dinner Peter would make. But when
Peter finally did make up his mind
not to tell, he started to turn back,
for then, of course, he didn’t want
to find Buster Bear. Like a red
flash, Reddy was after him.
Now, you know, Peter’s eyes are
so placed that he can see behind
him without turning his head, and
the very second Reddy jumped, Pe-
ter saw him and dodged sidewise,
so that Reddy missed him. But Red-
dy is almost as quick as Peter, and
in a flash he had turned and Peter
had to dodge again.
“I’ll get you this time!” snarled
Reddy.
“You’ll be smarter than you’ve
ever been before if you do,” panted
Peter, dodging behind a tree.
“Caw, caw, caw!” shouted Blacky
the Crow, who happened along just
then. “Go it, Peter!”
Peter went it. He twisted this
way and dodged that way, with Red-
dy Fox right at his heels.
At last Peter saw a great pile of
brush. If he could get under that
he would be safe. He dodged just
in the nick of time, and then, draw-
ing a long breath, he started for
that pile of brush as fast as ever
he could.
Solved Through
Use of Drap*
In a recent investigation, it was
proven that many, many home-
makers use furniture polish incor-
rectly—pouring it on a dry cloth,
for application to the furniture!
This is a gross waste of the house-
wife’s time, energy and her pol-
ish! And the latter is usually
blamed. We refer, of course, to oil
polish—for this type is best to
clean, beautify and preserve the
furniture. The best oil polish is not
greasy, because it’s made with a
fine, light-oil base. The polish
should be applied on a damp cloth
—thoroughly moistened with
water, then wrung out. Saturate
this cloth with the polish—spread
on—and rub lightly. The “wet” of
the cloth smoothly distributes the
polish—and the finish absorbs, re-
ceives it evenly! This correct
procedure takes the “labor” out of
polishing — and requires far less
tiresome rubbing! A dry cloth is
then used to easily work up the
glow, which is even and uniform—
the desired effect! This—and only
this—is the proper way to use a
good oil polish!
The man who cooks up ex-
cuses usually has to eat his words.

So he would run a little way, then
sit down; run a little farther and
sit down. All the time he was so
busy fighting with himself that he
had no eyes for anything else, and
so he didn’t see Reddy Fox hiding
behind an old stump just ahead of
him. At last Peter sat down within
two jumps of the old stump, and
there he fought it all out with him-

tell Buster Bear.
Now, it usually pays to do right.
It paid Peter this time, though he
didn’t know it was going to. You

his mouth fairly watering at the

would make. If he had decided to

would have passed right close to

What about swag draping the win-
