Hope and Despair.

At last he was sure that Jimmy

those whose spirits rise easily. They
had risen now. He was filled with
hope. sure that he was going to es-
cape after all. He started to poke his
head out into the hall for q look up
toward the doorway when a sound
below him made him dodge back in
dismay. One of those other Skunks
was coming up the long hall. He,
too, must have made up his mind to
have look outside. Peter could hear
him shutting along up the long hall.
Hope gave way to despair.
Would this fellow pass without no
ticing him squatting in that little side
room? Peter felt that this was too
much to expect. Once more he held
his breath in suspense that was little
short of despair. That Skunk was
almost to the opening now. Just
short of it he stopped. 1t seemed to
Peter that he must, simply must,

So Jimmy had early taken posses
sion OF this old house as cold weather
approached. using it whenever he
happened to be near there and feel
like a nap. When he met one of his
now nearly grown children he passed
slong word of that old house as a
place where they could sleep together
in comfort through the very cold
weather, and when there was too
much snow for getting about easily.
So it happened that at the time Peter
Rabbit sought shelter there from
Reddy Fox there were four Of Jimmy's
family with him in the bed room dens
below. Sleeping together this way
they kept each other warm, although
this was not really necessary, for that
bed room was too far underground
for Jack Frost to reach it. Not only
this, but each of them had a fine fur
coat and under this layer of fat.
They were very. very comfortable
down there, and, all things considered.
they got along together very well.
1t Just happened that they had
awakened after long sleep the very
night Peter Rabbit sought shelter in
that house. 1t was Peters bad luck.
Had he been there the night before
he would have found Jimmy and the
others sound asleep. Now they were
awake and Jimmy had taken it into
his head to have a look outside.
Now, half way to the entrance he had
stopped and there he remained. He
couldn't make up his mind to 60 on
and he couldn't make up his mind to
go back. And all the time, unknown
TO Jimmy, so close that he could
have touched Jimmys tail, Peter Rab-
bit sat holding his breath, or trying
to, in little sort of room at one side.
It seemed to Peter that Jimmy
never would decide what to do. When
at last Jimmy did move on toward
the doorway outside of which Reddy
Fox waited, Peter breathed more easily
and hope sprang up. If Jimmy went
outside perhaps Reddy Fox would 90
away. He could hear Jimmy talking
to himself, whining and complaining.
and presently by the sound he knew
Jimmy had reached the doorway and
was looking outside. He was filled
with hope now. He felt sure that
Jimmy would 60 out, and il he did
Peter was equally sure that Reddy
Fox would 60 away.
"Then I'll get out before Jimmy re-
turns," thought Peter. "and once I

heads. The titmice are further en-
bellished with crest.
Look for these folks in the woods
when it is nesting time. Holes that
the woodpecker dug out with such
vim and vigor last Spring may be
taken, hollow stumps or such places.
Mrs. Titmouse Is fine collector Of
soft moses. leaves, strips of bark
and horsehair for the cradle mattress.
On this she places from five to eight
eggs that are literally sprinkled with
reddish-broWn.
You may be able to see this fellow
in the South and the West and only a
few of his chickadee cousins. He is
rather friendly during the Winter and
comes cheerfully to your cafeteria.
He holds himself with an air of COM
plete satisfaction with the world and
impresses you with the feeling he
knows he is good looking chap and
very charming to have around.
He Is most often seen in q small
group of handsomely dressed asso-
ciates. 1t is believed this is a family
group. He and every member Of his
family are almost consumed with
curiosity. 1t crops out in funny ways
when the mother is having to build
an ample-sized nursery. Then she be-
lieves that anything she can carry to
her choice building site is hers.
The call of the titmouse is two
syllabled, whistled and melodious. 1t
is often repeated several times. Some
have called the sound "peto," others
"tur-ve' that is why the bird has
been called by these names. So be
sure and look, watch and listen for
the gay fellow. with his handsome
crest and endearing ways, from now
on.
