Peter Rabbit was badly upset. He couldn't think of anything but the handsome young rabbit he had heard about and the fact that little Mrs Peter down in the dear Old Briar- patch appeared 10 be getting along very nicely without himself In short, Peter was jealous. He wouldn't have admitted it. Good ness, no. But jealous people never will admit they are jealous.
 Peter looked disreputabe. You see, he hadn't taken care of himself up there in the Old Pasture. He had spent so much of his time run ming about recklessly and trying to forget little Mrs. Peter that he had neglected his personal appearance. But, then, Peter never was one to spend a great deal of time on his personal appearance. Presently now Peter began to fix himself up. There were burrs in his coat. He bit those out The fact is, without really ad- hitting 1t to himself, Peter was thinking about going back to the dear Old Briar-patch.
 It was true that little Mrs. Peter had told him when he left that he needn't come back, and Peter hadn't intended to go back. No, sir Petetr hadn't intended to go back. He had said to himself that if Mrs. Peter wouldn't come with him he never intended to go back there. But now things were different. At that time he hadn't known that there was any handsome young rab- bit about
 "The dear Old Briar-patch Is rather big" said Petter, as he sat talking to himself. T know Mrs. Peters habits so well that l would stay in the dear Old Briar-Datch and she not know anything about it. Yes, sir, I could keep out Of her way. I believe I'll 20 down there and md out what Is going on. I ought to be able to catch that fellow who's hanging around down there. If I do catch him he will be sorry he ever was born, l don't remember Fuzzy at all"
 Fuzzy you know. is the name that Peter calls little Mrs. Peter. who was Miss Fuzzytail. He went on with his toilet and when he found only one burr that wouldn't come out easily he bit at it just as if 1t were that other rabbit. My, you wouldn't have known Peter Rabbit. All his good nature was gone.
 "Ill go back there at dusk to- night" decided Peter. 'I'H take care to keep out Of I1u22ys sight and I'll just watch. IL IS going 10 be moonlight tonight and that fellow will be sure to visit the dear old Briar- patch"
 Peter suddenly sat up very straight A new and dreadful thought had hoped into his head. Perhaps that other rabbit was liv- ing in the dear Old Rriar- patch, not just visiting il. He may be liv- ing right there all the time" thought he. He may be using my private little paths that l took so much

 Out of my maze of conjectures l filed away several unmistakable facts in the compartment of my mental card index which l had de- voted to Eleanor Lincoln.
 The hoot of the owl had been q signalling call from a human voice.
 It was q signal familiar to the girl, and the sound Of 1t had so tegrorized her that she swooned.
 Without an instant's delay DiclIy had suspectcd-or known-what it was, and had dashed out in pursuit of the man.
 This companion Of the red-beard- ed man must be the more vicious of the two, and Dicky must be cogni- zant Of some real and imminent dan ger threatening the girl at his hands.
 It was with a feeling of angry re- sentiment against my husband that I finally went back to the veranda. A sinister mystery enveloped the per sonality Of a girl whom at his re- quest l was entertaining almost as an intimate of the family, and he was vouchsafing no knowledge con- corning it.
 As came through the hall l met little procession consisting Of Katherine, Marion and Junior, patently bound for the second floor. Junior was clinging to Marion's hand and eXcitedly reminding her of a promise to tell him "all about school" while Katherine was giving him necessary admonihon to lower his voice. l gave Junior his good night kiss, and then as he went up- stairs, Katherine whispered an amused warning.
 Mother Graham Is getting pretty tired" she said. "She wants to go upstairs, but you know her ideas. She won't stir until you are there to play the hostess"

