Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Peter Rabbit never will forget his
him one morning if he had seen
anything of her big cousin. Peter
heSitated. AS a matter of fact he
couldn't think of any big cousin of
Jenny Wren. All the cousins Peter
knew anything about were very near
Jenny'S own size.
Now Jenny Wren is one of the
most impatient small persons in the
world. well, well, well, Peter, have
you lost your tongue?" she chartered.
Cant you answer simple question
without taking all day about it?
Have you seen anything of my big
cousin?"
You needn't be so cross about it
if I am Slow" replied Peter. I'm
just trying to think who your big
cousin is. I guess, to be quite hon
est, I don't know him.
Don't know him! Don't know
himl" Sputtered Jenny. "Of course
you know him. You can't help but
know him. I mean Brownie the
Thrasher.'
In his surprise, Peter fairly Jump
ed right off the ground. whats
that" he exclaimed. Since when
was Brownie the Thrasher related
to the Wren family?"
Ever since there have been any
WrenS and Thrashers," retorted
Jenny. Brownie belongs to one
branch of the family and I belong
to another, and that makes him
my second cousin. 1t certainly is
surprising how little some folks
know"
But have always supposed he
belonged to the Thrush family" pro-
tested Peter. He certainly looks
like a Thrush"
Looking like one doesn't make
him one" snapped Jenny BY this
time you ought to have learned that
you can never judge anybody just
by looks. 1t always makes me pro-
voked to hear Brownie called the
Brown Thrush. There isn't drop
of Thrush blood in him. But you
lldNCll \ dllSNCICd liiy HuCS0loli yCl,
Peter Rabbit; want to know if
he's here yet"
Yes" said Peter, Il saw him yes
terday on the edge of the Old Pas
ture He was fusSing about in the
bushes and on the ground and jerk
ing that long tail of his up and down
and sidewise as if he didn't know
what to do with it. I've never seen
anybody twitch their tail around the
way he does
Jenny Wren giggled. That's just
like him." said she. 1T is because
he thrashes his tail around so much
that he is called the Thrasher. I
suppose he was wearing MS new
spring suit
L don't know whether or not 1t
was new, but it was mighty good
looking" replied Peter. Il just love
that beautiful reddish brown of his
back, wings and tail, and it certaily
does set off his white and buff waist
coat with its dark streaks and spots.
You must admit that any one seeing
him dressed so like the Thrushes
is to be excused for thinking him
Thrush.
