You see, it was this way: Peter had
been driven into the heart Of the
old bramble -tangle by Reddy Fox
and a sad time he had had getting
there. Indeed, he had had such a
sad time getting there that he had
made up his mind that he would cut
his way out and had set to work at
once cutting little path to the edge
Of the old bramble-tangle. He had
worked and worked and worked until
he was almost to the edge, and right
then he had seen something that had
made him stop short. 1t was the
red coat Of Reddy Fox. Reddy was
lying fiat In the grass there waiting
for him to come out. That is the
reason that Peter stopped working.

is one long coil extending to cham

cloaca, there are many respiratory
trees; these are constantly supplied

istics that are similar. In fact, they
are cousins.
Sea cucumbers are cylindrical in
form when their tentacles and tube
feet are retracted (this Is when they
resemble giant worms. but when
they are fully expanded, they look
more like sea-anemones, the tanta-
cles forming a rosettelike top. The
mouth is in the center.
The body walls are muscular and
tough, with small calcareous de-
posits or spicules Of different shapes
in the skin Sea cucumbers pro-
gress slowly with the aid of their
double rows of tube feet. Some
members of the tribe have conical
processes without suckers; all, how
ever, move as do worms, by the
contraction and extension Of the
body. This is possible because the
inner surface Of the tough men,
brane inclosing the body is lined
with powerful longitudinal and
transverse muscles.
The mouth is surrounded with
tentacles which are much branched,

and touch and sometimes have IN
