started running about, looking for
more nuts buried under the snow
How he knew where they were Peter
couldn't understand. But 1t was clear
that he did know. He would sud-
denly stop, begin to dig in the snow,
and presently up he would come with
a nut. He was so intent on hunting
for those nuts that he grew careless.
He got farther and farther away from
the trees.
Now. unseen by Happy Jack, Reddy
Fox had come stealing through the
Green Forest. The instant he saw
Happy Jack, Reddy crouched down
and didn't move. He kept his eyes
fixed on Happy Jack. Every time
Happy Jacks back was turned to him
he would steal forward swiftly.
He saw that Happy Jack was so
busy hunting for nuts that he had
forgotten to watch out. He saw that
Happy Jack was getting farther and
farther away from the trees. Reddy
grinned and licked his lips. Hunger
and eagerness showed in his eyes. If
only Happy Jack would get far
enough away from a tree Reddy knew
that he would catch him. You see
Reddy can run much faster than
Happy Jack.
At last Happy Jack started to dig In
the snow at some distance from the
nearest tree, and that tree was a
small one. Reddy waited until he
could see only Happy Jacks tail
above the snow. Then swiftly he
crept forward, his eyes fixed On that
big, gray tail.
1t was then that Peter Rabbit saw
him for the first time. You know
Peter was in the bramble-tangle look
ing out. Peter saw Happy Jacks dam
ger. His heart seemed to jump right
up in his throat. oh" cried Peter
under his breath Happy Jack will
be caught" Then Peter thumped with
his hind feet. 1t was his danger sig
nal.
Instantly Happy Jack popped out Of
that hole in the snow. OF course he
saw Reddy Fox, and of course he
started for the nearest tree as fast
as his legs could take him. OF course
Reddy Fox started after him as fast

was given a fine of $25 and costs
for drunkenness, and $50 and
costs for possession of intoxicating
liquors. making in all $193.50. He
and two others were in a machine
at Sayre raising disturbance, and
Grandstaff ran his machine into a
train at that place. No one was
hurt, but the car was damaged and
they telephoned here to a garage-to
go out and get them. Parties at
Sayre also notified officials here,
and Sheriff Newton went out after
them, but met them on their way in,
and took them before Mayor Henery
of Malta. Grandstaff's fine would
have been less severe, had he not
been abusive towards the officials.
He was placed in Jail following the
sentence, but upon making arrange
ments to pay, was released. The
Others who were with Grandstaff
were S. Sines and Grove Knox.

accepted to date. The results have
been very disappointing in this
