compared with himself. that 1t had
seemed that they must be as danger
Gus to Rabbits as they were big.
But there was Old Jed Thumper the
gray old Rabbit, calmly eating within
q few feet of one of those Cows. and
Wigglenose was smart enough to
know that no Rabbit who had lived
to be as big and gray as Old Jed
Thumper would be taking aAy such
chance as that If there was any real
danger.
So now, a bit timidly at first, but
with growing confidence. he ven-
tured out into that open space and
began to eat. In short time he
quite forgot to think about those
Cows. Somehow. just knowing that
there was another Rabbit near. even
though a stranger, made him feel
better. II took away some OF that
lonely feeling he had had. Presently
he found some clover and settled
down to eat his fill of It. He was
startled by a loud thump that
caused him to sit up quickly. He
knew that that thump had been
made by Rabbit. but there was
something in the sound OF 1t that
gave him a feeling Of fright. There
was anger in that thump. Yes, sir,
there was anger in that thump, just
as you sometimes hear anger In a
voice.
He looked over at Old Jed Thumper,
for he knew that he must have been
the one who thumped. Old Jed was
looking straight at him, and that look
wasn't a pleasant look at all. There
was anger in Old Jed's eyes. He had
Just discovered the presence Of Wig
glenose. Again Old Jed thumped,
and this thump sounded even angrier
than the first had. Wigglenose hastily
looked all around to see what was
making that big old Rabbit so angry.
Then suddenly he understood.

appears that a great many other

If you had a howl
Like the pumas that prowl
Through their Central American

You might when you needed a dinner
At the close of hungering day,
Make your whereabouts known
In a bloodthirsty tone
And scare into spasms your prey.
But when, as the shadows grow longer
And you search for your evening
repast,
When yearning you feel
For nourishing meal
One song will perchance be your
last
Never think that so fragile a creature
Proclaiming his plans in advance
And shrilling song
AS he hurries along
Will have even a Chinaman's
chance.
Come quietly in through the window,
In silence fit over my bed,
Sink your fangs in my neck
Then speedily trek
And / shall not arise and see red.
But herald your coming with music
While over my visage you soar
Emit one single note
From your frail fragile throat
And vnu never will bite any more

California coast.
In general. barracudas make their
homes in the tropics. but some swim
in the North Atlantic. They are
caught as far north as the Shetland

dried and salted-to be sold as tood

The barracuda is a long narrow
fish. and is very different from
another FISH of which l want to speak
today--the skate.
Skates are wide. almost fiat. and
have long. thin tails. AT first sight,
you would hardly class them as fish,
but they have gills and fms. and
strangely enough are related to the
shark family.
Some skates are only foot or two
wide. but others reach a width of 6
feet and are Of about the same length
They favor shallow places, and stay
near the bottom. feeding on small FISH
and oysters
The skate is an example OF rather

In South America whose foot had
