Stories J
By THOKNTON \V. Ill KOKHS.
An empty rtnme< h dulls the witi.
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
