He was seeing Buster Rear awaken from his long winter sleep. It was something very few people have ever seen. Tt was soniething he would remember all the rest of his life, hut that Just then he would rather not have seen. Ruster was making the queerest noises. There were whines and grunts and growls all mixed together. He snuffed and snorted. He drew long breaths. Peter crouched as far back as he could get and, making himself as small as he could, shivered and shook. Buster began to twitch his big legs and then to kick them out. You know he was very stiff. He was a long time shout It, but at last Ruster got to his feet. Peter held his breath. Would Bus ter look around In that bedroom of his? Put Ruster didn't. He shook himself. He bad stopped making those strange noises. He was making only one noise now, and that was a growl, a grumbly, rtimblv growl way down In his throat. He was back to Peter. He was looking out toward the entrance. Slowly, oh, so slowly he began to move toward that en trance. He moved very slowly. He grunted with every step. It seemed to Peter that he never would get to that entrance. Very softly Peter stole along be hind him. He didn't dare get close to Ruster's heels, but he wanted to he near enough to run out of that bed room at the very first chance. At the entrance Buster poked his head out and then he stood .for a long, lory;, long time, lie couldn't seem to make up his mind to go out. Once he half turned as If he had derided not to go out. You should have seen Peter Bnhhlt scurry hack to the very hack of that cave. My, but Peter was scared! But Buster didn't s^r him. Once more he put his head outside and stood blinking and looking about, lie sniffed the air. He kept sniffing and )11 apt It seemed to Peter that he never would get to that entrance. sniffing. He grumbled at the enow. "I've waked up too early." growled Buster in his grumbly, rumbly voice. "I've waked up too early. I may as well go back and go to sleep again." But he didn't go 1>ack. He put one paw out in the snow and then drew it bark. He did the same tiling with the other paw. Finally he went wholly outside and stood looking around. Now Peter was right at his heels. Now was his chance. With a great Jump Peter bounded out past Buster Bear, and away he went ltpperty-ltp perty llp. My, how Peter did run! He made straight for a pile of brush and crept into it. Not until then did he look back. Buster Bear was standing right there at the entrance to his bedroom, blinking his eyes. •Now where did that long eared rascal come from?” grumbled Buster with a funny look »>f surprise on his face. ”1 didn't see him anywhere about. Yet he seemed to run out from right under my nose. If I were hun gry I’d just go pull that pile of brush to pieces. But I don’t feel hun gry I don’t feel as if I had any stomach at all. I guess I’ll look around a bit and then I’ll go back and finish my sleep.” So without another look In Peter's direction Buster Bear slowly shuffled away. Peter drew a long breath. Then he looked around sharply to see If Reddy Fox was snywhers about. Iteddy wasn't. Peter drew an other long breath, "t can’t get hark to the dear Old Briar Patch too quickly," aald he and off he started. (Copyright list.) The next story: ‘’Plunger the* Os* inprey Returns."
