white dimity-beantifully Iaundered-

save that every time Ii thundared ne
had a sort Of queer feeling inside. He
locked up. The face of jolly. round, red,
bright Mr.. sun had disappeared be-
hind a cloud. II began to grow dark.
II grew darker and darker, 1t was tust
as IL night we're coming on. And then
--spang,---a great big raindrop hit
Whitley right on his wabbly little nose.
Spangl came another. Whitley
crouched. laid his ears back on his
shoulders and prepared to get wet. You
see, there was no hole there TOT nun
to get into. While the bramnle-tangie
was a great protection from enemies. u
wasn't much protection from rain. HAD
there been nice little spruce tree rcar,
Whitley would have crept unoer uha'
and would have kept fairly dry.
My. my, my. how the ram GIG pour

Sometimes during a hard thunder
shower, All Whitley could do was to
shut his eyes and sit still. The lam
hit him ALI over. He could feel II rum
ming in streams off his back. At times
n came down so hard that 1t actually
hurt There was real sting to those
big drops. Whitley consoled himself
with the thought that it couldn't last
forever. ,
By and by the rain let up little.
II was lust a gentle rain for o while.
Then it stopped altogether. jolly. round.
bright Mr.. Sun peeped. out from behind
the clouds. Then he came out alto
gether. The drops of water clinglng
to the leaves sparkled like jewels The
birds began TO sing. The shower was
over and everybody was glad.
Whitley sat up and shook himself.
Then he turned his head TO dress his
fur, Such a shock as Whitley got! His
coat was Just as beautiful and white
as II had ever been. The rain had
washed of all the mud and all the
stains. There he sat In his real coat
once mora pure white Rabbit.
"Oh, this is where you arel" said
voice.
whitley looked up and his heart sank.
There. sailing back and forth just over
head was Whitehall the Marsh Hawk.
Whitley knew now that he was no bet
ter of than he was when he first en-
tered. the Old Pasture. He realised more
fully than ever what this white coat
of his was going 10 mean IN his Strug-
gle TO live in the Great World.
