had taken pitv on Blake’s vouth and

had let him off with a suspended

When Tom. after a hid** us aceno

"I hope, air,” answered Tom, "you

"I agree to that,” assented the

the little people of th** Green Mead
ow- and th** Gre* n Fore-t Hammy
Jay had gone our to the dear old
Brier Patch to have what he called
"fun" with Peter Rabbit nf cour «
you know what h* meant He in
tended to tease Peter and try to
make him angry, a pretty poor kind
nf "fun" hut a kind that a great
many people se*»m to delight In. Ju.-t
why 1 never could understand But
the very instant that Sammy di
covered that Peter wa- -irk he quite
forgot that lie had come to tease.
Right away he wa* full of sympathy
Instead of screaming as he usually
does he stole away softly so as not
10 disturb Peter ami then flew
straight up to Farmer Brown’s gar
den to see if he could find out
what had made Peter sick. There
lie discovered Old Mr. Toad grumb
ling and quite out of sorts be
cause Fainier Brown's Boy had put
poison on the cabbage leaves to kill
the worms that were eating them
You see he felt that Farmer Brown's
Boy had interfered with his busi
ness, which was io eat those worms
This he couldn't do now because of
th** poison \Vh* n h** heard that
Peter Rabbit had eaten some of
those leaves and now was very sick
he knew right away that Peter had
hern poison***! and he and Sammy
Jay shook their heads sadly as they
talked the matter over and hoped
that Peter hadn’t eaten a great
deal
Now Old Mr Toad and Peter Rah
hit are th** h**sl of friends and right
away he made up his mind that he
must g" down to the dear Old Briar
Patch and tell Peter how sorry h *
wa*. It was a long Journey for Old
Mr Toad, but he didn't stop to think
of that. Me Just made up his mind
that ho would go down that very
night nnd h«* would -tart Just as
soon as the Black Shadow- began
to creep out from the Purple Hills
You know Old Mr Toad canno*
stand the heat of Jolly, bright Mr.

Sammy Jay flew over to the Old

the "chance" that Roger l-atnpson
pave him by bringing to his new Job
a reatstlesa energy, enthusiasm and
adaptability that qul< klv won Hi •
employer's approval
"1 thought I whs doing you a
favor, Marjorie,” Roger I.atnpson
said to the gill one da>. "by hiring
young Blake. But it was you who
did me a favor by gittlng me such
a man to work for me lie's had
two promotions Hits past year And
he’s going to ge’ a third at and bigger

"Next month"'’ echoed Marjorie
"Why, that's June. The month of

"And the month of your birthday,"
supplemented her uncle "You'll he
of age the first of June, won’t vou?
Well, take my advise—marry Tom

Marjorie sped to Tom with this in

June t
Tom. aglow with delight at ihe

Marjorie.
it was a busy day, and. during the
afternoon a de’ail of work arrived
that had to be comi leted in haste.
Tom a' once volunteered to stay
after hours to finish it.
Wh»-n the res» of the staff depart

heart wa- light, his brain brilliantly
active He verily believed he wa

he was a success, was on the high

I can't take lilin anything."
So Jimmy Skunk and Johnny
Chuck want on down the Crooked
Little Path together and Johnny was
glad of Jimmy's company for he felt
safer You know no one ever
bother- Jimmy Skunk They went
slowly for Jimmy Skunk never bur

and roly-poly to hurry. By and by
they came to the house of I>anny
Meadow Mouse
"Where are you fellows going?"
asked Ifcuiny, his bright little eyes
full of curiosity.
"To call on Peter Rabbit nnd tell
him how sorry we ure that he is
sick,” replied Johnny Chuck
"Peter Rabbit sick’" exclaimed
Itanny Meadow Mouse. "Walt a
minute and I’ll go with you" He
disappeared taut in a few minutes
he whs hack and his cheeks were
puffed out as if he had the tooth
ache on both sides of his face at

Jimmy Skunk stared at him.
"Whnt's the matter with you? What
have you got?" he demanded.
"Seed-,” mumbled Danny Meadow-
Mouse. "I'm taking Peter Rabbit
some of my very best seeds. He
won't cat them, but they are all I’ve
got to take him, and I want to take
him something"
"oh!” said Jimmy Skunk, and
looked thoughtful. Present as they

he didn't cat it. Instead he car

Chuck noticed this After a while

THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
Jim Wants to Know the Knd of the Story.
"Now that you are hero, Jim, l
want you to hear the Arm few chap
ters of a aertul I am writing for
I'Ht's paper,'* I said
"Say, Margie, you are not going to
write one of those husband and wile
things, are you?’
"Why not?" I asked, wishing to
hear what he had to say about
"those husband and wife things '
"Well, in the first place, most of
them that i have read seem to have
been written by girls of lti who
have hud no experience, or damsels
of .{*; who are looking for eipe
rience."
"Jim, you are Incorrigible'"’
"Well, continued Jim, belligerent
ly, "did you ever read one of those
husband and woman things that was
human? They either make the wo
man or the man—usually the wo
man —an angel and then, of course,
the other must be a demon. Then
they put them through a lot of silly
adventures that don’t mean any
thing and finally leave them In each
other’s arms expecting you to think
that you have been looking at a slice
of life. You might possibly write a
serial, Margie, having real charac
ters, real psychology, real life in it.
but you would not dare to publish it
if any one would print it for you.
because if you did you would smash
to atoms a lot of the false ideals so
many of us pretend to worship now
adays."
1 thought of you, little hook, and
wondered if I ever did publish you
if your readers would stand for the
truth (as I see It) which is written
herein.
What I said, however, was, "My
story is not the conventional one be
tween a man and his wife. It mostly
concerns the experiences of a girl
who has to earn her own living."
"That ought to be interesting,
said Jim, "if you are sure of your
facts."
"1 am going to tell the life story
of a friend "
"Well, ‘spiel’ away; what are you
going to call it?"
"Any Girl."
Jim gave an approving smile.
“You see, it might he any girl,
and al’hough my heroine is of the
better class that Is, I mean a girl
who has been brought up in a weal
thy home and has had the advan
tag's of travel and education —yet
the < work against her many times,
and het * xperiences in the main are
not much different from any girl
who starts nut to make her own
way."
“Well, trot her out.” said Jim. as
hr set'led himself beside my bed,
lighted his rigaret and began to pull
to pieces one of the beautiful pink
roses—a great sheaf of which he had
thrown across my bed as he came in.
“Don’t do that. Jim ’"
