~ ETER RABBIT had been a bit
- lonesome. He wouldn't have
admitted it, but 1t was SO.
i Then he almost ran into Jimmy
Skunk, and Jimmy was bit
lonesome, although he wouldn't have
admitted it. So they had this much
in common. They also had in COM
mon the fact that each had had it
made very plain to him that for the
time being he wasn't wanted aroma
home So it was that when Jimmy
Skunk suggested that, as neither was
going anywhere in particular, they go
together. Peter agreed.
Where shall we go?" asked Jimmy
u would like some sweet clover
confessed Peter ''and I know where
there is fine patch of it on the Green
Meadows The moonlight is so bright
that 1 hadn't dared go there TO-. fear
l might be seen by, Hooty the Owl or
Reddy Fox. If only you liked sweet
clover We could go together With
you along I wouldn't be afraid"
Jimmy grinned. Thank you," said
he. 1T is true that I have no special
liking for sweet clover, but where sweet
clover is I often find white grubs. and
II there is anything I do like it is fat
white grubs. So show me the way to
that clover patch"
OI1 tney started IN Ine moonlight,
Peter In the lead. Every few hops he
would stop to sit up and look and
listen. 1t was lovely out there in the
moonlight, but Peter couldn't help
feeling nervous, even though Jimmy
Skunk was along. So he kept sitting
up to look and listen, which after all
was right, proper and wise FOR that
was what he had been taught to do
when young And it was by doing it
that he had managed to escape all
his enemies and live so long.
But Jimmy Skunk ambled along
slowly without ever once stopping to
look and listen. 1t was clear that he
wasn't the least worried. He didn't
care who saw him. He wasn't afraid
OF anybody. So, without hurrytng in
the least, he ambled along after Peter
until at last they came to the patch
Of sweet clover.
Peter sat up then and looked long
and hard on all sides and listened
for any suspicious sounds. Then he
squatted down and began to eat sweet
clover. My. how good it tasted! But,
even in the midst Of his enjoyment, he
would suddenly sit up for look
around. 1t was the habit Of & life
time.

Meanwhile Jimmy Skunk was wan
dering about this way and that. Pres
emily he stopped and with his hands
dug down among the roots Of the grass
and clover. Then he pulled out fat
white grub which had been busily at
work eating the roots of the grass
Jimmy ate the white grub and began
to search for another. Presently he
found another. How he knew Just
where to dig I do not know. Perhaps
he could hear those grubs eating the
roots of the grass. Anyway find them
he did, and he didn't make any mis-
take. He didn't dig any holes for
nothing
Now Peter didn't have to move about
to get all he wanted to eat. He could
sit still, or almost still. and get all he
could hold. With Jimmy Ii was diff

that he took back with him many
plants. In the grounds Of the old es-
tates of Europe these plants hold an
honored place, and when they are In
full bloom the gates are opened that
many may come in and enjoy the ex-
quisite flowers.
From New Brunswick and Ontario,
southwark to the Gulf of Mexico and
westward to Ohio, this flower Is well
known. Some call 1t the calico plant.

1t is the mountain laurel. The deep,

it is said, who wish to join those in the

drink from these leathery leaves and
know no more. But the gay swallow
tail butterfly knows her offspring can
digest these tough leaves, and SO she
places her whole family on them. They
enjoy the food placed before them and
never a complaint is heard from the
consumers
The flower Is a clever mother. Her
pink saucer-like blossom hides 10 wee

Fine Hand Work Gives Distinction

gotten.
Fine hand work Is something that
never loses its appeal In France, and
the well-dressed French woman always
likes to wear a dress or blouse that has
acquired distinction and real value as
result Of beautiful hand work, rather
than through the addition Of expensive
and unusual trimmings.
Among the new dresses sent to us
from France to add smartness and dis
tinction to the Summer wardrobe some
of the most attractive and most thor
oughly French are made of fine silk
crepe finished with fine embroidery or
drawn work. The dress sketched Is
made Of cream -colored silk crepe-a
simple, sleeveless dress with matching
belt and a short-Sleeved jacket of the
same silk. Bands of f1ne hemstitching
and solid embroidered dots trim the
sleeves and edges Of the bolero jacket,
as well as the front Of the dress blouse.
Actually, there Is nothing very diff
cult about doing fine hand work Of this
sort. 1t is largely matter of patience
and precision. French women with a
little time to spare frequently finish
their own dresses with q touch Of fine
work Of this sort, and there Is no really
good reason why American women with
leisure to spare should not do the same.

FINDS
TONG CHIEFTAIN
LOST 20 YEARS
Once Famous Mock Duck
of New York Chinatown
Shot in Newark.
y Enfted Press

By United Press
NEWARK, N. j.. Feb. 29.-MocE
Duck, nationally known Tong leader,
who came from San Francisco in
the early COS and has been miss
ing twenty years, was believed
found today, the victim of an aSSas-
sins bullet, under the name of
Mock Sal Wing.
Mock Duck ruled over the New
York Hip Sing Tong until 1912,
largely as a result of influence won
during the vice and anti Tammany
crusades led by DR.. Charles H.
Parkhurst, almost forty years ago.
The Hip Sing leader, at that
time, told Parkhurst that the On
Leongs were mo good men who
thrived on wickedness," and the
doctor promptly led a series of raids
that drove the On Leongs out of
business. The Hip Sings replaced
them.
Rise to Power Costs Lives
The Tong wars that followed
Mock Ducks rise to power cost
about twenty lives before a truce
was effected in 1906.
Mock Duck reigned supreme for
a time. Then dark days came upon
him. His adopted daughter was
taken from him by the courts. His
home was set afire three times. His
gambling establishments were raid
ed constantly.
He was arrested for every muir
der of a Chinese, whether in New
York, San Francisco or Yenping-
Flu.
In 1912 the Mock disappeared-at
least so far as the tongs were o n
cerned. He became a business man
first in one city, then in another.
AT M time the Duck was said to
have died. There were reports of a
costly funeral.
Gambling Debts Blamed
Mock Sal wing has been leading
the Hip Sing tong in Newark'S
Chinatown since 1929.
Sunday night he was hit in the
neck by a bullet fired from a pass
ing auto.
Police got from him the name of
Eng Pong Quon, another member
of the Hip Sings, the man Mock
believed had shot him because of
gambling debts.
Police could not find Eng Pong
Quon at his home, but his wife
Margaret, a white woman, said he
had gone out ito buy some meat
for the dog"
