JL sir. he was excited. It was a long

which is a part of the Green Forest.
It was dark and gloomy in there be
cause the trees grew dose together
and, , being evergreen, which x means
that they keep their leaves al winter,
they shut out the sunlight. '
n Bat Peter didn't , mind thla,is . Tou
see,- he - had 'heard a. voice in there
which; sounded, exactly, like the "voice
of an old - friend, - a voice which he
had not expected to hear again until

if Peter had really; recosnised that
voice the owner of it wag not' big. In

bop only a lew feet and stop to listen.
Just as soon as he: heard that voice
he - would hurry on again.
Now, If the owner of that voice had
remained -in one- place 'Peter might
have found him easily. But be didn't
remain in one place. .That voice would
coma' from a point a short distance
straight ahead of Peter. 'Til find
him this time, Peter would say ' to
himself and away he- would gov llp-perty-lipperty-lip.
When he had gone
what he thought ' was far enough he
would- stop and look all about. Then
he would hear; that ' voice away- off to

do the same thing ever ? again. That
voice didn t stay put ut was con
stantly moving about. .. ' '
Now. that -eplce- was a chirp, a

November 30, 1782. This preliminary
treaty was embodied with very few
changes in the' general treaty of 1783.
According to its terms, the new Ameri
can republic was to extend from the
Atlantic coast to the Mississippi river.
This made Virginia, the . Carolinas
and Georgia extend right across the
map to the Mississippi, while the coun
try around the Great Lakes -was given
partly to Virginia and partly to New
Kngland. -Some very important con
cessions were also made to the Ameri
can fishermen, who bad been 'used' to
fishing on the Newfoundland hanks.
Through the efforts ef - John Adams,
an agreement was reached whereby the
American fishermen might continue to
fish wherever they had done so since
tune immemorial, and that -they might
land to cure and dry their fish In any
uninhabited spot, except in Newfound
land. There was a long discussion as
to compensation for the Tories in Amer
lea whose property had been seised by
the revolutionists. .The British govern
ment, feeling that it should stand by
those subject whose land - had been
confiscated on account ot their loyalty.
Insisted that the congress pay the vic
tims or popular rury for what had been
destroyed. " The Americans, looking
upon the Tones with deep moral. In
dlgnation, -were not at at. alt Inclined
to pay a cent The difficulty was set
tled when America stated that; though
congress could not order' the separate
states te reimburse the Tories living In
them. It would recommend that they do
so.- Of course, the different states did
uvuuns vi uiq jliuu, -auu me impover
ished Tories never got a-penny. . They
bitterly denounced the: new republic
for.its breach of good faith. .Thus gave
them a chance to air their : feelings.
That was about all the-good it. did
them. - - i ' - . '
