LONG lane leads from Farmer
Brown's barnyard down to his

early one morning Peter Rabbit took
it into his funny little head to run
down that long lane, Now at a cer-
tain place beside that long lane was
a gravelly bank inte which Farmer
Brown had dug for gravel to put on
the roadway near his house. As Peter
was scampering past this place he
caught sight of some one very busy

short, then sat up to stare.
It was Mourner the Dove whom
Peter saw. His body was a little big-
ger than that of Welcome Robin, but
his slender neck, longer tall and
wings made him appear considerably
bigger. His shape reminded Peter at
once the pigeons up at

“Hello, Mourner!” he cried. “What
under the sun are you doing In there?
Are you getting your breakfast?”
“Hardly, Peter, hardly,” cooed
Mourner, in the softest of voices, “I'm
picking up a little gravel for my di-

“Well, of all things!" cried Peter.
“You must crazy. The idea of

HIS LITTLE
DUTCHMAN
By ANNE CAMPBELL
HE CALLS her his “Little Dutch-
man,”
And laughs it her sweeping pride
In the noble state that nurtured
His happy little bride,
I never have seen a Dutchman
Whose soul was not as white
As the walls of his humble cabin,
Scrubbed clean for his delight,
He calls her his “Little Dutchman.”
She has the quaintest ways,
All of the simplest virtues
Glow In her candid gaze.
As she bends above her sewing,
The lamplight on her halr,
He blesses the God of Lovers,
Whose kindness placed her there,
He calls her his “Little Dutchman”
Wrapped in that teasing name
Is every known endearment
That ardent sweethearts clalm,
He cannot find words to tell her
The joy he Is dreaming of,
So he calls her his “Little
man"
A phrase to prove his love!
