coming after Peter Run, run, oh, run,
Peter!" she kept crying under her
breath, just as If Peter was not run
ming as fast as ever he could.
But the moment Peter was safe in
side the dear Old Briar-patch, little
Mrs. Peter became indignant. Yes, sir,
have guessed it. She didn't even go
to meet him. She stayed right where
she was, at the end of the Old Briar-
patch, opposite to the one where Peter
had entered Presently she heard Peter
thump softly. She knew just what that
thump meant. 1t meant Where are
you, Fuzzy?" Peter always calls little
Mrs. Peter Fuzzy, for her name used
to be Miss FuzZytail. She didn't answer.
Peter thumped again little louder
She didn't answer. Then she heard him
the sound Of that thump that Peter
was getting anxious.
"It serves him right" thought little
Mrs. Peter. 1T will do him good to
worry little.
"oh, Fuzzy" cried Peter, I'm so
glad to be homel"
Little Mrs. Peter didn't say a word.
She sat there TINY with her back
toward him.
4Ou-you uOnG seem BlaQ 10 see
me-" Peter ventured.
Then little Mrs. Peter spoke. She
had turned to face Peter and she
opened her mouth to say great deal.
She intended to tell him Just what she
thought of him, and it was aplenty.
"You ought to be ashamed" she began,
and right then she saw that hurt leg
Of Peters, the one that had been shot:
All little Mrs. Peters anger melted
away. "Oh, Peter" she cried, you've
been hurtl Is 1t dreadful? How did
1t happen7 Let me see it. Who did it9
When was 1t done?"
Peter had TO grin in spite Of himself.
"Just minute, Fuzzy, Just q minute.
One question at a time"
BY this time little Mrs. Peter had
reached Peter and was rubbing noses
with him. You would never have sup
posed that only few minutes before
She had been angry. Then Peter told
her all about his adventures and how
glad he was to be back safe. in the
dear Old Briar-patch. And little Mrs.
Peter didn't even once say II told you

Manx Want Tailless Cats.

Worried over losing a distinction pc
culiar to itself the Isle of Man has
started a campaign to restore tailless
cats to the island. Champions of the
new cause declare that felines there are
developing fine, bushy tails instead of
stumps that have made Manx cats and
the isle of Man famous. T. S. Atkin-
son, veterinary inspector of the island,
says that it is difficult to find a real
Manx cat and sees real danger of the
breed dying out altogether. The Manx
Board Of Agriculture has voted to en-
courage the raising Of bob-tailed cats
by offering attractive PISCES for them at
shows.
