Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

o@N W. DSANo1Sos
Peter Rabbits curiosity about the
nest of Sprite the Pareula Warbler
wouldn't be satisfied with anything
less than being told all about it.
So Sprite explained how he and
Mrs. Sprite selected a thick bunch
Of moss, fastened it together at the
bottom, followed out the inside and
lined it with fine grasses, making a
little round hole to go in and cut of.
1T looks SO much like all the rest
of the punches of moss that it is
seldom any one finds it," said Sprite
isn't it rather lonesome over here
by yourselves?" asked Peter.
Not at all" replied Sprite. You
see, we are not as much alone as
you think. My cousin. Fidget the
Myrtle Warbler, is nesting not very
far away. and another cousin, Wee
chi the Magnolia Warbler, is quite
near. Both have begun housekeep-
ing already"
Instantly Peter was all excite
ment and interest. Where are their
homes?" he asked eagerly. Tell me
where they are and I'll go straight
over and call"
Peter" said Sprite severely. you
ought to know better than to ask
me to tell you anything of this kind.
You have been around enough to
know that there is no secret so pre-
cious as the secret of a home. If
you can find the homes of Fidget
and Weechi, all right, but l don't
intend to tell you where they are"
Peter knew that Sprite was quite
right not to tell the secrets of his
cousins, but he couldn't think of
going home without at least look
ing for those homes. He tried to
look very innocent as he asked If
they also were hanging in punches
of moss. But Sprite was too smart
to be caught that way, and Peter
learned nothing at all.
For some time Peter hoped
around this way and that way,
thinking that every bunch of moss
he saw must surely contain a nest
But though he looked and looked
not another little round hole did he
find And there were so many of
those punches of moss that finally
his neck sched from tipping his head
back so much Now Peter hasn't
much patience, and when his neck
began to ache and grow lame he
decided that he didn't care anything
about those nests anyway, and he
would go straight home. But he
didn't go straight home. No. sir:
he didn't. You see, each time he got
ready to start, curiosity would lead
him to run over to look at another
promising bunch of moss, and so his
neck grew more and more lame, and
all for nothing.

Failure of both proposals tech
nically would clear the way for
action on a compromise" amend
ment drafted by administration
leaders, but opponents said blunt
ly that they would not let 1t come
to an immediate vote.
The compromise. formulated in
an effort to block off all other
amendments governing the use of
armed forces, states in the main
that nothing in the legislation can
be construed as changing existing
law governing the use Of American
military and naval forces.
Barley predicted a two-to-one
majority for the compromise, but
opposition leaders said that before
it could be voted on they would
offer several other substitutes.
Amendments Ready
Senator Johnson (R.-Calif.) was
ready with two amendments-one
N forbid the use of American
armed forces outside the western
hemisphere and another to prohibit
the use OF money appropriated
under the British aid legislation
for the maintenance OF such forces.
Neither amendment would be oper-
alive in wartime.

proposals would leave the oppon-
