Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Once Peter Rabbits curiosity Is
aroused Peter knows no rest until
1t is satisfied. All the rest of that
night when Peter first heard the
voices of feathered friends coming
down to him from high up in the
sky he did nothing but sit around
listening and gazing up into the
starry sky until his eyes and the
back of his neck ached.
Little Mrs. Peter had heard those
voices, too. but she didn't waste any
time puzzling over them. She didn't
understand them, and that was all
there was to it. She was quite con-
tent to accept the fact that she
heard them and let it go at that.
But it wasn't SO with Peter. The
only feathered folk who fly by
night of Peters acquaintance were
Hooty the Owl, Boomer the Night
hawk and WhippoorwiIl. These
voices Peter had heard were voices
of friends of the daytime. friends
who always tucked their heads under
their wings with the coming of the
first Black Shadows.
The next day Peter said nothing
to his friends about what he had
heard, but just as soon as night
came Peter was once more sitting
just outside the edge of the dear
Old Briar Patch with his head
tilted back, staring up into the sky
and listening with all his might.
Again, out from nowhere at all,
came the soft voices of feathered
folk. Peter listened eagerly. He
recognized first one and then
another. There wasn't any room
for doubt BY and by Peter hap
pened to look straight at the Moon.
1t seemed to him that he saw a tiny
speck suddenly pass across her face,
and at the same time he heard one
Of those familiar voices.
After that Peter sat and stared
at gentle Mistress Moon, and every
now and then he was sure he saw
a Speck pass across her face. This
puzzled him quite as much as the
familiar voices coming down out of
the night. He forgot to eat; he
forgot everything, even to watch out
for danger. The result was that
Reddy Fox all but caught Peter.
If the dear Old Briar Patch hadn't
been close at hand Peter would
have been caught.
When, at length, day once more
came Peter had such pain in the
back of his neck from having stared
up into the sky so long that he
hardly knew what to do. But little
Mrs. Peter had no sympathy for
him. That's what comes of foolish
curiosity" said she.

TRAMB|TAS BOYS TAKE
 M|TT WINS

Fencing, boxing, and wrestling fans liked it all when they booed and cheered last night in the A. B.. Rink.
 Billy Spendolve outwrestled Tex Morrison. Jack Trambltas got a decision over Frankie Wilson, Larry Trambitas kayoed Red Wally in a technical; Hank Brouillette slashed John Beltran to the canvas, and in Nippon fencing, fans got rare treat.
 Spendlove got the first fall in the 4th round with a double reverse arm lock or something. Morrison got the second fall with full Nelson, and Spendlove put the bout away with a body slam and body press.
 Spendlove won the fight last night, but after an early round, he was a gory mess, blood flowing stead fly from a gash over his left eye and covering both fighters. After the fight he had seven stitches taken in the cut.
 In the last boxing match of the evening, Jack Trambitas outclassed Frankie Wilson handjly, although he was at times harried badly by wilson's strange leaping one-two attack that lost energy as the fight wore on.
 In the fifth Wilson went down with punch behind the ear, land ing on his knees. In the sixth, he went down twice for nine counts, but was still trying to fight at the end of the battle.
 Red Wally was no match for Larry Trambitas. He got in very few punches and had poor luck in de- lending himself
 Wally was hurt in the first round Of the four canto fight, and was hammered to his knees for the count of seven in the second.
 In the third, he went down for five counts, refused to take the full breather and came up bloody to keep on battling. but right to the jaw put him down again and Sammy Nelson stopped the fight.
 Biggest surprise of the evening was handed fans in the first bout when Hank Brouillette and John Beltran battled briefly.
 Brcuillette, coming into the ring with an injured hand, surprised everyone by fighting two handed battle from the bell.
 Beltran, usually shifty, walked right into a left and came back for another without his touted ability to move out of the way.
 A third solid blow rocked Beltran badly and in a furry of one-twos he sagged through the ropes. Helped back in, he turned to fight and was smashed steadily downward stop ping no blows at all when Sammy Nelson stepped the fight. l Sammy Nelson refereed the first two fights, Johnny Harris, the main event, and Eddie Roberts the wrest- ling card
