Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGEs

by IHOhNION w. bUhUESS.
If you are so fond of the cold !
don't see what you leave the Far
North at all for" said Peter Rabbit
to Snowflake the Snow Bunting.
Because, Peter" replied Snow
flake, twittering merrily, like every
body else I have to eat in order to
live. When you see me down here
you may know that the snow up
North is so deep that 1t has covered
all the seeds. I hope I will not
have to go any farther south than
this, but if some morning you wake
up and find the SNOW so deep that
all the seeds are buried, don't ex-
pect to find me-"
That's what I'd call good, sound
common sense" said another voice,
and a bird very near Snowflake'S
size, and who at first glance seemed
to be dressed almost wholly in soft
chocolate brown, alighted on the
snow and began to run around in
search of seeds. 1t was Wanderer
the Horned Lark. Peter had known
him ever since his first winter, yet
did not feel really acquainted, for
Wanderer seldom stayed long enough
for a real acquaintance.
Now, as Wanderer reached up to
pick seeds from a weed top, Peter
had a good look at him. The first
thing he noticed was what looked
like two little horns above and be-
hind the eyes. 1t is from these
that Wanderer gets the name of
Horned Lark. OF course they are
not really horns at all, but little
tufts of black feathers. His forehead,
a line over each eye, and his throat
were yellow. There was black
mark from each corner of his bill
curYing downward and almost join
ing a black crescent shaped band
across the breast. Beneath this he
was soiled white with dusky spots
showing here and there. His back
was brown in places, having almost
a pinkish tinge. His tail was black,
showing a little white along the
edges when he flew. Altogether he
was a handsome little fellow.
do all of your family have those
funny little horns?" asked Peter.
NO" replied Wanderer promptly.
Mrs. Lark does not have them"
Il think they are very becoming"
said Peter politely.
Thank you," replied Wanderer,
II am inclined to agree with you"
Just then Peter discovered some
thing that he hadn't noticed be-
fore. My goodness" he exclaimed,
what long claw you have on
each hind toe!"
1t was true. Each hind claw was
about twice as long as any other
claw. Peter couldn't see any special
use for these, and was just about
to ask more about them when Wan
derer suddenly Spied a flock of his
relatives some distance away and
flew over to join them. Probably
this saved him some embarraSs-
ment. for it was doubtful if he
himself knew why Old Mother
Nature had given him those long
hind claws.
