Presently he saw something moving out from among the rushes on the far ther side of the Smiling FooL At first it looked as, if some fallen rushes were floating out' of their own aocoio. Then he made out a little brown head In the middle of them. Peter knew Instantly that it was - Jerry Muskrat bringing mors rushes for that house, "llello, Jerry I" called Peter. . Jerry didn't reply. It couldn't- Tou see. his mouth was full of those rushes. K knew better than to-try to talk with his mouth full. When he reached his house he climbed out of the water and dragged the rushes np on the roof. Then, without saying a word, he - carefully . worked them In place where ha wanted them. When he had fixed them to suit himself he sat down to rest "lie! 10, letrr," said be. nig eye twinkling, "What Is new la the Great Wo rid r- "ivotktag much that X know of." re pDed Peter.
