Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

The leaves Of the trees turned yel-
low and red and brown. They began
to drop, a few at first, and more and
more every day until all but the
spruce trees and the pine trees and
the hemlock trees and the fir trees
and the cedar trees were bare. The
fur of Peters coat was growing
thicker. The grass of the Green
Meadows had turned brown. All
these things were signs which Peter
knew we'll. They meant that rough
Brother North Wind and Jack Frost
were on their way down from the
Far North to stay.
Peter spent a great deal Of time
in the dear Old Briar Patch, just
sitting still and listening. He didn't
know what he was listening for. It
Just seemed to him that there was
something he ought to hear at this
time Of year, and so he sat listen
ing and listening and wondering
what he was listening for.
Then late one afternoon there
came floating down to him from
high up in the sky, family at first,
but growing louder, sound unlike
any Peter had heard all the long
summer through. The sound was of
many voices mingled. "Honk! Honk!
Honk! Ka-honk, honk, honk, ka-
honk!" they cried. Peter gave a
little jump.
That's what I've been listening
for" he thought. ''Honker the
Goose and his friends are coming!
Oh, I do hope they will stop where
I can pay them a call"
He hoped out to the edge of the
dear Old Briar Patch that he might
see better and looked up in the sky.
Very high up, flying in the shape of
a letter v, he saw a flock of birds
moving steadily from the direction
of the Far North. BY the sound Of
their voices he knew that they had
flown far that day and were tired
One bird was in the lead, and this
he guessed to be his old friend
Honker. Straight over his head they
passed, and as Peter listened to their
cries he felt within him the very
spirit of the Far North, that great,
wild, lonely land which he had
never seen. but of which he had so
often heard.
Suddenly Honker turned and
headed in the direction of the Big
River. Then he began to slant
down, his flock following him. Pres
emily they disappeared behind the
tree along the bank of the Big River.
Peter gave happy little sigh. They
are going to spend the night there"
thought he. when the moon comes
up I will run over there, for then
they will come ashore, and I know
just where. Now that they've ar
rived, I know that winter is not far
away. Honker's voice is as sure a
sign of the coming Of winter as is
Winsome Bluebird's that spring will
soon be here"
