Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Peter Rabbit crouched in his
hiding place under the thick branch
of a hemlock tree and held his
breath. He held his breath be-
cause of a great fear which had
suddenly taken possession of him.
He had thought himself perfectly
safe over in that part of the Green
Forest, and then, just as he was
about to start on, shadow had
drifted across in front of him in
the moonlight.
Now in sunlight or in moonlight
the Green Forest if full of shadows.
When the Little Night Breezes
wander through the Green Forest
these shadows move. When no
Little Night BreezeS are there the
shadows are perfectly still. With
so many shadows all about you
might think that they would not
be noticed by the little people of
the Green Forest. They are not,
unless they move. But when they
move they are watched sharply.
If the movement is just back and
forth the little people know that
the shadow was made by a branch
SWayed by Little Night Breeze.
But if a shadow moves straight along
those who see it use eyes and nose
and ears for all they are worth,
for such shadow may be made
by an enemy.
The shadow which had warned
Peter was just such a shadow. 1t
had drifted straight past and dis
appeared among the many shadows
which were not moving. Peter had
guessed right away that this was
the shadow of Hooty the Owl
There had been no sound, not the
least tiny bit Of sound, for you know
Hooty flies silently. His wings are
SO made that they make no noise.
Now what is that fellow doing
over here?" muttered Peter to him
self. He doesn't belong in this
part of the Green Forest. There is
nothing over here for him to hunt.
I guess he must be just passing
over on his way to some other
hunting ground. 1t is lucky thing
I saw that shadow just when I did
A second more and I would have
been right out where he would have
seen me. I guess will have to sit
here and be patient"
So Peter remained where he was
and kept perfectly still. All the
time he was listening with those
long ears of his for just the faintest
sound that might tell him if Hooty
was near. There wasn't a sound.
1t was as still as only the Green
Forest can be in the night Things
couldn't seem safer, yet the shadow
of fear lay over Peter. 1t was the
worst kind of fear, the fear that goes
with uncertainty.
So Peter sat and sat and sat for
the longest time. The longer he
sat the less fear he felt At last
he made up his mind that Hooty had
surely gone on to other hunting
grounds and that it was safe for
him to venture forth. The shadow
of fear had passed just as had the
shadow of Hooty.

Continued From First Page)

tCOntlnued from First PdgeD
Minsk, capital of White Russia, it
was declared.
One of the reasons the Germans
were viewing the military situation
on the eastern front as especially
favorable to them was a claim that
the 100000 Russians reported
killed, wounded or captured were
for the most part Soviet elite troops
Optimism over the military situa-
ton, however, was counter balanced
by reports that the Russians were
defending their positions fanatically.
Most reports from the front spoke
of dogged determination of the Rus
slams not to give in.
Sniper Penalties Recalled.
Dienst aus Deutschland, usually
Well-lnformed commentary, said the
German army couldn't be expected
to treat as soldiers those Russians
who have taken up arms as 'peo-
pies defense in response to a re-
radio appeal by Joseph Stain.
German soldiers only fight SOL
diers it is to be expect,\l then
that civilians in peoples defense
can be treated only as snipers, ="
Dienst said.
1t was recalled that during the
Polish campaign the German army
took severe measures against Snipers.
In view of the almost neWsless
eastern front, the German press
welcomed reports that Spanish VOL
unteer troops We're on their way to
the battleline and that the first unit
of Croat flyers had left their newly
created kingdom for the East.
1000 Priests Reported Slain.
D.NB. reported that LOO Catholic
priests had been found shot in Kau-
mas, capital of Lithuania, and that
proof of the slaughter as Russian
secret police action would Sc sent
to the Vatican.
The immense amounts of war
materials blocking German prog
ress resulted from the Bialystok-
Minsk victory, DN.B. said.
Berlin ranked the battle as VIC
tory equal to that of Tannenburg
in 1914, and a military spokesman
said the present triumph removed
any Russian danger to East Prussia.
Railroad lines, especially the Zhit-
omlr-klev Railway in the Ukraine,
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and the Len
ingrad-Murmansk lines, appeared to
be principal objectives of the Nazi
