Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Up over the hill trotted old Gran
ny Fox. She was on her way home
with a tender young chicken for
Reddy Fox. Poor fteddy! Me had
been shot by Farmer frown’s boy
and now was so stiff and sore that
he could hardly move, and could
not walk at all. It was his own
fault. Yes, sir, it was quite his own
fault, for he had been showing off
and he had been careless, or he
never would have gone so near to
the old tree trunk behind which
Farmer Brown’s boy was hiding.
Old Granny Fox never makes such
mistakes as that. Oh, my, no! So
now as she came up over the hill to
a place where she could see her
home, she laid the chickens down and
then she crept behind a little bush
and looked all over the Green Mea
dows to see if the way was clear.
She knew that Bowser the Hound
was chained up. She had seen Far
mer Brown and Farmer Brown’s
boy hoeing in the cornfield, so she
had nothing to fear from them.
Looking over to her doorstep she
saw Reddy Fox lying in the sun and
then she saw something else, some
thing that made her eyes snap and
her teeth come together with a snap.
It was Peter Rabbit sitting up very
straight, not 10 feet from Reddy
Fox.
“So that’s that young scamp of a
Peter Rabbit whom Reddy was go
ing to catch for me when I was sick
and couldn’tt I’ll Just show Reddy
Fox how easily it can be done and
he shall have tender young rabbit
with his chicken!” said Granny Fox
to herself.
So first she studied and studied
every clump of grass and every bush
behind which she could creep. She
saw that she could get almost to
where Peter Rabbit was sitting and
never once show herself to him.
Then she looked this way and
looked that way to make sure that
no one was watching her.
No one did she see on the Green
Meadows who was looking her way.
Then Granny Fox began to crawl
from one clump of grass to another
and from bush to bush. Sometimes
she wriggled along flat on her sto
mach. Little by little she was draw
ing nearer to Peter Rabbit.
Now, with all her smartness, old
Granny Fox had forgotten one
thing. Never once had she thought
to look up in the sky. And there
was Ol’ Mistah Buzzard sailing
round and round and looking down
and seeing all that was going on
below.
Ol’ Mistah Buzzard is sharp. He
kn^w just what old Granny Fox was
planning to do—knew it as well as
if he read her thoughts. His eyes
twinkled.
“Am certn’ly can’t allow lil’ Peter
Rabbit hurt, Ah certn’ly can’t!”
muttered Ol’ Mistah Buzzard, and
chuckled.
Then he slanted his broad wings
downward, and without a sound slid
down out of the sky till he was right
behind Granny Fox.
“Do yo’ always crawl home, Gran
ny Fox?” asked Ol’ Mistah Buzzard.
Granny Fox was so startled, for
she hadn’t heard a sound, that she
jumped almost out of her skin. Of
course Peter Rabbit saw her then,
and was off like a shot.
Granny Fox showed all her teeth.
“I wish you would mind your own
business, Mistah Buzzard!” she
snarled.
“Certn’ly. certn’ly. Ah shly will!”
replied Ol’ Mistah Buzzard and
sailed up into the blue, blue sky.

Sleeping Woman
Walks to Son's Grave
Brisbane, Australia, recorded its
strangest case of somnambulism re
cently when a Woman, who had
lost her only son in an accident,
walked asleep 3 miles to a cemetery
and returned almost to her home
before waking.
Without disturbing her husband,
she left her bed, went to the grave,
removed a vase in which flowers had
died and carried it away with her.
She was within 250 yards of her
house when she dropped the vase,
shattering It, and was awakened
by the noise.
