kept turning it over and over in his
mind trying to think of some way
in which that hunter could be
taught just what it means to be
! hunted.
The trouble is he isn't afraid of
any OF us even when he hasn't got
his terrible gun with him." thought
Peter and wrinkled his broWs. Hes

DON'T believe Farmer Browns Boy
would let him hunt here if he knew.
Farmer Browns Boy hasn't been out
once this fall with his terrible gun
and-and, we'll, I think he doesn't
want to hunt us any more. I guess
he found out how it feels to be
afraid that time he met Buster
Bear"
And right then all of a sudden a
splendid thought popped into Peters
funny little head. 1t was so splendid
that it made him jump and start to
sit up because he can think better
when he sits up. But he didn't sit
up this time. Oh my, mol Of course
not. You see he had forgotten where
he was and when he started to sit
up he bumped his head so hard that
1t made the tears come He wanted
to squeal. but he clapped a hand
over his month and held his breath.

Peter Rabbit squatted inside a
hollow log beside the Laughing
Brook in the Green Forest and a
hunter with terrible gun sat on the
outside of the same log The hunter
didn't know that Peter was inside
but Peter knew that the hunter was
outside. Sometimes Peter would
chuckle at the thought of how that
hunter never once dreamed that he
was so near, and then again little
cold shivers of fear ran over Peter
at the thought of what might hap
pen if that hunter should take it
into his head to look inside the
hollow log.
Now as they sat there both were
thinking and their thoughts were
just as different as thoughts very
well could be. The hunter was
thinking that 1t was great fun to
hunt the little forest people and try
to kill them with his terrible gun,
while. Peter was thinking that it was
awful, simply awful to be hunted
and feel that at any minute he
might make his last jump.
IF only he could be hunted a
while himself perhaps he would un-
derstand, and if he understood I'm
sure he would throw away that ter
rible gun," thought Peter.
Somehow Peter couldn't get that
idea out of his head, and having
plenty OF time for thinking as he

South tried hard to get dta-
mond raise from North, for then he
would have taken his chances at
q grand-slam contract. He felt con-
servative in bidding only six, despite
the fact that North's bidding warned
him of duplicated heart strength.
That, however, was not so trouble
some as North's three small dia-
monds-a weakness which bidding
could not disclose.
West opened the queen of hearts
and South thought things over for
a moment. His best chance was to
find a doubleton queen or king OF
diamonds in one opponents hand
with which to stage an eventual
end-play. (He considered the pos
sibility of finding both high dia-
monds in the East hand, but cor
rectly dismissed it as less likelyo
But since the diamonds might be
so located that the end-play could
be prevented Gas indeed they were),
South decided to disguise his plan
by staging the key play before the
opponents realized what was going
on.
He therefore played a low heart
from dummy on the opening lead and
ruffed in his own hand. Then he
laid down the diamond ace! Had
this play come three or four tricks
later East might have dropped his
queen, foreseeing the end-play. AS
it was he played his low diamond.
South then led low trump to
dummy, discarded two diamonds on
the high hearts, then cashed his
high clubs. Finally he exited with
his low diamond and the defense
was helpless. If East won with the
queen, he would have to give de-
clarer a run stuff, and II West
stepped up with the diamond king,
South's jack would become estab-
lished.

the wide plains or fiat valley lands
where the drainage is assured. In
the early days of our country the
prairie dog fed on almost every
form of vegetation which was ma
tive to the plains. But men came
along and took possession of the
mound-builder' land, using it to
grow food for himself and his
cattle.
The original owner found that,
instead OF life becoming more
restricted, food became more
abundant and OF new and de-
lectable variety. There came about
a feud between the mound yapper
and the lately arrived cultivator of
the soil. Both felt they were in the
right, Yapper was accused of cut
ting down all the hay and grain
about his 'homesite and the case
went against him. Worst of all, the
grain that was so neatly cut to the
surface was not all used for food
1t obstructed the view! Pastures of
native grasses, alfalfa fields, corn
and squash seed were destroyed. 1t
was claimed by experts that 80
prairie dogs consumed as much grass
as one husky sheep, that 256
prairie dogs ate as much food as
one highly important COW. Culti-
waited lands that were devoted to