Katie is by no means dull of per ception and l think she fully com prehended the real meaning of the caution 1 had gwen her. She knew, by my speech and manner though had carefully omitted any direct reference, that l had caught her in advertent betrayal Of her eavesdrop- ping upon Dicky and the red beard ed man, but the knowledge did not abash her in the least. She tossed her head and shrugged her shoulders with an air of being forced 10 desert a post Of responsibility,
 "All right, eef dot way you feel, remember" she said loftily, and ] left the kitchen with the innocuous and hurried advice that she go to bed. But l did not so directly back to the veranda. At the risk Of having my absence construed as a slight to my guests. l went into the library and sat down for minute or two setting into ny patchwork guilt of impressions concerning Eleanor Lin- coln and the oddly shaped pieces which Katie just had given me.
 Upon another occasion l had learned from my little maids lips that my husband had recognized the redbearded man as a former ac- ouaintance, probably Of his army ex- perience overseas.

 Kaue's report of Dicky's conver- Sation with the man gave me also the astonishing confirmation of my fantastic conjecture that he knew much of Miss Lincoln's identity and of the reasons for her terror Of the men in the shack. It was knowledge that he had not shared with me, and the remembrance of that fact and of is ill-concealed mirth, after his first visit to the shack housing the

 Inability to sleep under good con- | ditions is difficult problem and one which constantly receives medi- cal attention. The London Lancet considers, in a recent survey of the subject, the various causes of this disturbance.
 The term insomnia implies not only inadequate sleep but also fail ure to obtain sound and rcstful sleep. Three . pes of insomnia are 1 concerned: 1-Cases in which sleep is delayed in the beginning i 2-Slcep in which there are dis i turbing dreams 3--Sleep which be ! gins normally but does not continue because the sleeper awakens in the early hours of the morning and is unable to sleep again.
 { Disturbed Sleep Is symptom | Disturbed sleep is not to fc re- garded as a disease in itself, but as q symptom Of disorder somewhere in the body In some cases definite physical causes are found and bodily discomforts will invariably prevent satisfactory sleep. In other cases definite physical causes cannot be found and it is necessary to deter mine the psychical cause or the emotional state. whether anxiety. fear or depression, which acts as q mental irritant and interrupts sleep.
 Among the physical causes of dis turbod sleep arc pain. shortncss Of breath, frequent coughing itching. high fever, diGturbances of digestion, disturbance of the blood circulation and irritating poisons

hotel here Thursday afternoon at
O'Clock Bille Bragg, II, and Fred
Granholme, hotel electrician, were
overcome with sewer gas and lost
their lives,
Although being forbidden to enter
the tank until the water was lowered

attempted to go down and was over
come. Fred Granholme attempted to
rescue him and shared the same fate.
Harry Watkins volunteered to go
down for the men with a rope around
him but could not work and was
hauled out unconscious without q
mask
A car was rushed from the Maple
Leaf refinery, which William Bragg,
ST., used to bring out his own son

pronounced dead when brought to the
surface.

Wilcox pool.
The well is a diagonal offset to the

completed several months ago, made
several hundred barrels Of oil daily

the new well is not yet known, but
when drilled in, and after being shut

it flowed at the rate Of several hund-
red barrels.
A battery OF. tanks is being rushed
to the well to take care of the pro-
duction when it is opened, which
probably will be Sunday or Monday.
The well is an important completion
and is expected to stimulate drilling

Old News Made New To Us


A little late hearing this news,
nevertheless we are going to publish
this happening. While enroute to
Sunburst few days ago to attend
the circus. G. J. Riley, employed at
the OH City garage, loaded his fam
dly in a Studebaker touring car and
headed for our iieighborng city. Just
as they were going over the hill on
the outskirts Of the city the front
springs broke and locked the wheels
in such manner that the car turned
over twice, breaking the stearing
wheel completely. demolishing the
top, and the car looked like cy-
clone had struck it. The most pc
culiar part Of this was that Mr. Riley
had five passengers in his car, con-
sistiDg Of his wife and three children
and after the car landed and an in
spection was held. he found that not
one Of the passengers were Injured
in any way except for few minor
bruises. None Of the Riley family
being SCARED In anw way is probably
the cause Of the Review reporter
not hearing OF this accident.
