It IS the ones who know how and when to make use of other people that get along farthest and fastest in this world. It took Peter Rabbit quite q while to discover this, but once he did discover it, he peyer forgot 1t. Making use of other peo pie has saved him more than once.
 Once Peter was safely in the old hramble-tahgle over there in the Green Forest. he turned to watch the t!ght between Reddy Fox and Whitey the Snowy Owl. But he was disappointed. You see, by this time ,he fight was over. Whitey and Red dy had separated. Whitey was snap ping his bill angrily and Eeddy was growing and snarling; but they were. taking great care to leave each other alone. Each had had enough.
 Presently Whitey flew away. He knew that it was useless 10 sit there and watch Peter Rabbit. Peter watched him disappear among the trees of the Green Forest, and sit h. eu Wllll Iscuby HOA tdIlit oNti close to the bramble- -tangle and snarled at Peter. If that white rob Der hadn't interefered. I'd have had you, Peter Rabbit" said he.
 Peter grinned. "Perhaps," said he
 No perhaps about it. snarled Reddy, I'd have had you; and I'll Eet you yet. There1l come day when I'll get you" With this Reddy turned and walked away. He, too, knew that it was useless to hang around that bramble-tangle.
 Peter took good long rest. He felt that he had had excitement. But after he was rested, he began to think of the dear Old Briar-patch. He wished he was there. Somehow the Green Forest no longer seemed 50 attractive. In the Old 1}riar- patch Reddy Fox couldn't get him, Whitey the Snowy Owl couldn't get him. No one could get him. but Shadow the Weasel. or Billy Mink, and neither of these were likely 10 go away over to the dear Old Briarpatch.
 But It was a long way over to the dear Old Briar-p patch across the open enow-covered Green Meadows. After his recent frights, Peter didn't feel 80 sure about getting over there safely. In fact, the more he thought of 1t, the more he dreaded that run across the open. He was still trying to decide whether it would be safer to go by daylight or by night, when who should he see come trntting along but Bowser the Hound, In an instant. Peter had great idea. Yes, sir, Peter had a great idea! lie would get Bowscr 10 help him 10 get over 10 the dear old Briar~ ratch. Now wasn't that q great idca? How do you think Peter did fl?
 Peter waited until Bowser had almost reached the hramble-t -tangle. Then he hoped right out in front of Bowser. For just a second or two Towser stared at him. as if he just couldn't believe such impudence. Then with q roar of his great voice he started after Peter. Of course away went Peter, lippcrty- -lipperty- lip, After him went Rowser, his great voice ringing through the Green Forest and across the snow

 Rusty was sitting at the other end Of the room, She turned around and saw us and then she slipped her shoe off her foot and threw 1t at Freddie"
 And Freddie got hit" said the young pitcher. "Oh, he did?" 'Yes, sir" Betty informed him, "rather hard. He sat down all of a sudden"
 Let me get this straight" said Clayton. You, Margaret, were over on this side Of the room and Eliza beth was over there with Freddie?"
 Yes, that was true.
 And you threw all that way and hit him ?"
 Yes"
 Weren't you afraid of hitting your sister? Their heads must have been fairly close together
 "I took good aim." said Rusty.
 "Oh, sec" John Clayton could maintain his gravity no longer. He threw back his head and laughed long and loudly. The twins, per- ceiving all danger of calling down had vanished, joined him.
 Well" he said finally, you did exactly right under the circum- stances. I congratulate you. And TOW about Mike Hennegan."
 To go back to Mike Hennegan and lis elevator job at the hospital on Long Island. Mike, as Nellie Dow hing well knew when he had been given his job. had great failing. That was his weakness for the game known as craps.
 In several of his letters Prof had mentioned Mikes kindnesses to John Clayton and the twins and Clayton had made up his mind that here was another person who had done some thing that entitled him to some kind of reward.
 On one morning when he should have been running his elevator, Mike was down in the basement shooting craps with some of the engineers best assistants. It was not the first time since he had been on his new job, and. the superintendent reflect cd sadly when he came upon them, it was not likely to be the last, and that was why he would have to fire him.
 Mike was In the midst of an elo- duent appeal to the dice to turn over and be good and to show eight spots for him.

 The superintendent shook his head sadly. T am afraid, Mike" he said, that you've had your last chance. A week from today we get a new man for the elevator"
 ''Yes, sir" and Mike saluted. Don't blame you" That evening he was in Bellevue hospital, talking to Prof and Mol lie Elwell, Ho had plenty of time on his hands now. he announced 1 cheerfully, and they could call on 1 him at any time if they wanted him to do something. Prof began to think. Mike" he said, "NIr. Clayton of Indianapolis l that's the uncle of the twin girls we | raised, you know-has written to me and told me that If there's anything he could do for you he'd like to do it. He suggested that you come home with Jim and act as sort of male nurse and bodysuard for while. Now. since you're out of job. would you like to do it?" "When," asked Mike, do we | leave?"

MAN WHO TRIED
JAIL BREAK HERE
SENT TO PRISON

Theodore Anderson, who last week
tried to help Charles Herman escape
from the Douglas city jail, was sem
fenced to one, year in the state peni-
tentiary by the superior court of CO.
chise county at Tombstone Tuesday.
Anderson's sentence was pronounced
in less than a week from the date on
which he tried to arrange, the Jail
break by smuggling hacksaw and
blades to Herman.
The jail break was frustrated by
officer Sam Hayhurst, who heard the
rasping of the saw and made an in
vestigation at the time when Herman
was ready to snap the sawed bars.
Herman is being held in the local Jail
awaiting trial for cashing bogus
checks in this and other cities. An
derson, who knew Herman before the
latters arrest here, smuggled the
hacksaw to him while visiting him at
the jail.
