Peter couldn't find Welcome Robin although he looked all through the Old Orchard and went Up almost to Farmer Browns door yard. Finally he gave up in dis gust, and returned 10 the Green Forest. The first person he met was Striped Chipmunk, Have you guessed yet who it is that wears fur and goes to the Sunny South in the winter?" Peter asked.
 Striped Chipmunk's pockets in his cheeks were stuffed so full of beech- nuts that he couldn't have spoken to have saved his life. All he could do was to shake his head, and he did very hard indeed. Then he hurried on. Then in turn each of the other members of the Squirrel family came along, and when Peter asked the same question each one shook his head. By the time Peter got back to the beech trees he was sure that no one there was any wiser than he and most of them were pretending that they didn't believe a word of what Welcome Robin had said Peter himself was just a wee bit more honest. Welcome Robin had sounded as If he believed what he said and Peter was inclined to think that he did. This made the puzzle the more provoking. for Peter knew he ought to know just whom Vel. come Robin was thinking of.
 Peter soon found that the others were less interested than he. They were all so busy with those beech nuts that they couldn't think of much of anything else. Peter, hay ing nothing else to do and not being interested in beechnuts, could dc nothing but sit there and puzzle. He kept naming over and over all the animals he could think of, and there wasn't one-no, sir, there wasn't one that would go very far from the Green Forest or the Green Mea. dows. He knew this for an ab. solute fact.
 Jolly, round. red Mir. Sun started to bed behind the Purple Hills. The Squirrel cousins all went home for the good nights rest they had earned. Only Buster Bear, and Lightfoot the Deer. and Bobby Coon and Ehc' Billy Possum remained Peter watched them still eating and wondered how ever they could hold so much.

 To this the king readily agreed, being full sure that no one had ever returned from this perilous quest.

Your Health How to keep It--
 Causes of Illness
By DIR. HUGH $. CUMMING Surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service


 Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service
 Meat which you use on your !, table passes through three changes before 1t becomes unfit for use. Freshly killed meat is usually ten- der and dgestible. Almost mmedi- ately, however, meat begins to change,
 It gradually toughens until 1t reaches stage where il is too tough to chew. This is followed by another stage which is in reality the beginning of those changes which later we describe as putre- faction. {
 lt%ould be better if we could al- ways get our meat immediately after it is killed, but in the present stage of our development this IS impossible. This forces us to resort to refrigeration and cold forage. The more carefully these processes arc carried out. the safer our meats are for food.
 Nor must we forget that the ,ll- innate consumer should cook his meat as soon as possible after pur- chase. In hot weather, the ice box ill the average home, while a most valuable and perhaps indispensable household article, is not kept cold enough to keep food especially meats and fish, even when these are fresh, for but very short time.
 Fish spoils More Rapidly
 Fish spells more rapidly than meat, particularly in warm weather. If fish is not properly kept. that is, kept very cold. not merely cool, it may become unfit for consump- tion within few hours after it is caught.
 If possible, fish should be frozen. If 1t is not possible to keep fish frozen, the nearer 1t is brought to freezing temperature the better. The Ideal plan is to cook and eat your fish at once, The more quick | ly fish can be conveyed from the water to your table the better. Unfortunately fish are not always l properly cared for on their way 1 from the source of supply to the consumer, If you live in inland towns you should know the history of the fish with which you are served. When fish Is caught 1t is often thrown into a boat, sometimes on ice, but all too frequently not
 Afterwards it lies, sometimes in l ice, sometimes not, for several hours or even days before 1t reaches l the wholesaler. | At the wholesalers where 1t is unloaded, fish may lie for 8 longer or shorter period of time, some- times without ice, sometimes thrown on top of broken ice. usually ex~ posed to the air.
 When it comes into the hands of l the retailer in a local market it is> again re-iced and kept upon the iced until you purchase it. This fish, de- pending on how efficiently refrigera- tion has been carried out, reaches you either in g. state of perfection I or putrefaction, sometimes in the latter. You practically never get 1 fresh fish.
 Cooking, if done thoroughly, less sens the effects of the beginning putrefactive changes, but if fish is badly tainted or spoiled, neither cooking nor any other treatment | will render 1t safe.

-WelCome Ropln.
 Buster Bear had stated that no animals ran away from Jack Frost and Tough Brother North Wind, as so many of the birds do. Of course they don't exactly run away, but they fly away, and that amounts to the same thing. Welcome Robin had overheard the remark, and he hadn't liked 1t. He had promptly replied that he knew one animal who didn't stay through the winter, but went down South like the birds. Then off he flew, leaving the others to guess who 1t was he meant
 Tt is no such thing" declared Buster Bear as he munched beech nuts. T don't doubt there are some animals who would like to go South, but the Sunny South is too fer away for us folks who wear fur. If any of us ever get down there we never could get back again."
 For a while everybody was so busy trying to think who it could be that Welcome Robin meant that no one said word, In their own minds every one thought that Bus ter Bear was right. Peter sat under q hemlock hough and watched Bus ter Bear, and Happy Jack Squirrel, and Rusty the Fox Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel and Striped Chipmunk. and Mrs. Grouse and Lightfoot the Deer picking up sweet little beechnuts, and all the time he was turning over in his mind the names of all the people he could think of except the feath- cred folk, and for the life of him he couldn't think of one who wouldn't be right there in the Green Forest. or on the Green Meadows, or in the Old Pasture or in the Old Orchard during the winter. Finally he started off to try to find Vel come Robin. He meant to ask Vel come Robin right out. Welcome had sounded as if he really meant what he said. but Peter. who thought he knew everybody. was stuck. and he had 10 admit that he yas stuaA

A Flare of Jealousy Hartlens
 SIadge's Heart

do not know that l ever have experienced more strenuous five minutes of mental struggle than that which I underwent while de- batting the advice of Mother Graham had given me concerning my fath- CTS gift.
 My heart urged me to follow my first impulsive instinct, when l saw the check for two thousand dollars which my father had sent me, and telephone Dicky the wonderful news that he might feel relief from the mysterious financial worry which was his. Always since we were married I have flown to him with my joys and sorrows, keeping from him only those secrets which are not mine to tell. and which per- tain for the most part to the gov ernemnt work in which I have aid cd Lillian. It seemed rank disloyal- ty to my husband to keep from him tho knowledge of this Providential windfall.
 But my common-sense and my experience counselled caution and the following of my mother-in-laws advice. If Dicky really were in- yolved in some foolish scheme, the gift to him of this check would only be illustrating the old proverb of throwing good money after bad. Far better for me to keep 1t in re- serve, using it 10 make up any de- fciencies of income caused by Dickys troubles.
 Another and less worthy impulse stirred me. Dicky had given me only the vagnest hints Of financial stress. Yet he had written his mother in response 10 her appeal for dress funds, a letter explicitly stating the necessity for retrench- ment and even planning to dismiss Jim and Katie after their years of faithful service. And, more stlnging still, was the memory of sentence I had overheard from Edith Fair faxs lips when we were all at the Durkee home at the time of Moth- VT iFhudlH ; HIll1SS*
 Junior Is Naughty
 You ought to tell her, Dicky. Ii isn't fair to keep her in ignorance. |"
 The old tormenting jealousy rose within me and strengthened the case of my head against my heart. If Dicky could have secrets, so could his wife, I told myself hotly. At least, l would walt until my hus- bands promised visit and before enlightening him l would hear the explanation he had told his mother he meant 10 give me,
 The sound of excited voices in the hall oustide my door brought me out of my reFerie with a jerk. l could distinguish katies shrill
