his nose to the ground he straightWay
began to sniff down the cowpath past
the bramble tangle. He found no fresh
scent of Peter Rabbit. He went over
the ground two or three times. It was
certain that no Rabbit had been alone
there recently. There was puzzled ex-
preston on Reddy's face as he looked
up at Mrs. Reddy, who sat grinning a:
him. Then without word Reddy made
complete circle of that bramblt

Nowhere did he cross the trail of Peter
Rabbit. Peter had simply disappeared
and Reddy and Mrs. Reddy looked al
each other with such crestfallen ex-
pressions on their faces as was laugh

It looked bad for Peter Rabbit. Yes,
sir, it looked bad for Peter Rabbit.
There he was with the use Of only
three legs in a little branlble tangle
in the Old Pasture, with Reddy Fox
crawling into it from one side to drive
him out and Mrs. Reddy hiding where
she could catch him when he did come
out. Things couldn't have looked much
worse for Peter Rabbit. You see, Peter
knew nothing about Mrs. Reddy.
Never in his life had Reddy Fox felt
more sure of a thing than he did that

Reddy would have Rabbit dinner. The
brambles tore his coat and scratched
his face. He paid no heed. He kept
right on pushing his way into that
bramble tangle. Once he closed his
eyes as he pushed his head through the
brafnbles. When he opened them again
Peter Rabbit had disappeared. Reddy
blinked several times to make sure. But
all the blinking in the world wouldn't
make q Rabbit where no Rabbit was.
Peter simply wasn't there.
Reddy looked eagerly to see If Mrs.
Reddy had caught Peter. There was no
sign of Mrs. Reddy. He couldn't see
Mrs. Reddy and he couldn't see Peter.
But one thing was certain and that was
that Peter was not where he had been.
Reddy looked around in the bramble
tangle as best he could. He could see
nearly all Of it. There was the stump
of small tree with lot of dead leaves
around it, but he could see both sides
Of that little stump. Peter must have

The bill, patterned after one which had been deemed successful by the State of Indiana, is designed to prevent the operation of certain electrical ap- hliances, in the evenings, and au- thorizes municipalities to pass such ordinances as make it effective.
