-Old Mother Nature. Day was just- breaking as Mrs. Peter Rabbit crept. into the dear Old BrlBF-patcli, "where have you been?" demanded Peter sleep"?- for he, had been out all night him- self and had returned only a few minutes before. Mrs. Peter pro- tended not to hear. Peter was too sleepy to repeat the question. Perhaps he guessed where she had been and knew better than to be too inquisitive. She had been feeding and watching over It: precious babies all through the long nigiht, but Just where was her secret. Not. even Pctcr knew. She had learned long ago that the surest way lo keep a secret is t0 share it with no one. Those si_x babies were out on the Green Meadows in a slight hollow in the ground. hidden by the growing grass all around it, and by a blanket of dry grass and fur from her ow-n coat. S-he was with them only after dark. Then there were fewer watchful eyes to see her coming and going. and such as there were could not see for more than a short distance. Some- times Mrs. Peter wondered if any but Rabbit mothers ever had to spend so many hours ewoy from their babies, not daring to go even near enough to peep at them once in a while to make sure that they ‘were all right. ' When they were born they were

"Wihat babies?" replied Mrs. Peter, pretending she didn't know.

Reddy grinned again. “Don't tell me you haven't any," said he. "1 know better. 0t course you have. If it were not so easy to catch Mice I would look for them." Once more he grinned and trotted on to the Old Pasture.

Hardly was he out of sight when Harrier the Marsh Hawk, ﬂying only a few feet above the ground, passed rigiht over those hidden babies. Again Mrs. Peter's heart seemed in her throat. Later- Mrs. Harrier, hunting her breakfast while Harrier took his turn at keeping their eggs warm. also passed over those precious darlings without suspecting they were there.

Twice during the day Mouser t-he Short-cared Owl, who often hunts by day passed near enough to set

helpless mites. Each day while away from them she worried. Of course. What mother wouldn't? But while they were so tiny and helpless they were in much lees danger then when they grow older. Youree they slept practically nil the time through the day. lying close together beneath their pro- tecting blanket and not moving. As long as they were perfectly still the keenest, eyes would see noth- ing worth looking at twice. But as they grew mother’; worries grew. Growing children can't keep‘, still all the time. Little logs must be kicked and stretched. What if! that should happen just as keen‘ Pres were looking at that. blanket’!

Once Redtail the Hawk dropped into the grass so 3105p in where those bunnies were they, Mrs. Peter was sure he had seen them. but when he [lapped his way up again he had a Mouse, Black Pussy hunted in the hBlgh. borhood, and late in the after-noon Mrs. Raddy brought three young F0": down on the Green Meadows for a lesson ln hunting, Mrs, peter did no sleeping that. day,

By the same tokeh, South could not think of making any call over Blast/s one heart. Then, when west raised on two hearts, North stili could not. afford any action, because there was no way oi his knowing whether East had s strong. a medium, or a weak hand. ~ When. however.
