crushed and his body badly mangled.
It was 6:30 p. m. when the tragedy
took place. Goff said he was blinded
by an approaching car and did not
see the wagon until he was within
ten feet of it. Then he applied his
brakes, but it was too late, and his
speed had slackened but little when
he crashed into the wagon beat ing the

he ought to have been home long be-
fore jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun be-
gan his daily climb up in the blue, blue
sky, but he wasn’t. No, sir, he wasn’t.
More than one Jolly Little Sunbeam
had peeped In at the door of Unc'
Billy’s home before he came patter-
ing along through the Green Forest.
He was right near the old bramble
tangle wheu he saw Bowser coming.
I
Unc’ Billy promptly climbed a tree.
He hud fooled Bowser once by playing
dead, but lie didn’t intend to try i(
again unless he was in such a tight
place that lie hud to. So now he
climbed a tree to wait until Bowser
should go. and the way home be clear
and safe. So it liappened that he was
where lie could look right down arid
see all that liappened at the old bram-
ble tangle. He saw Bowser go sniffing
and snuffing this way and that way,
ami finally discover I’eter in the mid-
dle of the bramble-tangle. He chuckled
as lie listened to Bowser’s great voice
and watched him try to frighten Peter
into running out of the bramble-tangle.
“Brer Rabbit cert’nly done got a
wise bald on Ids shoulders,” muttered
Unc’ Billy as lie saw that i’eter didn't
move. “He knows when lie is well off,
and Ah reckons Brer Bowser done
gwine to bark his haid off befo’ Brer
Rabbit gwine to so much as shake a
leg.”
At just that very minute Unc’ Billy
got «t surprise, such u surprise that he
nearly tumbled out the tree he was in.
“Fo’ the Ian’s sake!” exclaimed Uric’
Billy. “All reckons Brer Rabbit done
gone crazy! Yes, snh, that’s what Ah
reckons. Ah takes back all Ah said
about him havin’ a wise haid on his
shoulders. He’s crazy! I’o’ Brer Rab-
bit! Ah cert’nly am sorry fo’ him.
He's plumb foolish in his haid and no
mistake.” Unc’ Billy shook his own
head mournfully.
And this is what happened to cause
Unc’ Billy to to suddenly change his
opinion of Peter Rabbit: Peter had
hopped out of the old bramble-tangle
almost under Bowser’s nose! Yes, sir,
he had done just that. It had sur-
prised Bowser quite as much as it had
Unc’ Billy. He had been so surprised
that for a minute he just stared.
Then with a roar of liis great voice he#
started for Peter and off Peter went
