It is as very peaceful in the Green Forest at the pond of Pad- dy the Beaver. The water was as smooth as glass. Like 1 looking glass it reflected the trees of the share. some of them had red leaves. some yellow leaves. One or two were all gieen. and a few were quite bare. Out in the water was a great mound of sticks and mud and grass. But mostly sticks. It was the house or Paddy the Beaver. Over on the far shore Peter Rabbit sat be- nt-ath the broad green low-growing boiigh of a young hemlock tree. He was quite hidden, but it was a place from which he could peep out and see all over and around that little pond. He saw Mrs. Parl-

or come out. She had been inside the house resting. Now she was .”.oat:ng, nith Just her head and a d,,

by no means hopeless. Finally. the SlilulPl0n heart. though a defect. was not ion bad considering that Smith had bid the suit oi'ig;nalh'.

In the filial analysis. then. and in particular View of the vulner- :ib:Eity inhich nirde South's second bid even more zinpressivet, North might hell have thouzht twice about ”haiiging" 5 tiick short: of game.

little of her back showing. In ii moment or two she would go over to join Paddy on the shore near Petcr, where Paddy was cutting down a tree.

There was soineonc else over on the shore of the pond. Peter knew it. but he doubted it Paddy knew it. Paddy was too busy to be look- ing around. Peter was sure that Mrs. Paddy didn't know of the st.rang'.-r, for she had been in the house when first the stranger ap- peared.

Peter d.dn't know who the stratig- er was, and he wanted to know. For some unknown reason he had it feeling that he better not show himself. that it would be beat it the stranger did not know he was there. That sharp face reminded him of Reddy Fox, and of Gray Fox. both of whom Peter had to watch out for all during his life. Those l)('fll'Pl' iolk were so big, and they had such great cutting teeth. that it didn't seem to Peter that anyone smaller than Buster Bear uould even think of trying to catch one of them. Yet. this stronger with thn sharp gray face t-ertainly was creeping lip. YIPRIFY and ITCRTDT I0 the busy tree cutter. C.iuld it pos- sibly be that Paddy was in any real daiiyzcr?

"It :s none of my business, any- way." thought Peter. "I don't want to do anything to lot that strangt-r I am around. I don't like I don't like his

i iknow lhzs looks. No. sir.

looks. I almost know that he would like to catch me it he could. As lung as I sit Still he won't: know I am h':i'c. I wonder if Mrs. Paddy out there on the water doesn't see him. If she does. and doesn't warn Paddy. there's nothing for me to worry about."

So Peter sat still and kept his c.v'.-s rnstciied on the sharp-faced stranger. Was the latter" really creeping along the shore. keeping under cover? If so it was done so slowly that Peter couldn't be sure for awhile. But pxcsently the stranger made a quick move to get behind an old log. Tlteti Peter was sure that he was going to try to catch Paddy. Without really stop- ping to think. Pctcr thumped on the ground hard with his long hind feet. It was his dztnger signal.

Things happened fast then. Mrs. Paddy otit in the water slapped it so hard with her big flat tall as she dived that it made 3 report like a gun. Paddy slapped the ground with h-.s flat tail; and scrambled for the water. Old Man Coyote. for that is who the stranger was, learned for Paddy. but he was Just too late.