Peter had walked in the water at
the edge. Of the Laughing Brook be-
fore he crawled into the hollow log,
and you know water is one of the
best friends of all the little people
who leave scent in their tracks as
Peter does, and Reddy Fox and Bob
by Coon and Unc' Billy Possum do.
Water carries the scent away. Peter
peeped out of the hollow log. The
hunter had given up and was going
away to hunt for some one else.
Peter gave a great sigh of relief.
Then he once more settled down to
wait until he was quite sure that
dog was in another part of the
Green Forest, or had left it alto
gether. And while he waited he

food for the family were given more
and concentrated attention.
So there developed a war against
the prairie dog back in 1880 and
1t still goes on, in a much less az
gressive degree, to this day. There
are many more prairie dogs than we
know OF, since they live in a Won-
derful underworld we cannot pene-
trate.
The mound at the door of each
den is dead give-away. Usually
this is about / foot high and 3 or 4
feet in diameter, increasing in size
with the age of the builder. In
the center of the mound is the
burrow, which goes almost straight
down; every prairie dogs home is
a sheer drop for rapid escape to
the living room. There are dry
earth closets to keep the apartment
sanitary, emergency storehouses be-
low the frost or freeze line, and
there Is room for escape purposes.
Flood danger is Offset by careful
and complex engineering; there is
even cell built for occupancy
should water enter the Railways or
a small foe creep into the retreat.
Prairie dogs are sociable crea-
lures. They live in towns and spend
much time in dreaming and gos-
siping. They are sun-worshipers
and arise with the dawn. They are
affectionate; when greeting friends
they bow their heads and kiss
each passing his lips over the muzzle
of the other.
When alarmed they manage to
warn their neighbors as they race
for safety. So far as is known
prairie dogs mate for life and it has
been proven that they bury their
dead.
Like their human brothers, they
are afraid of rattlesnakes, which
sometimes enter their nursery. This
mound is tightly closed by the
prairie dog and is avoided there
after.

was it? Why, it was to get Buster
Bear to frighten the hunter as he

10000 laps Caught
In Trap Northeast Of
Changsha, China Says
10000 kipponese Escape
Toward Yochow, 100
Miles to North
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, Jan. 6.-Forty
thousand japanese troops are caught
in a Chinese trap on the plains be-
tween the Laotao and Liuyang
Rivers northeast Of Changsha in
Human Province and Chinese forces
are confident of wiping out most
of them, a Chinese spokesman said
today
Estimating that the Japanese had
suffered 10000 casualties in the bat
tie before Changsha. the spokesman
said only 10000 Of the original force
of 100 1000 had escaped toward their
jumping OF point at Yochow, 100
miles to the north.
The SpokeSman's estimate OF 10000
casualties was a reduction from pre-
vious estimates of $4,000.
Retreat More Than 10 Miles.
The japanese had retreated more
than 10 miles from the Human prov
ince capital. dispatches said.
The third major japanese defeat
at Changsha in three years was at
tributed to their inability to move
heavy armament south Of the Milo
River because Of water-filled rice
fields and obliteration of the roa DIS
by Chinese forces who for the first
time were able to concentrate su-
perior artillery fire on their foe.
Yale-in-China University at
Changsha was used by the japanese
for headquarters before their re-
treat and was shelled by the Chi
nese the spokesman said. This
damage was not serious, he de-
clared. but before retiring the Jap
anese set fire to the premises.
As the front receded the sound of
gunfire. which had reverberated
throughout the city yesterday morn
ing. diminished to low rumble by
nightfal. the dispatch said.

Changsha again during the day and
also attacked districts on the oppo-
site side of the Slang River.
The Chinese claimed. meanwhile.
that their troops in Western Hupen
Province had slain approximately
700 japanese in series Of success
