—Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rains Blacky's Respect.
Blacky the Crow grew more and
more excited as he looked down on the
race between Peter* Rabbit and a
strange dog. It was an exciting race.
There was no douht about that.
Peter's white tail was bobbing along
just in front of the nose of that yelp
ing dog.
There Is little that the sharp eyes
of Blacky the Crow miss. He saw the
little hole in the hedge for which
Peter was heading. He saw that it
was just big enough for Peter to go
through, but too small for that dog
to go through. “Run,* Meter! Run!”
cawed Blacky, for it did look as if
that dog would catch Peter before he
could reach that hedge.
Hut what Blacky didn't know was
that Peter wasn't running his fastest.
He had a reason for this. He wanted
that dog to be right at his very heels
when he reached that hedge, so, glanc
ing hack- over his shoulders, he kept
watch of that dog and ran only just
fast enough 10 keep out of his jaws.
They were almost to the hedge, and
Blacky the crow began to feel re
lieved. If Peter once got through
that hedge he would be safe. That is
what Blacky thought. Clever as he
is, he had quite forgotten that that
dog could Jump that hedge. So of
course Blacky expected to see Peter
drive through that little hole. But he
saw nothing of the kind. No, sir, he
saw nothing of the kind.
Peter reached that hole hardly half
a jump ahead of that dog. But, in
stead of diving through that hole
Peter made one of those quick turns
for which he is famous. It was done
so quickly that the dog didn't even
see him do it. The dog had seen that
hole in the hedge and expected Peter
to dive through it. He had a plan of
his own, had that dog. Just at the
instant he expected Peter to dive
through that hole he himself jumped
over the hedge. Of course, he lifted
his eyes to do this. He expected to
land on Peter when he came out on
the other side. So, having lifted his
eyes in order to see where he was
jumping, he didn’t see I’eter make
that quick turn.
Never was there a more surprised
dog than was that one when he landed
on the ground on the other side of
that hedge and saw nothing of Peter
Rabbit. He didn't know what to
make of it at all. He was sure that
Peter had dived through that hole He
had expected to land on I’eter when
he came out on the other side. He
was sure that he had planned his
jump so that he could not fail. But
he hadn't landed on Peter and no
Petee was in sight. The dog looked
up along the hedge, he looked down
along the hedge. There wasn't a sign
of Peter Rabbit. Then he ran a little
way up along the hedge with his nose
to the ground. Then he turned and
ran down a little way with his nose
to the ground. There was no scent of
Peter Rabbit.
All the time Peter had been running
as fast as his long legs could take
him. He had been running twice as
fust ns he had run with the dog be
hind him. By the time the dog had
recovered his wits and jumped back
over the hedge I’eter had reached the
end of it and was back on Farmer

relieved.
Brown's land. In fact, he was safely
in an old hole once dug by Johnny
Chuck.
"Caw. caw, caw!" shrieked Blacky
the Crow delightedly. “Peter is smart
er than I thought. Yes. sir, he is
smarter than I thought."
