Though hope he gone, Just keep on going;
The end you have no means of knowing.
—Peter Rabbit.
Again the Unexpected Happens*.
Peter Rabbit couldn't see any chance
for escape. Ho knew that he couldn't
tire out Reddy Fox by running. He
himself was growing more tired every
minute. It was harder and hard work
to dodge. He knew that Reddy Fox
felt absolutely sure of catching him
this time and he himself felt that
Reddy had every reason to feel sure.
Still there was just a wee wee bit
of hope left in Peter's heart. Some
thing might happen. Ho couldn’t
Around that turn he went, lipperty

think of anything that would be like
ly to happen, but still sortie thing
might happen. Anyway, he w-ouldn't
give up. He would run and dodge
Just as long aa he had strength
enough to move a leg,
“You may as well give up, Peter
Rabbit,'" Fnarled Reddy nt his wry
heels. "You haven't a chance. Rome
lucky things have happened to save
you in the l>aet, but now I've got you
where I want you. Nothing can hap
pen to save you this time."
Peter thought that Reddy was
right, l.ut he had no intention of giv
ing up on that account. Twice
Reddy"s black paws all but landed
on him as he dodged. Each time Peter
seemed to gain new strength from
the narrowness of his escape. Hut
this couldn't keep up much longer,
and Peter knew it.
At last Peter was out In the Rone
Title Path once more. Just ahead of
him was a sharp turn. Arming, that
turn he went Upperty-llpperty-llp. It
was down hill. Peter, with his eyes
rolled baek to watch Reddv Fox, did
n't see what was ahead of him. And
so It was that he almost ran right up
to Rowser the Hound and Farmer
Brnwn's Boy. He didn't see the latter
at all, but he did see Bowser just in
time to keep from running, straight
Into his mouth. He made a fright
ened leap to one side, and then all
his strength seemed to leave him. Me'

couldn't make another jump to save
himself. He Just fell flat and panted
and panted as If he never would get
his breath.
I’etcr closed his eyes to wait for
the end. But after it- few seconds he
opened them again with such a funny
look in them. He had Just become
aware of a great noise in the Green
Forest. At first he couldn’t think
what it was. Then he recognized the
great voice of Bowser the Hound
Little by little he began to under
stand why Keddy Fox had not caught
him. Keddy had come around that
turn In the Lone Little Path right at
his heels. But Keddy had been look
ing ahead and had seen Bowser the
Hound. Without a pause Keddy had
dodged to one side, and away he had
gone, as fast as his legs could take
him. Bowser hadn't even looked at
Peter. With a roar of his great voice
he had started after Reddy.
Peter heard a step close to him. He
looked up. Farmer Brown's Boy was
standing there looking down at him.
"Your poor little chap.” said Farmer
Brown's Boy, "Bowser and I came
along just In time."
He stooped down and picked Peter
up, and later didn't even struggle. He
carried Peter up the Lone Little Path
until they came to abramble tangle
Then he set Peter down gently, and
Peter slowly hopped Into that bram
ble-tangle He was safe once more. It
didn't seem possible, but it was true.

Committee Favors
World Tribunal
Court Would Unify Concep
tions of International Law,
Report Presented l»y
Chairman States.
Philadelphia, Pa., July P.—Belief
that a permanent court of Interna
tional justice would "give precision by
judicial decision to conflicts arising
from different conceptions of Inter
national rights.” was expressed today
in the report of the international law
committee of the American Bar asso
ciation, presented by James Brown
Scott, Washington, the committee
chairman.
The report said: “Yrair committee
believes that the least benefit which
a permanent court of international
justice would confer upon the nations,
is to give precision by Judicial decision
to conflicts arising from different
conceptions of international rights
and of international dotles, thus tend
ing to secure a uniform, universal
application of them,”
Commending five bills for improve
ment of the administration of justice
now before congress, the committee on
jurisprudence and law reform parti
cularly stressed one that would sub
stitute for the review of judgments
the remedy by appeal instead of the
‘‘cumbersome and experimental wilt
of error,” process prevalent. The bill,
the report stated, had been passed by
the senate and favorably reported to
tho house where it has yet to be voted
on. Passage- of the hill would intro
duce into federal practice a reform
