BEDTIME STORIES By :: T 1E%gHs2

joying himself as only Peter can when
he Is filling his big stomach with his
favorite food. For a while he quite
forgot everything else.
He had eaten about all that he could
when he discovered some one coming
very straight that he might see better.
ITS Bowser the Hound" muttered
Peter. We'll he can't catch me, so it's
all right. I can get over to the old
stone wall ahead of Bowser without
half trying. Perhaps he won't dis
cover me. I'll remain perfectly still. II
he doesn't find my tracks with that
wonderful nose Of his, he isn't likely to
see me at ALL"
So Peter crouched as fiat down as he
could. He couldn't watch Bowser when
he was crouching down. but he, himself,
was less likely to be seen. It was be-
cause he was crouched down this way
that he didn't see Flip the Terrier.
When Peter had sat up, Flip had hap
pened to be behind a tree. So 1t was
that Bowser was very near Peter when
he discovered Peters scent.
Bow, wow!" roared Bowser in his
great voice.
Peter knew 1t was time to 60. He
jumped to his feet and of he started,
lipperty-lipperty-l for the old stone
wall. Bowser couldn't run fast enough
to catch him before he could get there
and Peter knew it, so first he didn't
hurry. But suddenly there was sharp
bark from behind Bowser. and looking
back, Peter saw small black and white
dog coming like the wind. Then Peter
let his legs out, so to speak. How he
did run! AS ha ran he rolled his eyes
back and discovered to his dismay that
that little dog, which, of course, was
Flip, was gaining on him. He suddenly
realized that he was in a race for life
It was question if he could reach that
old stone wall before Flip could catch
| him.
He did reach that old stone wall but
Flip was right at his heels when Peter
dived into that hole. Indeed, Flip was
so close that he pulled some white hairs
out of Peters tail. It was one Of the
closest races for life that Peter ever
! had, and he had had many.

Race for Life.
Foolish he who e'er will take
Chances with his life at stake:


For some unknown reason Peter Rab-
bit was one of the last of the little peo-
ple of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows to learn of Flip, the new mem
Der of Farmer Browns family. Peter
usually knows all that Is going on. II
there are any strange dogs about Peter
usually knows it, But Flip the Terrier
had been living at Farmer Browns for
some little time before Peter Rabbit
found out about it. Perhaps that was
because Peter had been remaining at
home in the dear Old Priar patch more
than usual Peter finally learned about
Flip by unexpectedly meeting him.
Peter had been over in the Green
Forest and he was later than usual in
starting for home. In fact. it was broad
daylight when Peter reached the edge
of the Old orchard. He didn't know
whether to venture to cross the Green
Meadows to the dear Old Briar Patch
or to remain where he was. A glimpse
of one of the Hawk family sailing over
the Green Meadows settled the ques-
ton for him.
I'll spend the day over here where
I've got the old stone wall to hide In,
said Peter to himself So he hoped
along until he reached certain favorite
place in the bushes beside the old stone
wall. There he sat down and prepared
to take nap. Right behind him was
a hole between the stones of the old
wall. Peter had used it many times.
He felt quite as safe in there as he
would in the dear Old Briar Patch. He
spent most of the day doing and was
undisturbed. Once Striped Chipmunk
came along the old wall, but stopped
only long enough to say. Hello, Peter!'
then friSked along on his way.
Late in the afternoon Peter grew
hungry. On the farther side of the Old
orchard was a patch of sweet clover.
Peter knew all about it. He decided he
would go over and get some of 1t. He
looked this way, he looked that way,
to make sure that the way was clear.
It was. Away he went, lipperty-lipperty-
lip, and in few minutes he was en-
