"cter Rabbits Jumping Cousin Ry THORNTON ", BURGESS

Lead in something. What it he Matters not that l can see. Jack Rabbit. l Peter Rabbit prickled up his ears when Digger the Badger said that he had seen Peters cousin. Jack, out in the far west here he had como from, Peter was all curiosity at once Digger had exclaimed. How Ithat fellow can jump" Now, Peter thinks he is a pretty good jumper himself, and he is at once always interested in anyone who jumps. In his own mind, Peter had long been quite certain that his big cousin, Jumper the Hare, was the greatest jumper for his size in all the great world, excepting Timmy the Flying Squirrel He didn't consider that the latter counted, anyway, for he always had to climb tree before making one Of his famous jumps, Of the peoples who jumped on the ground, Peter was sure that his big cousin, Jumper the Hare, couldn't be equaled
 You ought 10 see Jumper the Hare. who lives in the Green For est. Jump" said Peter.
 T have seen him jump" replied Digger He is very good jumper, but his Cousin Jack out there in the far west would laugh at him"
 T don't believe it." replied Peter.
 Your honesty must excuse your lmpollteness," said Digger. q am not in the habit Of being told that l am not believed"
 T beg your pardon said Peter, hastily. Tt slipped out before I thought I am sorry; truly, I am, Mr. Badger. Of course, if you say that Cousin Jack is a better jumper than Cousin Jumper. 1t must be SO. It is hard to believe, that is all What does Cousin Jack look like 2"
 Oh replied Digger, "he looks like the rest of the family, only he has longer legs and longer ears. Jumper the Hare's ears are short compared with the ears of the Jack Rabbit"
 "Really?" exclaimed Peter,
 Really" replied Digger. And his legs, both his front legs and his hind legs, are much longer. That is why he can jump so. You ought to see that fellow start off in a hurry. He makes his jump way up in the air to look around, and then 1t seems as if he hardly touched the ground. He can jump about twice as far as Jumper the Hare. That is because his legs are so much longer, It is a lucky thing for him that he can jump that way, for goodness knows he has enemies enough out there"
 Does he dig holes in the ground ." asked Peter
 Didn't l tell you that he Is real- ly hare and not 8 rabbit at allr" asked Digger. You know, or you ought to know, that hares live on the ground and not in the ground. Jack Rabbit trusts to his long legs in times of danger. He has no use for a hole in the ground. Wolves and coyotes and hawks and eagles and owls are all the time hunting for Jack Rabbit and he has to be eVerlastingly on the watch. But after they have tried it once or twice they don't spend much time chasing him; he is too fast. They depend more on catching him by surprise"
 "fs he much hunted by those two legged ceratures called men?" in- quired Peter.
 Indeed, he is," declared Digger T don't know of anyone who is hunted any more. That's because
