Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

-
Sammy Jay found Peter Rabbit
doing under his favorite bramble
bush in the dear Old Brier Patch.
Sammy's sharp eyes twinkled as he
looked down at Peter nodding in
perfect contentment. Sammy
watched him few minutes, then he
began to speak just as if he were
talking to some one else.
Yes" said he. they certainly are
hne babies. I expect their parents
are very fond of them and very
proud of them. But they are Ger
tainly going to make lot of trouble
for some other people know Of"
Peter suddenly stopped nodding
and pricked up his ears. Sammy
pretended not to see him and went
right on, as If talking to some one
whom Peter couldn't see.
'Yes, sir" said he, some people I
know will have to watch out mighty
sharp for their own babies when
these babies begin to grow. In fact.
they ought to be watching out
mighty sharp right now If they
don't, they will find some of their
babies missing one of these days"
BY this time. Peter was sitting up
straight. with his long ears stretched
as far as they could be stretched and
3 worried look creeping into his eyes.
II beg your pardon. Sammy
Jay" said he politely, but I couldn't
help hearing what you said. You
see, I was right down here all the
time Would you mind telling me
who 1t is with babies that are likely
to make trouble for other people.
and who these other people are?
don't want to seem inquisitive, but
you know, have some babies of my
own who are great deal of care.
and If they are in any more danger
than usual I want to know It. You
don't mind me asking, do you,
Sammy"
Sammy looked down and chuckled.
You know. he dearly loves to tease
Peter, and 1t was so funny to see
Peter so polite to him.
Its all right, Peter" said he. II
meants for you to hear. In fact, I
was talking for you. This morning
I made discovery that you and a
few others ought to know about.
Reddy Fox and Mrs Reddy have
some babies, and you know what
that means. 1t means that they
are going to hunt as they never have
hunted before. and that other folks
with babies, like you and Danny
Meadow Mouse. have got to watch
out as they never have watched be-
fore both to save their own skins
and their babies"
Mrs. Peter had come along In time
to hear this. and very worried
looking little person she was. What
did I tell you, Peter?" said she.
Didn't I say that 1t was a sad day
for the rest Of us when Reddy Fox
was married? There were dangers
enough before, goodness knows, but
now III never have another minute
OF peace until our children are grown
up. 1t was very good of you to
come over and warn us, Sammy
Jay;
1T certainly was" declared Peter
We'll never forget it."
'"Oh. that's all right" replied
Sammy. "I thought you ought to
know it as soon as possible. It's
nothing. I'm glad to be Of service
to you, Peter"
Sammy spoke in . careless way,
but right down In hts heart he was

And when the feast Is over, the
guest must find another way out.
At first, there is much consterna-

in trap. But little quiet inves-
tigation shows two CLEANS of light
coming through openings at the end
of the passage beyond the nectary
hairs. The way is narrow. and the
insect must struggle hard for his
freedom as his back rubs against
the sticky overhanging stigma,

hairs, all directed forward and for
