Th# thinr that one# you wished to know Pi oves hardly worth while llutenlna to. —Peter Rabbit. At last Peter Knows. Hardly had Danny and Ntinny Meadow Mouse got well started on tlielr search for a new home when they met Peter Habbit. I’eter saw right away that something was wrong. ‘‘Hello, folks"’ said he. "Where are you goingT’ "To look for a new home." replied Nanny. “To look for a new home?" ex claimed Peter in great astonishment. "I thought you had a new home.” “We did have, but we haven't any more.” replied Nanny sadly. "Why not?” demanded Petar. "Hello, folks," said he, "where are you going?” "Because Mr. Blacksnake found It, and we won’t dare go back there to live," spoke up Danny. Right then it popped into Peter’s head that he never had found that home, although he had looked and looked and looked for it. "Since you are not going to live there any more I don't suppose you will mind telling me where that home is which you have left,” said Peter. "Not in the least, Peter," replied Danny, and his little black eyes be gan to twinkle. “We don't care who knows about it now. You have sat under it two or three times." “Wha—wha—what’s that?” ex claimed Peter. "Wha—wha—what’s that?” "I said you have sat under It sev eral times.” replied Danny, and his bright little eyes twinkled more than ever. "Danny Meadow Mouse, what un der the sun are you talking about?” Cried Peter. "About that fine home of ours which we have just left, ami which you have hunted for »<i often,” re torted Danny. Peter scratched a iong ear with a long hind foot, Htid he scratched the other long ear with the other long hind foot, and lie scratched his nose. "I think you are talking Just plain foolishness. Danny Meadow Mouse,” he declared at last. "I haven’t been in a hole in the ground for so long that I can't remember when I was in one last." ‘‘What has that got to do w ith It?" demanded Danny. ‘‘Well, the only way I could stt under a home of yours would lie to be down In the ground.” retorted Peter. "Nothing of the kind. Peter; noth ing of the kind," replied Danny. “You see this last home of ours was up in a bush.” "What?” cried Peter. "I said it was up in a bush,” squeaked Danny rather sharply. "Do you remember' the old nest of Red wing the Blackbird in the alders?” Peter nodded. "Of course.” said he. "I used to see it every time I passed this way last winter.” "That Is where we have been liv ing.” Danny said. Then be told Peter all about how he had put a roof on that old nest, and what a wonderful home It had been. Peter had to laugh himself when Danny told how he had been In that nest right over Peter's head, and heard Peter talking to himself that first time he failed to find the Meadow' Mouse home. "But where are you going now?” cried Peter. "We don't know, but we are going somewhere where Mr. Black$nake won’t find us. Come on, Danny; we ean’t waste any more time,” said Nanny. (Copvrtght.
