Peter looked a little bit foolish. He
looked just as he felt. You see, the
truth was that he was more curious

curious than ever. And he knew that
nothing would satisfy that curiosity
until he had seen and talked with
Happy Jack.

We'll. I'm not" replied Jumper.
I'm going on my way, but before

So Jumper bade Peter farewell and
Peter looked around for a place to
hide. He was bound that he would
wait and watch. He knew that he
would never be satisfied with knowing
SO little about the Happy Jacks and
their affairs. He watched Jumper the
Hare out of sight. Then he began to

feel little uneasy.

~ ETER RABBITS curiosity was
not satisfied when his cousin,
Jumper the Hare. showed him
L where Happy Jack Squirrel
and Mrs. Happy were living. No,
sir, his curiosity was not salts
fed. as he had thought it would be.
Instead, it promptly began to grow.
He was more curious than ever. He
had no reason to doubt his cousin,
yet it was hard to believe that the
Happy Jacks were actually living in
Farmer Browns little sugar house.
You see, Peter knew that they had
been living over near the edge of the
Green Forest in the early part of the
Winter, and he couldn't understand
why they should have come over here.
It was just at dusk that Peter and
Jumper arrived over by the sugar
house, so of course there were no
signs of the Happy Jacks. They go TO
bed early. They do not wait for the
Black Shadows to make everything
dark They do not like to be out in
the dark. In fact, they are afraid to
be out then. So they are always at
home early.
Peter knew this. If he wanted to
see Happy Jack, he would have to wait
until morning. There wasn't a chance
in the world that either Happy Jack
or Mrs. Happy would appear before
daylight Jumper the Hare suggested
that now that Peter knew where the
Happy Jacks were there was no reason
for staying there any longer
"Yes, there is" said Peter. II want
to see Happy Jack. want to talk to
him"
What do you want to talk to him
about?" asked Jumper.
II want to ask him lot of ques-
tions," replied Peter.

In dummy, discarding diamond from

the ten. West won with the king,
and for want of anything better to do,

queen and I won with the ace.
Now led the jack of diamonds,
West winning with the ace and play
ing another heart. I allowed this to
come around to my jack, discarding
small club from dummy. now led
the deuce Of diamonds. and when West
played low, successfully finessed the
ten. I next cashed the king of dia-
monds. East being unable to ruff.
II then led the deuce of spades up
to the queen in my own hand. The
five of hearts was played and ruffed
with dummy's six of spades, and the
king of trumps cashed. Now I was
down to the ace-nine-eight of spades
and poor West, sitting over me, held
the jack-ten-seven. I simply led the
last diamond from dummy and ruffed
with the eight. West had to overruff
with the ten, and was now forced to
lead up to my ace-nine, to give me
the last two tricks"

FUND" GROWS
FOR MORE THAN CENTURY

WASHINGTON, February =
Persons who wanted to have an
easy mind paid $5,885.69 to the
United States treasury last year.
BY so doing they took a load off
their respective chests and raised
the value of the national Con
science Fund" to 1921 ,867.65.
To this a resident of Sacrament
to, Calf, recently added $500.
These contributors never give their
names.
The Conscience Fund" more
prosa cally known as Document
126,42O, was started in 1911 when
an unknown individual sent SIS to
the treasury of President Madison
because he felt he had "defrauded
the government"
Before the year was over enough
money had been contributed by
guilty minded persons to bolster
the fund to $3.50 and it was
launched into perpetuity.
Although there were no more
contributions until 1927, every year
since then with the single excep-
tion of 1848, bad consciences have
increased treasury totals.
The money is set aside as "anon-
ymous contributions and included
