: What's this?' and Saunderson,
pointing to the coin /, yells: I won! 1
won!'
"And according to the coin he did,
no doubt about that. But the higher
court reversed the decision. In other
words, the woman's Heart decided in
favor Of the loser, which is the way with
women like Miss Lucy Brazelton."
