PETER RABBIT went; back to look for Ms -cousin, Jumper the Hare. He found htm not far from the trreat windfall under which they had been o ure Butter Bear had spent the winter. Peter hastened to apologize to Jumper for? having doubted him. "I've seen Buster . Bear." said he, f and it is true that his ooat Is jost as; it always has been, ias black as black can be. And he . toid me that you were ri$ht about where he spent the winter. lis said he hasn't been near the great windfall since early lant fall. And he said, too, that he .doesn't Intend to come j near it. Why do you suppose he doesn't Intend to come -near it, -Jumper?" " Jumper shook his head. "I give It up." B&Jd he. "I haven't the least idea. There la a mystery, aj great mystery. I&bout that windfall, and I don't like mysteries. Did Buster say that he was afraid to go near ltr "No,' repUed PeUr. f "No. he didn't say that. But now yo speak of it, he acted as if he thought he would be bet ter off if be kept awayj And he advised me to keep away frm it. .too.' He said I would be likely; to live longer If I did. Now what do! you suppose he meant by that 7" Again Jumper shook $ils head. ' "I" he began. "What's that?" He Jumped and ran back a few steps, then sat up to stare at - the great windfall with startled eyes. Peter j did exactly the same thing. . There they sat staring at the ; great windfall. j "Did you hear It?" whispered Jumper. Peter nodded. "I certainly did." he whispered back. "There it is again!" Once more they ran fa few steps and then sat up to stare at that old windfall. For & few minutes j they heard, noth ing. It waa as still ks it can be only ,ln the heart ofi the Gjreeri Forest when mot even a leaf moveaj They could Jiear the beating of their own hearts. Then from that great windfall came a sound that there was no mistaking. It waa a ' deep, grumbly-rumbly grqwl, such a growl as they - had never heard save from the throat of Buster Bear. It waa followed by a whine, and that whine was just such a whine as they 'never had heard, save from the throat of Bus ter Bear. Yet they knew Buster Bear "Did you beat It?" whispered I Jumper. wasn't lit there. They knew that Buster Bear, was over near the pond of Paddy the Beavcf. Peter had left him only little while before and had come straight to this place as fast as his legs could bring .him, and that Is rather fast. Truly .there was something wrong with that great windfall. Buster Bear wasn't under it, yet Bear growls and whines wre coining from It Do you wonder that Peter and Jumper were sadly fright ened and once more took to their long heels? But they didn't go far. They went only far enough to feel safe. Then they sat up to stare at that old windfall again. , They were still frightened, very much frightened, but ' curiosity was greater than their fear at that distance. For a time all was still again. It was still for so long that ' they! began to wonder If they could really have heard those growls and whinea If either had been alone he would have been sure that imagination had played him & trick, But both had heard the same sounds, or thought they had. 80 they stared and stared and waited. Suddenly there was a sharp snort. followed by a deep "Woof, woof ! from that great windfall. Peter and Jumper took to their heels. (Copyright, 1921. by T. W.
