And »*n«u of caution often quits. —Peter Rabbit. The End of a Pleasant Surprise. Peter Rabbit was back in the dear Old Briar Patch before daylight after Jiis feast on the tender hark of some fruit trees* in Farmer Brown’s young orchard. It was tne most satisfactory meal he had had for some time, and of course lie told little Mrs. Peter all about it. The next night he slaited back to that young orchard. He did his host to get little Mrs. Peter to go with him. But little Mrs. Peter was too timid. She did her test to keep Peter at home. ‘•you'll get in trouble one of these nights. Yes, sir. you'll get in trouble as surely as your ears are long,” said she. ■'Pooh.'’ replied Peter scornfully. ■'I’m old enough and wise eriough to keep out of trouble, my dear. You ought to taste that young hark. It is worth risking a lot for. But really there isn't any risk. Come along and see for yourself.'' But little Mrs. Peter wouldn't leave the dear Old Briar Patch,' and Peter wouldn't heed her pleas to stay at home, so away he went lipperty-llp perty lip, straight up to that young orchard. His one thought was to get more of that tender young bark. Im agine how surprised he was, and how very much delighted when lie discov ered lying on the snow a cabbage leaf, it was frozen, put Peter didn't rnind that. He sat down right there and ate every bit of that cabbage leaf. It was so much better than bark that he wanted more and at once started to look for another. He found some bits scattered along on the snow. They led him along until presently he came to a queer-looking box. It was open at one end. The last bit of cabbage leaf lay Just within this box. Peter stared at that box a bit sus piciously. He didn't remember seeing it there the night before. He hopped around It. It seemed perfectly harm less. Very cautiously Peter ap proached the open end. He reached in and got hold of that piece of cab bnge leaf. Nothing happened He finished that bit of cabbage leaf, and then poked his inquisitive little nose Into that box again to f ? if there might, be another piece of cabbage leaf in there. That inquisitive, wabbly little nose of his began to work in great excite ment. "Parrot;’’ exclaimed Peter un der his breath. I smell carrot'.'' It seemed too good to be true. But Peter knew tliat it was true, for he knew that he could trust that wabbly little nose of his. He didn't hesitate a second. He hopped right inside that box. There was carrot Hum! II Was a small carrot, and It was stuck on a little stick at the end of ii;.' .. J pi ti r s.eii-d. it wt .. -i happiness A carrot in the middle rf' vein ter! It warn too (toon-.pl liotisly. carrot. Rang! 'Something had hap lened! Peter was in' complete dark ness. That box was no longer op"n at one end. In a panic of fl ight ISe tried to back out. He couldn't. He was a prisoner. He was In a trap. Yes. -ir, he was in a trap. That innocent-look ing box was a trap. tCopyrixht. 1»24 > The next story; "Peter Spends * fad Night.'’ t Arrested on Same Charge^ George I’ellar. machinist of Aveij Neb., was arrested twice, in two d.f ferent counties, for the same offense Wednesday.
