were so near Ii that Peter knew
that something must be done at
once or it would be too late. Some
where over there three pairs Of
hungry eyes were watching those
geese just as he was. Peter made
up his mind. He would thump, and
then he would run with all his
might.
Thumpl Thump! Thump! Peter
hit the ground with all his might
and hoped it would waken Honker.
Then without waiting to see he
started for the nearest bramble-
tangle as fast as he could go.
Slapl That was the tail of Paddy
the Beaver hitting the water. He
had heard Peters thumps and knew
what they meant. And at the sound
of that slap Honker the Goose
awoke.

A THUMP AND A SLAP

1T ALL sounds like dreadful
Il quarrel, doesn't it? But there
wasn't any quarrel at all. You see
1t was this way: Peter Rabbit sit
ting on guard near the pond of
Paddy the Beaver, where Honker
the Goose and his eleven followers
were sleeping, saw something NOV
ing among the Black Shadows
which filled the Green Forest.
Hello! What is that moving over
there?" thought Peter, but he was
far too wise to think it out loud.
He just thought it inside and kept
stiller than ever, if that were pos
sible. And all the time he looked
very hard in the direction where
he had seen, or thought he had
seen, a something moving.

THE autumn towering crocuses,

THE autumn Towering crocuses,
l. which are very much like the
spring crocuses but bloom late in
the year, come into flower only a
few weeks after they have been
planted. They are choice subjects
for the rock garden but may be
scattered through the border, too.
These autumn Towering crocuses
are often confused with other au-
tumn Towering bulbs called cOlchi-
Gums but the latter have very much
larger leaves, and for that reason
are not as well suited for the rock
garden because the heavy foliage
interferes with more delicate rock
plants. Colchicums. however, are
very handsome in the border.

Sure enough in a minute or two
he saw it again. He saw it steal
across from one Black Shadow to
another and he didn't need to be
told what that something was nor
who it was. Oh, no, Peter didn't
need to be told. Peter had seen
that shadowy. form too often not to
know it at the very first glimpse.
1t was Old Man Coyote. Peter felt
little prickles of fear all over him.

in the last five years baptisms on pro-
feSsion of faith have exceeded the total
