Bedtime Stories
Peters Cousin Does His Part.

know from experience that there Otter

At first Jumper thought nothing o.
1t. Then a sudden dreadful thought
| popped into his head. If Old Mar
Coyote should 60 exploring along thai
Old Stonewall he would surely dis
cover Peter just as surely that woulc
be the end of Peter. "Oh!" gaspec
Jumper, and suddenly sat up very
straight.
Is Old Man Coyote hadn't seer
Jumper. Ordinarily Jumper wouldn't
have wanted Old Man Coyote to SEE
him. No. sir; that is the last thing
in the world he would have wanted
But now he did want to be seen, anc
it was all on account of Peter Rabbit
Il can't let Old Man Coyote 90 ovel
there" said Jumper to himself. "No
sir; I can't do that He certainly
would kill and eat Cousin Peter. anc
then I would always feel that it was
my fault. That is the way ! woulc
feel about 1t as long as I lived. must
stop Old Man Coyote somehow"
Jumper the Hare thumped with
those long hind feet Of his. He
thumped lightly. There is a great
difference in thumps. you know, espe-
cially in the thumps of members OF
the Rabbit family. Some thumps
mean fright. Some thumps mean
fight. Some thumps mean watchout
Some thumps are inquiring thumps
Some thumps are welcoming thumpS
Old Man Coyote knows all about these
thumps. The thump he had just
heard was not a thump of fright, but
rather thump of gentle warning. At
least that is the way it sounded to
Old Man Coyote. He stopped short,
with one foot uplifted. He turned his
head and listened. There it was
again. a soft thump.
1T must be that Jumper the Hare
is signaling to one of his family,
thought Old Man Coyote. I'D like to
catch Jumper. He is big enough to
llIdhc d SOOo uulIleT, anu L Certainly
would like to catch him. There was
no fright in that thump of his, so I'm
sure he hasn't seen me. That thump
came from right behind that little
hemlock tree over yonder. 1t must
be that Jumper is just behind it,
Old Man Coyote began to creep to-
ward that hemlock. He trod so softly
that not a leaf rustled and not SIN
gle tiny twig snapped. He trod as ii
he were walking on egg shells. He
crouched low and all the time he took
care to keep that little hemlock tree
between him and the place where
the thumps had seemed to come from
He was perhaps halfway there when
Jumper the Hare hoped out into
plain sight and began leisurely to hop
away. Old Man Coyote leaped for
ward.

by the steady washing of the sandy
foam.
When fully grown these sand dig
gers will reach size OF inches in
length and 4 inches in width. Their
siphon is short. The foot is very mus
cular and with it the clam may dig
quickly into the sand or leap nimbly
from foe. Starfish and whelks are
especially fond of clam meat.
Some fishermen. knowing we'll the
habits of these clans, even go after
them in deep water. They merely
poke long, sharp stick into the sand.
The moment the stick enters the open
gates of the clam, down close the
valves and nothing will persuade the
foolish one to let CO. So he is pulled
out of the water and dumped into a
basket. The other method is to dig
them at low tide with clam rakes or
shovels.

The Romance of Your Name.
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

THE exact origin of this well known
surname remains in doubt, but
some authorities maintain that Ro-
man knight and valiant follower of
William the Conqueror named Roger
settled in Scotland after the decisive
battle of Hastings in 1866. 1t is be-
lieved that because of the popularity
in pronouncing the name-calling him
Odger. then Hodger, that the name
evolved into its present form-Hodge
Among the early immigrants to
America bearing the name Hodge was
Nicholas, who came from Northum-
berland County, England. in 1858. He
settled in Rye, N. H. Other settlers
were William, Andrew and Hugh
Hodge. sons of William Hodge of the
North of Ireland. They came to this
country in 1880 and settled in Phila-
delphia. From this line descended
the Rev. Charles Hodge, eminent theo-
logan of Princeton, N. j.. who mar
ried the great granddaughter of Ben
jamin Franklin.
George Hodge, of Scotch Irish an
cestry, was brought to America in 1888
at the age of years. There are
numerous descendants Of George now
living in Massachusetts, and neighbor-
ing States. The Rev. William Hodge
came over from Aberdeen, Scotland.
in 1925 and settled in New England.
Andrew Hodge, who was born in
Virginia in It'll, accompanied Daniel
Boone to Kentucky. He returned to
Virginia, married Isabel Mcintyre, and
took his bride back to Kentucky, set
tling in Montgomery. County.
The Hodges of Scotland bear arms

very wide distribution. The genus
Mactra contains the largest bivalve
to be found on the east coast of the
United States. The rough life they
must lead seeking food and shelter
in the sand. besides being tossed about
by the surf, tends to make the adult
hen clam very muscular. The older
ones are, therefore, tough and it is
the younger generation that falls VIC
tim to the sand oven or the chowder
pot. Where these clans are very
abundant they are gathered in great
numbers to feed pigs and also to fer
tilize the soil.
