You 'know he i .such a timid fellow himself that he is the one who usually gets the fright. So When he does happen to scare someone It always tickles him. Somehow he al ways has mere respect for himself. v; When on that .moonlight night he dis covered Mrs. Bear's secret over by the great windfall : deep in the Green Forest, Peter had the most mixed feelings he ever had known. First came surprise. as he saw those two little heads poked put of Mrs. Bear s entrance. He was sitting up very straight, and the sur prise was ; so great that he all but tumbled over backward.-. You see, there was no mistaking those two little heads for any but . those of baby Bears. ,He knew that those were two' Bear- cubs. Mrs. Bear's babies, the secret she had kept hidden ;so long under the great windfall. ' And his 'surprise at seeing those two little heads was only a ' little greater than' his surprise at the smallness of them. So for perhaps two minutes Peter sat motionless, quite overcome with surprise as he stared at those two -funny little hea'ds poked out from the - entrance under the great wIndfallv.Then, all in a. flash, he understood the cause of Mrs. Bear's short temper and the reason she drove everybody away from .there and . he felt a sudden panic of fright. j . . "This is no place for me," thought Peter, "and the sooner. I get away from here the better." He looked hastily all abouL1- There was .no sign of Mrs. Bear. Right then and there curiosity took pos session of. him. 1 . - "I wish those youngsters would come out where I can see them and just how big they are," thought Peter. "It seems . safe enough here now. and perhaps if I wait a few minutes: they will come out. : So Peter waited.; sure enough, in a few minutes the two little " cubs did PIANesj To Rent ! j I W I - w J Why' rent a sec ond hand piano when you can secure one of A m e r i c as finest pianos on our exceptional rental plan?

It was their first glimpse of the Green Forest, and Peter almost laughed right out at the look of wonder on their faces as vthey stared an aDout in the moonlight. out not even nis first surprise was greater than Peter's surprise now as he saw how small, they were. "Why," he exclaimed to himself, "why-ee. they are not much bigger than I ! I didn't sup pose anyone so Jbig as great big Mrs. Bear could, have such small children. wonder how old they are? I wonder how big they were when they were born? I wonder If they will grow fast? l suppose Buster Bear is their father, and I wonder If he ever comes to see them? They look to me rather wabbly on their legs. I wonder if Mrs. Bear told them they could come out?" And then the imp of mischief whls perea to reter. . I wonder if ' I can scare them," thought Peter. "It would e great fun to scare a Bear, even if it : is notnmg but ' a cub, and to scare two at once would be greater fun." Peter suddenly thumped the ground very hard with his hind feet. It was so still Jhere in the Green Forest -that that thump sounded very loud. The two little cubs gave a startled1, look toward Peter. As . he sat up straight in the mppnllght he looked very- big. That is. he- did to l those Jtwo little cubs, who had never seen him before. With funny Ht tie whimpers of fright they turned and -'fairly tumbled over each other as- they scurried back throught the entrance under the great windfall. : Peter laughed and . laughed until ; his sides ached. t lie, Peter Rab bit, actually had frightened two Bears and made ; them run! fNow he would have something to boast about.

Munger of the forest manage ment division of the United States for est service has been appointed Oregon representative on a committee named by the Ecological Society of America for the purpose of securing the setting aside of certain .representative areas of vtfgin forest, natural mountain meadows', un- drained swamps and prairies as pre-. Berves where botanists, zoologists and entomologists, and other scientists might" study nature in its primitive form. George 'B.-Rigg of the University of Washington is chairmanof the commit tee for the general West. Xregon stands in no immediate dan ger of losing ; her naturalness," said Munger. "but we must safeguard against the experience of other states. In the Middle West, for instance, there ia no longer any natural prairie, such as the buffalo roamed over. With the commer cial development of Oregon we are faced with the same situation unless we set aside certain preserves of this sort. : Hot Lake Arrivals Hot Lake April 2.
