If Peter Rabbit didn't know eN- actly where Bob White was, Bob White knew exactly where Peter Robbit was. Long before Peter drew near the place where Bob was tell irg all the Great World Of his hap piness, Bob saw him.
 Hes looking for me" chucklod Bob. Hes come straight from the old Briar- patch. He heard me whistling and he couldn't stay a, home after that. l know just what he thought He thought he could come straight to me by following the sound of my whistle We'll. I'll have to play little joke on Peter. I'll have 10 teach him a lesson.'
 Now, at this time. Bob was not sitting on the fence post. He was on a lower rail of the fence. It was from this that he could see Peter. Peter wasn't looking so low down He was looking at the posts and the top ralls. Presently Bob slipped down to the Ground. Peter was quite near now. Bob began 10 whistle softly instead of loud as he had been Whistling He whistled the same notes, 'Bob-Bob White. Bob Bob Whitei" but to Peter they sounded as if they were coming from a farther distance than they were. So presently, Peter went right past Bob White without seeing him. Bob chuckled softly and waited until Peter was some distance off before he whistled again. Of course, Peter knew at once that he had gone past. He came hurrying back ly and, as before, it seemed 10 P"- ter to come from greater distauc" than was really the case. So one more Peter ran past and once more Bob White chuckled.
 Presently Peter began 10 lose pa tlencc. He suspected that something wasn't quite right. He didn't suspect that Bob White was having fun al his expense, but he did think there was something peculiar about that whistle. When he listened to it from the dear Old Briar- patch It had seemed to come from the same place always. Now he couldn't tell where it did come from. Could f 1 be that Bob White was running around on the ground? Peter thumped the ground with his long lrndfeet-d way he has of doing when he is angry or impatient, or wants to signal some one. He did it l LOW because he was impatient. Per. haps without really knowing it, he was q little bit angry.
 Bob White heard that thump and he guessed what it meant. He chuckled more than ever. He squat i ted right down where he was and once more whistled. All at oncc~Pc- | ter turned and came straight to- ward Bob. Bob didn't whistle again just then. Along came Peter, lp- perty-lipperty-lip, looking this way and locking that way eagerly. It | looked for d minute as if he might step right on Bob White He didn't. but he passed very close to him. He passed because he didn't see Bop at all, although he looked right at him.
 How Bob did chucklc inside. He was having d lot of fun at Peters expense. He knew just why Peter hadn't seen him. He had fattened himself down and had spread his feathers in such a way that he looked to be a part of his surround ings. He didn't look like a hand some plump quail at all. It really was not surprising that Peter had not seen him.
 Bob waited until Peter was begin ming to wander about aimlessly some distance away. Then once more. he began 10 whistle Bob - Bob White! Bob--Bob White" This time Peter sat still for a long time listeEins. He was trying 10 make certain just where that whistle came from. Copyright, 1929, by T. W. Bureoss)
