Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Peter Rabbit sat in the far corner
OF the Old Orchard, where, under
an old apple tree, Johnny Chuck
has his home, and just as is always
the case when he goes there in win
ter. Peter had a funny feeling. It
was sort of a creepy feeling. The
fact is Peter never could get used
to, the fact that somewhere deep
down in a chamber at the end Of
that hole Johnny Chuck was asleep
and would remain asleep until the
coming of sweet Mistress Spring.
He knew it was so. Anyway,
everybody said it was so. Besides,
there never was a sign of Johnny
Chuck during the months of snow
and ice, but with the coming of
Mistress Spring each year Johnny
Chuck appeared in his doorway
very sleepy, very thin, and knowing
nothing at all about what had been
going on during the winter. So
Peter was forced to believe that
what everybody, including Johnny
Chuck himself, said was true must
be so. But that didn't help him

Leave Without Farewells,

Rud and Chiffan sat on a stile
on the hillside above the summer
school on their way to the junction
Time we went," Chiffan had said
before they start packing. Then
they'll have time to miss us and
talk you over
He had announced this decision
quite suddenly and they had paid

They proposed to go by train tc
Battling, where there was trouble
brewing in the minor gadget fac

himself and he also wanted Rud tc
see it. The stile tempted Chiffan
after the long path uphill and may
be there was something else, pulling
at him.
"You can't expect any one to say
good-by," he remarked, who doesn't
know you're going. You're not i'm.
pulsive, Rud."
Rud had nothing to say to that
"You know, Rud, you could be
vetted into pretty tidy leader. Into
very useful leader indeed for a
live new movement. You've got a
real passion. You speak uncom-
monty we'll"
Rud had felt that something o1
the sort was coming. He had felt
that for some days. He had already

Chiffan reused himself from pro-

to Rud's question.

He was all for vehement reprisals,
Never forgive bully. Mark your

years
You've got to attack. Your only
safety lies in attack. Choose your
moment for attack. Strike first at

HIS voice became scream.
Easy" whispered Chiffan,
The meeting was divided. There
was still a rather shaken minority
Tor non-resistance, but most of the
men and nearly all the girls were
with Rud, for fighting and fighting
bitterly. But the refugees said little
and the little old Jew shook his
mead. If you had my Magma
Carta," he whispered.
That night the summer school
talked long and late and loud, "And
wen we may" said Chiffan, "for
a1ter all, violence is the funda-
mental thing in life. AS old as hun
ger and earlier than lust.
Before there was even a beast:

Rud had noted the interest Of the
yellow-haired girl. had felt it even
when he was standing and speaking
with his back to her. had dreamt
about her; but he gave no sign.
You'd have started lot Of jealousy
and irritation among the girls. Even
If they didn't want you for them.
selves, they'd not have liked another
girl monopolizing you. And you'd
have just come down to competition
with the other men. Every man is
more or less jealous Of any man who
gets a girl. Even If she isn't his
girl. . That's one Of Lord Horatio
Bohun's disadvantages. He can't
keep his profile and his aristocracy
and his touch Of sex appeal out of
the picture. Maybe they won't let
him. Women disciples are dan
gerous animals. If hadn't felt
you were natural leader for 10
other reasons, I'd have known it
from your handling of those women.
Cool. Sure. I was q bit silly out of
school, admit-but all the time I
was watching you. One or two of
them said things about you."
Sort of Mystery About Him.
Rud could not resist asking what
they said.
Hes aloof,' they said. There's
sort Of mystery about him."
And then Chif1an produced one Of
those maxims for statesmen that
Rud was beginning to find charac-
teristic Of him.
"A political leader" said ChifYan,
Ito be successful, must either be ali
ice-cold bachelor entirely devoid of
sex appeal. a manifest cuckold or
the faithful husband of some ugly,
unpleasant or ridiculous woman
Run your mind through history. All
history stands for it. Napoleon, for
example; Caesar all Cleopatra s
bunch; Marcus Aurelius; Justinian;
Oliver Cromwell"
Rud looked anything but elated
It's part of the price of great
ness" said Chiffan. And, after all
it isn't as though you wanted them,
Rud."
No" said Rud, relaxing into his
primitive self, If I wanted them
Everything would be different -
said Chiffan firmly. But YOU
don't-either for show or use. Not
even out of rivalry
He regarded Rud, with his head
cooked on one side for a moment
and then confirmed his impression
