mouthfuls of fur from each other.
Peering out from behind a bush was
little Mrs. Peter. There was look Of
fear in her soft eyes. You see, she
knew that the stranger was bigger and
stronger than Peter, and she was
afraid Of what might happen to Peter.
Peter was no coward, but it wasn't
long before he realized that for once
he had met more than his match. All
the brave threats he had made to
himself were forgotten now. He did
his best, but his best wasn't good
enough, and it wasn't long before
Peter was looking for a chance to
break away and run. When the
chance did come he made the most
of it. Yes. sir, he made the most Of
it. He broke away and away he went,
lipperty- -lipperty-lip. and after him
raced the stranger
Now Peter knew the dear Old Briar
Patch better than did the strange
Rabbit, for the latter had been there
only couple of days and was not
thoroughly familiar with all the little
paths. So it was that after a while
Peter was able to fool his pursuer. He
made for a certain thick bramble-
tangle to which he had secret en-
trance. Once in there he would be

Size only seems to be the real dif-
ference you will have to look for, in
identifying the two yellowlegs. The
greater may be seen more often, but
the lesser yellow legs have the same
family habits.
Because some Of the lesser yellow
legs build their home within the limits
of the northern part of the United
States, they have been called Summer
yellowlegs. They build their nests
and lay 3 to 4 buffy eggs, the latter
part Of May or the first of June.
The upper parts of the plumage
are a brownish-gray. the head and
neck streaked with black and white.
The under parts are white and the
legs are yellow. In the Winter they
have less black in the wings and on
the back.

way of outwitting him. Perhaps I
can get some one to help me-"
So Peter didn't leave the dear Old
Briar Patch, but he spent a good deal
of his time keeping out Of the way of
the stranger. Whenever the latter
approached Peter would take to his
heels. Perhaps you can guess how
ashamed he felt to have to run. But
sometimes running away from trouble
is the part of wisdom, and it was in
Peters case. All the time he kept
turning over in his mind a plan that
had begun to take form.

there was no room in there to fight

A sorry sight was Peter. Big tufts
Of fur had been pulled from his coat.
He had been bitten and scratched.
One of his ears had been torn. But
If he was looking. he was still
sorrier-feeling. He had been whipped
in a fight and he knew what that
meant. 1t meant that this strange
Rabbit would probably keep the dear
Old Briar Patch for his own and that
he, Peter, would lose his home and
little Mrs. Peter as well.
