PEOPLE AROUND HERE are

a comment or two about the puzzling

thing tangible should be forthcoming.
Of course, government red tape ac-

Peter felt that he must run. run
with all his might. He couldn't sit
still any longer. Then something
popped into his head-the memory
of a certain hole under an old stump
not far away. It was hole in which
he had hidden more than once be-
fore Two thick old roofs protected
the entrance No one could dig him
out once he was safely inside.
That's the place for me-" thought
Peter. Il can stay there the rest of
the night and 60 back home to the

Between him and the hole lay little
patch of moonlight. Across it Peter
sped as fast as ever he could, lip
perty-l -lipperty-lip. He just couldn't
stand it another minute to move as
slowly as he had been doing.
Across the silvery patch of MOON
light sped Peter and head first in
at the welcome hole under the old
stump. And even as he did so he
caught a backward glimpse of a
dark form leaping lightly out into
the moonlight. A horrid scream
rang in his ears, a scream that made
him turn cold with fear. Down to
the very end Of that hole he crawled

who made that shadow! It might
be Reddy or Granny Fox. 1t might
be Old Man Coyote If it was
either of these. Peter felt quite equal
to taking care of himself. He was
so used to them that he knew just
what to do to fool them and find
safety. But it might be Yowler the
Bobcat, own cousin to Tufty the
Lynx, and very much like him. If it
was-well, Peter shivered at the very
thought. Worse still, he had a feel
ing that this was just who it was
stealing along over there.
You see. Peter never had met with
Yowler and Ill ho knew about him

and his ways was what he had heard.
But this was enough to make him
very uncertain as to what he should
do. He didn't know how fast Yowler
could run or how far he could jump
He didn't know anything about
Yowler's way of hunting. And all
the time he had feeling, most
fearsome feeling, that the maker
of that shadow was Yowler.
After awhile the shadow disap-
peared Whoever. had made that
shadow had slipped back where the
moonlight could not reach him and
so make a shadow. Probably he

Bedtime Stories

What to do? That was the ques-
tion-what to do? Peter Rabbit felt
that he would be willing to give
much to know the answer. Should
he start for home, lipperty-lipperty-
lip, as fast as he could? Should
he keep perfectly still? Should he
tiptoe away and try to find hid
ing place near? Which would be
the wisest and best thing to do?
Peter tried to think it out, all the
time keeping his eyes fixed on that
moving shadow where the moon.

idea that YoWler hunts at night
mostly. I wonder if it really was
he who made that shadow.
Very carefully Peter stole away
He didn't rustic a leaf. He didn't
move a single tWig. He went slowly
so as not to. All the time he had
a feeling that back in the darkness
some one else was moving just as
silently and a great deal faster. He
wanted to run, but he didn't dare
to. At last the old stump with the
hole under it was only a little way
ahead. Peter could see 1t plainly.
A few jumps would take him there.

prepared for an addition to the bank

to the interior at an estimated cost of
$4,000.

accepted by the directors of the bank
definite date for the construction
start will hinge on weather conditions

the rear of the present building with a
large safety deposit vault in the new
part and new safety deposit boxes.
The plans also cal for complete re-
modelling of the main lobby with adj
ditional room for the patrons. A mez-

employees and the many machines
necessary to conduct the business of the
bank.
A transit check record machine is
now being installed by the First Ma

handling outgoing checks will be saved.
Under this system all accounts will be

be identified by this number only,
rather than having detailed hand

The patron is asked to keep an &C
curate account in their record of all
outside items received, so that in the
event of loss of any check you can
ceive such item by the number given
you, according to notification sent
patrons some time ago.

$4,000 FIRE
RACES CABIN
AT BURLEY'S
Uncontrolled Grass Fire Ignites
Summer Home, Contents
at Lake Resort.

The fire department was called to
Burley Park Sunday where a grass fire
which was supposed to have been ex-
tinguished, destroyed a large cabin and
its furnishings.
1t seemed that workmen had been
burning grass at the resort, operated
by Mr.. and Mrs. William Burley, and
presumably had eXtinguiShed the fire
when near the cabin. The party retired
to another cabin nearby when one Of
the group saw the structure, near where
they had been burning the grass, in
flames.
The fire department was notified by
telephone and in the meantime, before
its arrival at Burley Park four miles
away, an effort was made to check the
flames which according to all indica-
tionS had started under the structure.
Before the department could get to
the spot, the cabin had been Quilted
Efforts to save adjoining cabins was
successful and larger loss was averted.
William Burnley, proprietor Of the
resort, estimated his loss at $4,000. This
included, besides the cabin and the
furnishings, two cupboard motors.
While the larger part of the depart
ment were at the Burley fire, another
alarm called the reserve firemen to
grass fire south of the city. 1t is
claimed that boys were burning grass
and the fire had gotten out of control
and was making rapid strides towards
the homes on the outskirts of the city.
The threatened conflagration was
soon placed under control and before
the first truck returned from the Burley
fire the fire south of the city had been
thoroughly squelched. No property
damage resulted from the second fire.
