Peter Follows His Nose
BY Thornton W. Burgess

Who to his task himself doth lend
Will be triumphant In the end.
Old Mother Nature
Peter Rabbit reached the Green
Forest in safety. Then he began to
look for his cousin. Jumper tbs
Hare. The first enc he met was
Prickly Porky the Porcupine. Peter
dearly loves to be carrier OF news.
Have you heard that Jimmy Skunk
Is lame because some one attacked
him." Peter inquired.
Pfickly Perky merely grunted and
started up a tree. 1t was very clear
that Prtckly Perky wasn't the least
bit Interested in Jimmy Skunk.
A little farther on Peter met
Bobby Coon. Have you heard the
news. Bobby?" cried Peter.
do you suppose there is any one
who hasn't heard it," retorted
Bobby. you are little late. Peter.
a little late. Sammy jay has already
been here"
Peter looked little disappointed.
who do you suppose did It..
Bobby" he asked.
Some one who was willing to
take a chance, and who there is
who would want to take such 4
chance, I can't think" replied
Bobby.
Peter went along Pretty soon he
met Jumper the Hare. Before he
could open his mouth to ask Jump
er il he had heard the news. Jump
err said: Yes. Peter. I've heard the
news. Now who do you suppose
could have been so foolish 30
Il haven't the least idea re-
piled Peter. II wish l had. But I'm
going to find out. Yes. sir. I'm going
to find out"
How are YOU eoing TO find OUT"
asked Jumper. Il don't know" re-
piled Peter. Il just am. that's all"
So Peter continued on his way
through the Green Forest. asking all
the people whom he met II they
knew who had been bold enough 70
attack Jimmy Skunk. Always he got
the same answer-"No." He discoy-
cred that n was the talk OF the
Green Forest. You see, every one
knows Jimmy so well. and has so
much respect for that little scent.
gun he carries, that no one could
imagine any one being rash enough
to attack Jimmy. So the puzzle was
as much a puzzle S ever. Peter had
even gone as far in as the pond of
Paddy the Beaver without getting
even a hint as TO who II could have
been.
1t was after he left the pond Of
Paddy the Beaver and was taking a
short cut through a rather lonely
part Of the Green Forest that he
suddenly stopped and stretched his
nose out-that wahbly little nose of
his-and how It did wabble, Peter
was smelling. Yes. sir, Peter was
smelling
Il declare said Peter. "yt seems
to me | smell the scent Of Jimmy
Skunk. Now how can that be away
over here? Jimmy isn't over here
"ili dSii ' tfeH ONtT mere. he Wd&
hurt last night away over the other
side Of Farmer Browns. Perhaps
one OF his children has been over
here. or perhaps Mrs, Skunk has
been over here. but I doubt IT, This
is curious, very curious indeed. I
think I'll follow this UP. Perhaps
III find out something"
SO. very carefully. Peter began to
advance. All the time he was using
his eyes and his ears and his nose.
His eyes and his ear told him moth
ing. but his nose told him that some
one with the scent Of Jimmy Skunk
certainly had been over In that part
of the Green Forest very recently.
The smell grew stronger. And Peter
wondered and wondered. But he
was nervous. Yes. Peter was nerv-
