The Smiling Pool was covered with a sheet of ice. There had been snow, but there was none now and the ice looked almost like Vatlll black water. Peter Rabbit had gone over to the Smiling Pool from the dear Old Brier-patch. Of course he had no real business mere. But Peter is one of those folks who seldom have any busi- ness anywhere. Folka who do not work usually are that way. Happy- go-lucky Peter isn't a worker. He had gone over to the 3111111111 P001 just out of idle curiosity.

"I didn't think," replied Peter.

"Do you ever think?" asked .lerry. This wasn't at all nice or mrlgeter pretended not to notice it- ”I don't like this cold weather. (10 you?" said Peter.

"Yes," replied lerry Muskrat- "I certainly do."

"What?" cried Peter. "Do WI! mean to tell me that you like hard times?" - -

"Who says these are hnrd times?" sqneaked Jerry. His voice is always squeaky.

"I do." said Peter. "Everybody does."

Jerry Muskrat shook his head. "Not everybody." said he. "I don't. Johnny Chuck doesn't."

"Johnny Chuck doesn't count. He's asleep," said Peter.

"Ii he's asleep he certainly isn't finding these hard times," squeak- ed Jerry. "I don't believe Happy Jack Squirrel is finding these hard times. nor is his cousin Chatterer 'the Red Squirrel."

Peter hesitated. He didn't know lust what to say. "Perhaps you are right." said he finally. "I don't suppose tthoss who have plenty to eat really have a hard time just because the weaihe is col ."

Jerry Muskrat swam over to the edge of the ice and climbed out. He shook the water from his coat. Peter shivered. How could any one swim in icy water and then climb out in a bitter cold wind.and

The. two men talked about he weather, politics. farming prob lems. and what not until quiteta late hour. Then Henry left for his home, taking a short cut through the fields and Thomas lighted his pipe and looked over some hills which were overdue because that year the crops had been below standard and money was about as scarce as hen's teeth.

A short time later he put out the lamp and fell asleep-and the still alive pipe slipped from his hand and the burning tobacco spilled

At this time Henry was home and in bed-but not asleep. Sud- .denly, he said later, he felt an overwhelming urge to return to Thomas' house. He tried to shake off the feeling but Just couldn't, somehow. Lke an automaton, he got out of bed and retraced his steps back to the Thomas farm. He found Thomas fat asleep in I blazing bed.

Retires From Canadian Navy

O'l'1'AWA (CP) - When John Grant Khowlton was a boy of nine in Saint John, N.B., he decided he wanted to be a, sailor. Rear-Admiral Knowlton, now 52, today ends a so-year naval career, one oi the most distinguished in ge history of the Royal Canadian

IVY.

"If I had the choice. I'd do the over again," he said Thursday in an interview in his second-floor office defence department.

The navy wanted Admiral to stay on as chief of ' services, a job he has held for nearly nine years. but he wanted to retire to get in some

on deck, to greet him.

"Wonderful ship. ey?" the sen; eant said proudly.

"Everything is ship shape on this ship."

A feeling of uneasiness cut across the other's heart as he followed his friend to the stateroom. What is it? He felt as if the walls were crushing him. Then tluning to his friend he said, "Let's get out of here, -I just can't take it, nonle- how." The sergeant looked at him in surprise. "Why say that?"

"I can't explain it. . .but Iwould- n't sail on her for all the gold in Alaska!"

Sergeant Wagner laughed loud and long. "The only way one could be trapped in a stateroom would be by a shell or torpedo in battle."

So saying the two parted com- pany. and Col. Stacey never saw his friend again. Why? Because the Maine was ordered to Havana. The rest is history. As she lay in harbor an explosion sank her at 9.30 p.m. Sergeant Wagner was in his stateroom at the time. The door
