CHAPTER ~


TT WAS a strange and rather
spectacular thing for Olga to do
Offering Mimi part of her grand
fathers moneyif she would marry
me. But 1 was sure she was right
when she said that her inheritance
had made her uncomfortable, and
she took this way, in part, &c
square things. II shall tell Mimi
that she can have it If she Will
marry you"
I protested. Don't tie any
strings to it. She must be free to
decide"
"Are you afraid to put her to
the test, Jerry? If she loves you,
she won't question any conditions
may make"
But her pride
pride ?" With scorn, Peacock
feathers! Vanity: Everyone
in that family has been willing to
take things at my hands. If they
had been proud, they would have
worked their fingers to the bone
before they would have accepted a
favor"
knew that what she said was
true, and that I, too, had wondered
that they could take so much and
give so little.
Yet I argued with her. Defended
them. And at last said, desperate
ly, II will have nothing to do with
it, unless she is left free"
I, She was as obstinate as I, ''Then
I shan't offer it, Jerry. I am CIV
ing it to you as much as to Mimi.
And I won't have Mrs. LIE Brun
sharing it,
At last I weakened. 81 want
her to be happy. And I can make
her happy"
"Of course you can. Shall we
call it settled them"
There seemed nothing else to do
but acquiesce, yet was still
doubtful when she announced her
plans.
Mimi was to make her bow to
society in 10 days. Invitations
were already out to the dance in
the rose ballroom.
IT shall tell her then, Jerry. In
the library. And you shall be
there"
She was so sure that things
would go well with inc that I tried
to share her optimism. On the
back of my own invitation to the
ball, Mimi had written, "I am 60
ing to give you two dances, Jerry.
And we will sit out one of them.
I have a thousand things to say
to you"
On that hope I lived. I was
restless, eager. In 10 days, per-
haps, my world would change.
Yet when I allowed my thoughts
to dwell on Olga's fantastic
scheme I found myself liking it
less and less. 1t would mean that
must go to Mimi with my hands
empty. That she would give and
I would take -.
Yet I saw no other way out of
it.
Before the night of the ball, two
things happened-I had a letter
from my father in which he re-
fused to lend me money, and I dis
covered that Lionel had paid his
debts by pawning Bernices pearls.
I did not learn this latter fact
from Lionel.SI had gone to his
room after my visit with Olga.
He was not yet dressed for dinner,
and as I was ready, I sat down in
big chair by his table to wait
for him. There was a reading
lamp on the table which drew
around itself golden circle, and
just beyond the circle I was aware
of flash of vivid green. At first
I thought the light was playing
tricks on me: then I saw that an

NEW YORK, Nov. l8.-Mr. and

Europe today protesting complete
ignorance of the Windsors' plans.

Rogers, but it is true. We honestly
don't know what their plans are"
Mr.. Rogers, trim, athletic and
akable, said he had not seen or heard
from the Duke since the former
naonarch's proposed trip to this
country was postponed indefinitely.

say about the developments which led
70 the postponement.
He said he had known Charles E..
Bedaux, the efficiency engineer who
aroused a storm of labor criticism
when he came here to arrange for the
Dukes tour, for several years but had
had no part in the arrangements.
"We never heard anything about the
plans until everything was all ar
ranged" he said
In crisp accents, he denied that he
came here as an advance agent for the
royal couple.
DO you think" he was asked, that
they will come over within the next
few months"

that Peter would be driven out that
he didn't consider it necessary to try

didn't add to Peters peace of mind.

Peter with feeling of great relief.
Right then those Skunks began to

out at Reddy Fox. Reddy was grim

licked his lips in way that gave
Peter most unpleasant. shivery feel

he suddenly dash out, hoping to

do. The distance was too great. Peter
wouldn't be able to get there before

Peter Rabbit

~ ETER RABBIT was trapped.
- There was no doubt about it.
He had sought safety from
L Reddy Fox in an old hole OF
Johnny Chuck's, one that Johnny
hadn't used for long time. AS ne
entered it Peter was chuckling. He
was chuckling because he thought he
had fooled Reddy Fox. He didn't
know that outside Reddy was grim
ming instead Of looking disappointed.
And then Peter made what was to
him a dreadful discovery. That old
house of Johnny Chuck's was not
empty as he had supposed. Queru-
lous voices down below warned him
that Jimmy Skunk and some OF his
family were down there. 1t was then
that he realized that with those
Skunks down there and Reddy Fox
waiting outside he was fairly trapped.
At first Peter was in despair. In
way, Jimmy Skunk was friend. In
another way, he wasn't. Outside Peter
would have no fear Of Jimmy. In
side here it was different matter.
He knew that Jimmy is fond Of meat.
This was Midwinter, and then times
are hard with nearly all the people
OF the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest who are awake. What If Jimmy
should take it into his head to come
up for q look outside and find Peter
there? Peter Shivered at the thought.

Under the hood the perfect flowers
are scattered over a very thick, round

into the hood to see them. Hold your
nose as you do so. About this time
the large, cobbagelike leaves begin to
appear and unfurl. Sometimes they
are foot wide, with outstanding
nerves, and their stems supplied with
deep grooves. They, too, have an odor
all their own.
The breeze carries the malodorous
scent to sleepy headed flies, who
awaken from their Winter slumbers
and fly for miles to partake of the nec-
tar that has a combination of odors
likened to garlic, spoiled meat and
skunk gas well shaken together.
Sometimes you will even find the
gnats and flies, who are so delighted
with the fearsome odor, camped close
by under some dry leaves. While we

HE'LL GIVE UP PRETTY SOON
NOW AND GO AWAY" THOUGHT
PETER. WITH A FEELING OF
GREAT RELIEF.
Freddy knew all the time that
those Skunks are in here" thought
Peter as Reddy taunted him. "Oh,
dear, whatever shall I do? What
ever can 1 do? III wish I had
stayed at home in the dear old Briar-
patch. Anyway. wish I hadn't come
so far from the Old Stonewan. I
would have been safe enough there.
If those Skunks 60 to sleep again Ill
be all right here. I can stay until
Reddy Fox gets tired and goes of.
He won't stay around so near Farmer
Browns house in daylight. Those
Skunks are quiet now. Perhaps they
are going to sleep again. I hope So"
For some time it seemed as If they
might be asleep. There was no sound
from down below. Peter began to
breathe easier. He knew that in bad
weather or very cold weather Jimmy
Skunk and his family often slept
weeks at q time, or at least they
stayed in their den. But he also
knew that a warm spell even in the
middle Of Winter was likely to bring
them out, and he knew that even
when they did not come out they
often were awake, even as they had
been a little while before.
He kept close to the doorway so
as to be able to look out and keep
watch of Reddy Fox so far as possible.
