"Why Kidnap Me?" By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter

 | Here's mystery. Why Sam Wolff kidnapped? That question puzzled Sam himself puzzled me- too. Maybe it will make you wonder bit. We all know why most kdnapers commit their dirty crimes. They do for money-for ransom. Once in while is kidnapped for revenge to keep him from telling what he knows. But Sam didn't fit into any of these pictures He wasn't rch There wasn't anybody he knew of who looking for revenge. And he didn't know anything that anyone would be interested in keeping quiet.

So, though Peter was disappoint- ed at losing sight of Busy Bee so soon, he didn't let a little thing like that bother him much. It isn't Peters way. Tt can't be helped and so I'll make the best of it," said Peter,
 So Peter went deeper and deeper into the Green Forest and he wan dered this way and he wandered that way. Finally Peter stopped at the foot of big tree to rest. He had given up all hope of finding the storehouse of Busy Bee and he was tired and disappointed. He sat there for long time thinking it all over. By and by he became aware of a humming sound. At first he didn't think much about it, but after a while he began to wonder what it was and where it came from. Then he noticed that when his ear was close to the tree it sounded louder.
 "Why," exclaimed Peter with the most surprised look on his face, "it sounds just like the humming of Busy Bee and l believe it comes from inside this very tree!"
 He looked up. There, way up near the top, was little hole and in and out of it were coming and go- ing all of Busy Bees relatives. Peter had found Busy Bees store house. Lucky Peter Rabbit!

COME folks seem to have been o born lucky; some seem to have been born unlucky, and some are so lucky part of the time and so un- lucky the rest of the time that it is sometimes quite hard to say which they are. Peter Rabbit is that kind. He is dreadfully unlucky in getting into all kinds of scrapes and then wonderfully lucky in getting out of them again. Now with most people there isn't any such thing as tuck. No, sir, there isn't.
 When the winter has been very long and cold and hard and food

"Why!" exclaimed Peter, "it sounds just like the humming of Busy Bee."
 has been very scarce Striped Chip. munk doesn't mind. He comes out in the spring as saucy and pert as ever. He has had plenty to eat all winter and it always makes him smile when some of his neighbors tell him that he was lucky. He knows better. There was no luck about it. He worked hard, ever so hard, to store away that food and make sure that he had plenty. Many and many a time the little people of the Green Meadows have thought that Reddy Fox would surely be caught by Bowser the Hound and when Reddy has escaped they have said that he was lucky. Nothing of the kind! Reddy had just used his wits and fooled Bowser the Hound.
 So there isn't nearly so much luck in this world as some people think. Most of what people call good luck is nothing but the result of hard work or smart wits or both; and most of what people call bad luck is nothing but the result of carelessness or laziness or stupidity. But some times it seems as if there is such thing as real luck. It was that way with Peter Rabbit when he tried to follow Busy Bee to her storehouse in the Green Forest. He saw her start from the sweet clover patch out on the Green Meadows. She went up until she was only tiny speck and then she started in straight line for the Green Forest and Peter started after her. But he hadn't made three jumps before he found that he must look where he was go- ing, and he couldn't do that and look up in the sky at the same time.
 Anyway" said Peter to himself, "she flew in this direction and there is no place for a storehouse until she reaches the Green Forest, so if I keep right on going l may find the place if keep my eyes open when I reach the Green Forest"

the rug-I'm wondering if one chair in deep blue and the other in green, probably antique velvet, might be a wise choice. My reasons for not wanting rust or gold are, first, there's so much rust in the rug, and second, the gold see usually looks too gilded and elaborate for the eff feet I want.
 '"The windows all have beige ruff fled curtains; the walls are yellow with white woodwork. The room is west with five large windows, four of which make a bay in which l have Phyfe table and two chairs and an Oriental rug in blues and beiges. I've been using turquoise accents but if you advise could change to something warmer. For summer I have start in rosy beige slip cover for the sofa with turquoise binding. What summer cover would you suggest for the two new chairs? doubt whether I'll be able to afford summer rug so must keep the rust in mind"
 For the two chairs by the hearth. we'd be inclined to suggest the same material. Why wouldn't tur- quoise be right here, or a shade of blue-gree just lighter than that you have on the sofa? For summer you might use a lowered material with a turquoise ground. I like your turquoise accents; keep them, but if you like. you could add a piece or two of copper. kept gleaming. Don't worry about the room being too chilly.

Basilisk Lizards Are Jumpers

Four species of basilisk lizards abound in and near Central Amer. ica, but are nowhere else. They range in length from a few inches to three feet. Most of their lives are spent in trees along rivers. Great climbers and jumpers, they do not hesitate to dive from a lofty tree into the water. So swiftly do they run on their hind legs that they can run" across streams. And they can stop so abruptly human eyes cannot follow them.

Poppy, Blossom of Evil Omen

Poppy. according to mythology, is a blossom of evil omen. They were offered to the dead since they sig nified sleep. Glaucus, the son of Neptune, once caught fish. It ate some herbage and jumped into the sea. The Yellow Poppy or Pap- over Glauciere Jaune originated from that myth. The cross of the pistil, according to Christian tradi- tion, originated in its color from the holy blood which stained the flower.
