just one hop ahead of Johnny Bull's
hungry jaws. JL'cggy was partly hidden
by the leaves on tho twig and Johnny
Bull didu't know sho was riding the
rabbit.
"Grab the rabbit! Hi! Grab it!"
yelled Billy. Johnny Bull reached out
and reached our, but bo just couldn't
rench tho rabbit. And then Peggy,
hanging to the rabbit's ear with one
hand, reached back witli the twig until
Bho could just touch Johnny Bull's nose.
Johnny Bull sniffed and shook his bead,
but bo couldn't get that annoying little
twig nwuy from his nose. Jt teased
him and It tickled him, and finally
Johnny Bull couldn't stand it a Becond

nig sneeze.
That sneeze caused a lot of trouble.
Johnny Bull, as he gave it, was Jumping
across a little brook that ran through
a nog. The sneeze caused Johnny to
duck his head, nnd when he ducked his
head ho lost his balance, und down be
plunked iuto the brook, rolling head
over beels in the cold water. Billy flew
off his back and landed flat in tho mud.
Peggy laughed aloud. Johnny Bull
and Billy looked so surprised and funny
sho couldn't help it. And even the
rabbit laughed,, twltcblug his whiskers
so comically it made Peggy laugh even
harder.
Johnny Bull was mad. So was Billy,
But when they picked themselves out of

laughing ntlthetn they forgot their mad
feelings andgrinned up at Peggy.
"You surely did fool us that time,

Johnny Bull. "That makes mo sick I"
When Johnny Bull said ho was sick,
there was a rustling and (lurry iu the
