No, sir, Peter didnt believe It. He knew that some of his feathered friends built their homes on the ground, Mrs. Grouse, for Instance, and Bob White and Carol the Meadow Lark, but he Just couldnt Imagine a real bird living In the ground. Johnny Chuck told him about It. Johnny had heard the feathered folks of the Old Orchard talking about it. Til believe It when I see It," declared Peter. You know a great many people are WIIKN ! How should 1 know?" .Chug replied Grandfather Frog, gruffly. Because you are so wise that you know everything, said Peter. "No such thing. No such thing. retorted Nobody knows everything, Grandfather Frog, still speaking, gruffly, but It 'was plain to .be seen that he was a wee bit flattered. j Well, you kno.w so. much that It amounts .to the same thing,- - declared Peter. .I have heard such a queer, thing about Rattles the Kingfisher that I cant believe It I guess It ' la Just gossip among .the other birds who don't seem te like Rattles, very well. "What is It you have heard? de-- ' manded Grandfather Frog. That Rattles makes his home In a hole In the ground, replied Peter. "Well, I dont see anything hard to believe about that, grunted Grand father. Frog.. Why shouldn't he live In. a hole In the ground? Why, because he Is a bird, replied Peter. ."Chatterer the Red Squirrel lives in . Delicately Draped UTAH S A LIN A, THE S A LINA SUN, a tree, doesnt he? And hapthe Gray Fquirrel builds a nest in the top of a tree, doesnt he?" asked Grandfather Frog. yees1 replied Peter slowly, trying to see what Grandfather Frog was driving at. "Well, they are not birds; they are animals. If they make their homes In the trees, why should not birds make their homes In the ground? continued Grandfather Frog. This was too much for Peter. Why shouldn't they? There was no reason Then It Is true why they shouldn't. that Rattles makes his home in a hole In the ground! cried Peter. Ttf errurse It Is true, replied Grand father Frog gruffly. There Isnt any reason In the world why it shouldn't be true. Rattles Is a bird of sense. Where Is It? asked Peter eagerly "That Is pone of my business, nor Is It any business '(TT yours, Tiefla red Grandfather Frog. "I never have asked Rattles where It Is, and if I knew 1 wouldn't- tell you. ' I never pry into other peoples secrets, and If you will take my .advice. you wont, either.

Pieter knew lie had learned all he could from Grandfather Frog., so he thanked him and started off.

So Peter refused to believe that Rattles the Kingfisher actually makes his home In the ground, but his curiosity was aroused, and once Peter's curiosity Is aroused he has no peace and he gives his friends no peace until It has been satisfied. So the first chance Peter got he hurried over to the Smiling Pool. He knew that Rattles spends most of his time there or along the Laughing Brook, or over by the Big River, and he knew that the other people who live there must know something about him. Grandfather Frog was sitting on his big green lilypad watching for foolish green flies. Peter has a great deal of respect for Grandfather Frog, who Is accounted very old and very wise. He waited until Grandfather Frog had caught several foolish green files, for he had learned by experience that Grandfath er Frog was a great deal more likely-t- o answer questions when his stomach was full When he thought that it was wise to do so be ventured a question. "If you please, Grandfather Frog, where does Rattles the Kingfisher make his home? asked Peter In his most polite manner. h SPASPA Johu .
