lu'l postponed their viit. And
tomehow the right mglit (or a trip
after carrots never teemed to come
agjin.
Now, Nimble had never forgotten
what his mother had told liim about
carrots. And lie was foino; after
ome so lie promised himself jut
at won a be was bin enough.
When Kimble's second summer
rolled around lie was big enonch
and old enough to prowl around the
woods and fields much as lie pleaded,
lie was a Spike Horn. And he felt
fit to ro to the carrot patch with
out waiting for anybody to show
him the way.
So one nislit be Mole down the
hillside pasture, across the meadow,
and jumped the" fence into Farmer
Greens garden.
He saw at once that somebody
was ahead of him. It was limmy
Rabbit. He was very busy with ono
of Farmer Green's cabbages.
"I've come down to try the car
rot," said Nimble.
Jimmy Rabbit made no reply, ex
cept to nod his head slightly, lie
was eating so fast that he realiy
couldn't speak just then.
"Are these carrots?'' Nimble in
quired, as he looked about at the big
cabbages, which crossed the garden
in long rows.
Jimmy Rabbit shook his head.
"They seem to be good," snid
Nimble, "whatever they are, I'll
taste one." "
And he did. In fact he tasted of
three or four of them, eating their
centers out neatly.
Meanwhile Jimmy Rabbit was be
coming uneasy. And at last he
spoke.
"I thought," he said, "you told
tv.e you had come dow n here to try
the carrots?"
"So A - did," Nimble answered.
"But I don't know where the carrots
arc." . i.
"Why didn't you say so ' before?"'
Jimmy Rabbit asked him. .And with
out waiting for a reply," he cried,
"Follow mcl I'll show you." And he
hopped off briskly, with Nimble
after him.
Soon Jimmy Rabbit came to a
halt. .
' "Here it is!" be said. "Here's the
carrot patch. Help yourself!" and
then he hopped away again, back
to his supper of cabbages.
Nimble Deer began to eat t'le car
rot tops. And he was greatly dis
appointed. "They're not half as- good as
those great round balls," he mutter
ed. And he turned away from the
carrots, to go back and join Jimmy
Rabbit. But he hadn't gone far,
when he met Jimmy bounding along
in a great hurry.
"Old dog Spot!" Jimmy Rabbit
gasped as he whisked past Nimble.
"He's out tonight and he's coming
this way."
In one leap Nimble sprang
completely around and followed
Jimmy Rabbit across the meadow,
up through the pasture, and over
the stone wall into the woods. There
they lost each other.
The next morning Nimble met
his mother along the ridge that ran
down toward Cedar Swamp.
"I went down to the carrot patch
kst night." he told her. "And 1
iiHint say I don't see why you're so
fond of carrots. They're not half
as good as some big green balls that
I found in the garden. I call the
carrot leave tough. But the big
green balls have very tender leaves."
His mother gave him a juccr
look.
'Do you mean to tell me," she
asked him. "that you ate only the
leaves of the carrots?"
"Why, yes!" said Nimble. "I saw
nothing else to cat. There was no
fruit on them."
"Hoi" cried his mother. You
have to dig with your toes to reach
the carrots thcinelve. They're
down in the ground. And to my
mind there $ nothing any micer and
sweeter and tenderer than niie
young carrots, eaten by the l:g'it of
the moon."
Nimble felt very folit!i. .And
then he tossed his head and aid
light, "Oh, well! It wouldn't have
made any difference if I had dug
the carrots out of the dirt. They
wouldn't have tasted right anyhow.
I-'or there was no mon last night!"

Common Sense
In Business Matter Look Well Be
fore You Leap.
You mut take some chances, if
you win out.
No line of business is i sure thing
from the start.
Therefore, if you wait till you are
absolutely sure, you will wait for
ever. On the other hand, you should
not go to the other extreme of rush
ing into something whiih rasual
inspection indicates at a worthy
undertaking.
I'o some figuring and a lot of
thinking beloie you invest your
money.
Lay out your plan along a sane
cour.e, nuking allowance lor unex
pected demands and a certain de
gree of misfortune.
In your own mind there should he
a cleverly maiked goal and a definite
coure leading up to it.
Don't go into anything just be
cause your best friend dues, when
you cannot see it landing place for
our own affairs, wliric it should
'1'jkinj chance tlint "ihiiiu will
come out all right," i one uf the
principal readout why o many
careen have been wrecked fiuaiul
ally. There is no ure iome t wealth
and success. You iuut realize th-tt
you have to take some tliaiucs, but
an intelligent survey for yourself,
with your ow n toibililirs and needs
in view, should be taken by your
self, rrgardlcs of vh.it the other
