Old Brier Patch. a foot at time
with long rests in between. Mrs
Peter kept close by him, bravely
winking back the tears as she
watched him struggle. The morning
was half gone before he finally
reached his bed, and with a sigh
that was half sob stretched himself
out on 1t and closed his eyes. He
was too tired and frightened and
Ill to care much what happened now
1t was there that, later in the day
Sammy Jay discovered him. Sammy
had stopped at the Old Brier Patch
to tease Peter a little, as is his way
But the very instant he saw Peter
he knew that something was wrong
Right away, all thought of teasing
went out of his head. Peter Rabbit
was in very real trouble, and
Sammy, mischiefmaker though he
is, had a good heart. He looked
about for Mrs. Peter and presently
discovered her gathering the tender
est sweet clover she could find just
outside the Old Brier Patch. Sammy
knew at once that it was for Peter.
He flew over and asked her what
the trouble was. Little Mrs. Peter
told him all that she knew, which
wasn't much.
Where did he go when he left
here last n!ght?" asked Sammy Jay.
ITO Farmer Browns garden" re-
piled Mrs. Feter.
Sammy said nothing, but looked
thoughtful Finally, he asked Mrs.
Peter to tell Peter how sorry he was
that Peter was so sick, and then
spread his blue wings and flew away
in the direction Of Farmer Browns
garden.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

When Peter craWled under the
friendly bramble bush at the en-
trance to one of his private little
paths in the Old Brier Patch and
dropped right down there, he felt
so badly that he didn't care whether
he lived or died. He was a very sick
rabbit, was Peter. Little Mrs. Peter
happened to be on the farther side
Of the Old Brier Patch, so she knew
nothing of Peters trouble for some
little time. Finally, she started for
the side where he was. She was
going to look for him. for she felt
that it was high time for him to be
home. Presently, as she hoped
along one of the little paths in the
Old Brier Patch. she heard faint
groan ahead of her. Mrs. Peter
stopped and sat up with one hand
on her heart and look of fright
and anxiety in her big eyes.
What was that?" she whispered
to herself. TT sounded like Peters
voice." Then she heard it again,
and she knew that it was Peters
voice. With a bound, she sprang
forward. Peter was in trouble and
needed her! So she came to the
friendly bramble bush and saw him
stretched out under it, big tears
rolling from his eyes as he moaned
in a feeble way.
"Oh, Peter, Peter, whatever has
happened?" she cried, rushing to
his side.
But Peter was too sick to answer.
At first she though that he must
have been shot by some man with a
terrible gun. Then she remembered
that she would have heard the bang
of it, and she had heard nothing of
the kind. Perhaps he had tSen
caught by Granny Fox or Old Man
Coyote and hurt. With her heart
in her mouth. she looked him over.
There wasn't so much as a scratch,
on him. 1t must be that he was
sick inside, which he was, as you
and know. That must mean that
he had eaten something that didn't
agree with him. This also was true,
as you and I know.
There wasn't thing that little
Mrs. Peter could do for him but sit
down beside him and caress him
and try to comfort him, and this she
did, you may be sure. The tears
came into her own eyes as she saw
how Peter suffered. A terrible fear
orirnoI o,.%
Peter shouldn't get we'll? Suppose
Peter should die? How could she
go on living without Peter? But she
didn't let Peter know how worried
she was. No. indeed! She kept
whispering words of good cheer to
him and telling him that she was
sure he would be better soon. Not
once did she even hint at how often
she had warned him that if he per-
sisted in roaming about so much, he
would surely get into trouble.
After a while Peter felt better.
That is, he had less pain. He tried
to crawl farther into the Old Brier
Patch, for you remember he was
very near the edge. He didn't feel
altogether safe there. He wanted
to get to his favorite place in the
very middle. Then he made dis
covery that frightened him terribly.
He couldn't use those big strong
hind legs of his. The best he could
do was to drag them after him, pull
ing himself along little at time
by means of his front feet. Little
by little, ne crawled farther into the

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
PARLEZ vOUS FRANCAISo

While the following terms are in
everyday use. they are not yet quite
at home in English, and should not
be pronounced according to English
rules. The following pronunciations
are as nearly correct as can be in
dicated by phonetic spelling. and
will serve adequately for ordinary
purposes.
BLASE. This is not a synonym
for sophisticated 1t means stated
by excessive indulgence" The &C
cepted English pronunciation is
blah-ZAY.
CHAISE TONGUE. French for
long chari." Do not say "chase
lounge" There is no connection
whatever with the word lounge"
In the accepted English pronuncia-
ton, chaise ryhmes with daze.
Tongue has the nasal sound and a
hard "g." which ends the word with
an almost imperceptible "guh" sound.
Say shaze LAW (N) -guh.
ENNUI. spirit of boredom The
English pronunciation is: AIM wee
The French is: ah tn) -NYEE.
FAUX PAS, a social blunder. Not
fox pass" Faux rhymes with doe,

1NGENUE, in show business. an
actress playing the part of naive
young woman. The common pro-
nunciation is "AHN- -juh-noo' but
it has no sanction. In the first
syllable the vowel sound is like the
"a" of man, followed by the French
nasal. The second syllable begins
with "zh" as in azure. and rhymes
with day" The vowel sounds of
third. syllable cannot be spelled
phonetically. The French III" is
pronounced by pursing the lips as

Is short. The small round ears are
almost hidden in the woody fur.
The eyes are beautiful light hazel,
with black vertical pupils.
All members of the genus are
shy, law-abiding creatures. They
prefer the talleSt trees in their
range, and they are slow climbers.
During the day, they rest quietly,
either on the broad branches of
their home tree or in cavities in
the trunk. When the evening
shadows fall, they descend to the
ground for their food. This is for
first choice, the tender leaf buds or
twigs. Seeds, roots and nuts are
second.
The cuscus shuns water. How
ever, the genus discovered in 1900
departs from this family trait to the
extent that it will use water for
washing its hands. But its face
receives the same careful attention
Tabby gives to hers. This last
species inhabitS an area well in the
interior, at an altitude of 1000 feet
above sea level.
Natives are fond of the meat of
the cuscuS. They claim it is tender
and delicious. The only reason why
these beautiful, harmless animals
have not become extinct is because
they occupy the loftiest trees of
their range and 1t is thinly in
habited by the Malays and Papuans.
Perhaps the most remarkable
thing about this animal is its
tenacity of life. 1t has been known
to live several hours after its spine
has been broken or bullet has
pierced its brain.
Another interesting characteristic
exhibited by the different species of
the cuscus is their keen desire to
associate with animals that display
a higher I. @. than they possess.
Whether they enjoy the company
of these animals is, of course, not
known. 1t may be that they are
trying to acquire, in their own way,
some of the more progressive meth
DDS of escape from enemies. No
report has been made that the new
species discovered in 1900 is more
advanced than its relatives.
