When common danger doth Attend All private quarrels quieklju_»nd. —PeterRabbit. Why the Cousins Ended Their Quarrel. The quarreling cousins, Billy Mink and Shadow the Weasel, had disap-1 pea red as If by magic. One Instant they had been snarling at each other and looking as If at any second they might spring at each other’s throat, and the next Instant they had disap peared. Peter began to wonder If he had been asleep and dreamed that he saw those two cousins quarreling. He run (aster. rubbed his gyes. And then, happen ing to look up, he saw Terror the Gos hawk Just disappearing over the tree tops. The banks of *Jie Laughing Brook appeared as deserted as if no living thing had ever been there. It to still hard for Peter to believe that he had seen Billy Mink and Shadow the Weasel quarreling there. Then ae suddenly as they had disappeared both appeared again. Billy Mink suddenly popped Into view much near er Peter than he had been. He seem 1 ed to have forgotten all about Shad ow the Weasel, for he came running along the hank, looking into every little hole just ns he -had been doing when Peter first saw him. Looking up the Laughing Brook Peter saw Shadow the Weasel going on his way. just as If nothing had happened. Peter was thankful that Shadow was going up the Laughing Brook, for tlint was taking him far ther away. Tt was had enough to have Billy Mink so near, hut It would have been worse to have had Shadow In Billy Mink’s place. Billy was more likely to keep to the laughing Brook and so to pass Peter's hiding place, which was a little back of the Laugh ing Brook. Tn a few minutes both Billy and Shadow disappeared. Petei drew a long breath of relief. "I guess this tfl no place for me.’ said Peter. “There is no knowing when those fellows may come back The sooner T get away from here th< better. My, but I wish I could dis appear the way they can! Of course with that white coat of his Shadow the Weasel would have no difficult? in getting out of sight. But hnv Billy Mink managed to hide so quick lv I don’t understand. Of course, h* hid behind something op under some thing, but he did It oo quickly that I didn't m him. “It la no wonder those two fellows manage to keep out of trouble. In spite of their quarrel they saw Terror the Qoshawk the Instant ha came la sight. Even In their anger they didn’t forget to be on the watch for danger. I guess they are never absent-minded, as I was the other day. If one Is to UVe long In the (Jreat World he mustn’t forget even for sn Instant the rule of safety first. I wish Terror had caught Shadow the Weasel. Yes, sir, I do. I have some enemies for whom I don’t really wish any harm. But Shadow the Weasel to different. I don’t know of one good thing about that fellow. His greatest pleasure In life seems td be to kill others. He kills Just for the pleasure of kill ing." Peter shivered a little and began to run faster: llpperty-llpperty-llp, llpper ty-llpperly-lip he ran, and kept look ing behind him as If he half elected to see Shadow the Weasel bounding along after him.
