Now wouldn t you suppose that Peter Rabbit would have had quite enough of locking for Winsome Bluebird’? - hon e after the narrow escape Tie "had from Black Fussy? Most folks would have. But Peter ‘a different from most folks In that be has such a big bump of curios ity. On«e Peter becomes curious about a thing he cannot get It out of his h><ad until his curiosity has teen natirfled. When Farmer Brown's Boy took Peter out of the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard Hiid started htm across the Green Meadows for the dear old Brier P.:tcb, there was only one thought n Peter’s head and that was to get home as quickly as he could. So h« -an as only Peter can rur, lippci ty-lipperty lip. across the Gr»-en Meadows to the dear old Brier Patch. But once there, safe under Sh« friendly bramble-bushes. Peter ,v,.iembered what it was that bad been the rnuse of all his fright and trouh'e and that be hadn't found out what he s**rted to find out. "Never mind,” said Peter's com mon sense. "You'll live Just an long if you don't know where Winsome Bluebird’.* new home is. It isn’t any business of yours anyway." "Hilt I want tc know,” protested Peter's curiosity. "What good will It do you to know?" asked his common sense. Think -is he would Peter couldn't think o' any good that It would do him So he trbd to forget all about Winsome Bluebird and his new home. Put h* couldn't. No, sir, he couldn't forget. You see every once In a while the sweet whittle of Wlrsome Bluebird would come floating over »o rhe deaf old Brier Patch and every time Peter heard if. his curiosity shout Winsome’s home became greater than eve# ""Tie very idea that I shouldn't know where an old frnend like Win >ome Blneblrd lives!" exclaimed Peter ns he jut Just outside the edge o' the ifear old Brier Patch staring across to the Old Orchard. It was very early In the morning, very early indeed. Redtail the Hawk wns no‘ in sight and Reddy and Granny Fox had gone over to the Old Pasture, for Peter had seen them go. Black Pussy was not like ly to be out at this hour. Anyway .he couldn’t catch him If he were on the watch, and that he certainly would be If hi went up to the Old Orchard :*gain. Sweet and soft and clear the whist,e of Winsome Blue bird floated over to Peter. It seemed t< him as If 11 said: "Don t you wls| you knew? Don't you wish vou knew?' Peter stood It Just as long as h** could. Then he scampered straight for the Old Orchard to look again Tor the home of Winsome Bluebird. J»*st before he reached the Old Or chard he saw Winsome fly down, pick up a worm and fly to the top of a fence-pcsi. Peter headed straight there. "Oh. Winsome" said he as M reached the post on which Winsome was alHlng. "I was on my way to look for you In the Old Orchard. I went to can on you the other day and found that you are not living In yonr old home. Ploase toll me where you are living. Winsome, so 'hat I msv call once In n while to pass the time of day." There wan s sparkle of mischief :n Winsome's eyes aa he replied; I’m always glad to have a can from you, Peter. Any time you fool SAYS NOTE DID NOT ULTIMATE -aouiKvui.r.

"Mi!" *eplled Winsome, "T.*a! is n seer ‘t. h Is not far from here. So. as l said before, when you wan* 1o make a cad you will be pretty i urc t i find me somewhere abou' here. You know I'm very fond of “itting feno posts." This was quite true. Peter had noticed i*ia» many times. Now the post whvre Winsome was sitting was only a little way out from the Old Orc hard. "That means,” thought Pe'er, "that the new home is in one of the tree> on the very edge cf the Old Orchard, for Winsome is not on. to go far from home.” So with a very wire look Peter said goodbye and hopped over to the nearest Irees r- the old Orchard. There he found a place where he could keep quite out of sight, and there he hid to watch for Winsome Bluebird to vl.it his new home. A.id Peter thought, himself very clever nnd smart.

There is nothing thin about Diamond Slabs. They are made on 60-point felt, but on account of cut ting methods, one-third of material weight is saved. A square of ordinary shingles weighs 220 pounds, while a square of Diamond Slabs will tip the scale at 165. Yet there is no loss in strength or stand-up quality. You add greatly to the Rood appearance of the house the minute you use these shingles.
