Before you believe quite all you hear Investigate and have it clear.
 Old Mother Nature.
 Peter Rabbit couldn't get over the news that Carol the Meadow Lark had brought 10 the dear old Briar- patch. Peter had long been fond of Jenny and Mir. Wren. There was no one he welcomed back more heartily and joyously In the spring. He just couldn't believe that the ru- nor that Jenny and Mir. Wren had destroyed the eggs of some of their neighbors could be true. He didn't want to believe it and he wouldn't believe it, But he couldn't think of anything else. So the first chance he got he ran up to the Old Orchard. He knew just about where to look for the Wrens. Almost at once he heard Mir. Wren singing. He hur- ried over there. Jenny Wren popped her head out of the opening Of a little house Farmer Browns boy had put up for her.
 Tut. tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, see who's here!" exclaimed Jenny Wren
 Hello, Jenny!" exclaimed Peter what are you doing in that house? I thought you had yvlr nest in an- other house"
 50 I did" replied Jenny; T rais- ed one family in that house, and TOW I'm raising another family in this house"
 Peter was looking around. He really wasn't paying attention to Jenny Wren. Jenny noticed it. Tut, tut. tut, tut, tut. tut, you are most impoIite. Peter Rabbit" she cried. "Whst are you looking around for when I'm talking to you'"
 "Where are all your neighbors' Jenny?" asked Peter, for he had no- ticed that there were no other birds very near.
 "Neighbors! I don't want neigh bors. Neighbors too close are a nuisance" sputtered Jenny. "I like to have a little privacy myself. Then too. it is easier to get a living when there are not too many living close together. The neighbors are plenty near enough here"
 But it seems to me there used tt be several right around here" said Peter.
 "Is that so?" snapped Jenny well, you don't see them around here now
 That's just if" replied Peter. don't and I'm wondering why
 Don't ask me" retorted Jenny "Go ask them. This is a free coun Itrv. and, goodness knows, all of then are big enough to know their owl minds and do what they please. A I said before, I'm satisfied. Neigh bors are all right when they are no too neighborly."

 "You never did like her" Gloria answered him with a flash of spirit. And it's not quite fair to say that she's after nothing but money, all the time"
 She's said so, herself, plenty Of times, right in this very room '' Dick answered with a shrug of his shoulders, "All I have is her own word for it. YouNe heard her say that between love and money, she'd always choose money, haven't you?"
 Gloria had 10 admit, somewhat unwllingly, that she had heard May say that very thing,

 And when, at last they drew lip before Dick Gregorys house and May opened the door of the car to step out, he suddenly leaned over and gripped her cold bare hands with his.
 You spoke of going 10 Los Altos this winter" he said awkwardly. When are you leaving? Am I going to have another chance to see vou?"
 May caught her full lower lip with her teeth. and dropped her eyes demurely. She said nothing. But in the silence and the darkness she managed 10 tell Ulysses that if he wanted to see her again, 1t was ID to him!

Richard Gregory, Junior, who was fast asleep, upstairs.
 For a long time there was peace full silence In the cozy room, broken only by the cracking of the wood In the fireplace. Then Gloria spoke again, musingly.
 May would De the very wife for man like Ulysses H,," she said, with a nod of her bright head. shes heaps of fun, and Ulysses looks as if he needed a little fun in his life. Mother Gregory says his first wife was perfect prune.
 Dick looked up from his hook and grinned.
 Don't worry; Ulysses isn't going to marry your friend, the widow, he assured her. Hes too much of fox to walk Into Mays trap"
 But if there was trap, Ulysses had certainly walked into it.
 At the very moment that Dick was speaking, he was asking May Seymour to marry him.
 He had stopped the automobile along the side of the Kensington road, and he sat bumped over the wheel staring into the circle of light that the headlights flung upon darkness ahead.
 May" he was saying, and his voice tremblcd on her name as he spoke 1t for the first time, May I'm lonely. How lonely l didn't know until I saw you, again, today. l want you. ] want you for my wife"
 He turned in his scat and looked at her, his hands clcnched upon the wheel. A look of surprise nshed out npon Mays face.
 "Oh Mfr Forgan!" she brcathed
 There was surprise in her voice
 But she felt no surprise. She had seen how If was from the begin, ming. with Ulysses. She had knowr that hc was falling in love with hci that day, d month ago, when shc had gone 10 his office.
 She had watched him from thc corner of her eye all afternoon and had made q private bet witt herself that before the day was ovei he would ask her 10 marry him And he had just as she had known he would!
 She had meant to take him, too to be inc mistress of his beautifu house.
 She meant 10 take him. now. But something deep within her . her conscience perhaps , spoke | for her.
 q don't love you," she said clear. f ly
 Tor a long moment Ulysses wa. silent, as he studied her face in the dim glow of the automobile lamps

 At last the meal was at an end. May cXhaled breath Of relief aa they left the inn and stepped Into the darkness again.
 'l shan't sec you again ever, ! suppose" sho said when they were back on tho Gregorys' white- pllared porch. "Goodby. Mir, For. gan"
 sho held out her gloveess hand,
 "Goodby' May" he answered quietly.
 And without taking her hand farewell he turned and went qulck ly down the steps,
 "l'll never see him again May said in herself, and suddenly she called him back 10 her

 But after he had written the let | ter, he tore 1t up. "No,' he said to himself. "Yo,l cant offer 10 make Il woman your wife, and then give her a job in yonr office, That won't do."
 He spent another day in debate with himself, and at five in the aft crnoon he called the Ciregorys' house and asked for May, The matt who answered the phone told him that Mrs Seymour had left at noon for Los Altos" May sat in the Pullman of west-bound train. and watched the bleak landscape streak by mile | after mile of flat land with here and there q lonely farmhouse.

but for some reason or other they moved. I guess they didn't like 1t as we'll as they thought they were going to-" replied Jenny.
 Did they raise family in there?" asked Peter.
 "No," said Jenny. "they moved before they had family. They moved quite suddenly"
 Are Skinner and Mrs. Skinner the Swallows occupying their old house?" Peter inquired.
 Again Jenny Wrenn shook her head. No" said she. they've moved to another part of the Old Orchard. But, goodness, cant stop here talking any longer, Tut, tut. tut, Peter, you're a dreadful gossip! If you had any household duties to take care of you wouldn't waste time sitting around talking"
 Jenny twitched her funny little tail and, turning about, she popped into her house, leaving Peter with such a funny look on his face, He was thinking of what Carol the Meadow Lark had told him. It cer- tainly was queer that Jenny Wren's onetime neighbors had all moved away.
