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.
