Next morning Lopey Longears was wakened from a delightfully exciting dream by a pounding at the door. He sat up, quite startled, The spring sunshine was flooding the place, and a bird somewhere nearby was trilling happily. At the door he found Mrs. Bun, her face quivering with grief. "Oh, Lopey Longears!" she cried, "my little Billy! You must help me to get him home again. He did not stay behind as I told him to last night. I thought he was with Grampy until I went for him this mossaing. He must have followed us and got lost!" Other rabbits jained them, and they started out on their search for little Billy, A!1 that day they looked for him, in the woods and fields, even --venturing near some of the farmhouses, but no- where was he to be found. "When night conies, I shall go into the village to look for him!" de- clared Mrs. Bun, rher eyes red with weeping. Glared Mrs. Bun, her eyes red with Callie Cottontail. "I shall just go to bed and sleep, for I am tired." "But you are not his mother!" said Mrs. Bun. "1 shall go df I have to go atone!" "1 will go with you," promised Lopey Longears, "and so, I am sure, will Nannie Nibbler and Whaley Whitey." "We will go, too," said Fleetfoot and Racer. When night came, many others joined them, and they startedeout once more. As they came to the edge of the village, they found that the streets were brightly lighted, and ' ninny people were walking about. The town clock boomed out, striking eight, and the rabbits huddled together in fear, some of the more timid scurry- ing back toward the forest. "We will wait," said Lopey Long - ears. . "By and by the people will be asleep in their homes, and then we will be quite safe," 1 When the streets were deserted,I the bunnies trotted about, poking their noses into many strange places, Sammie Springer ventured into a hen- house. where he remembered some eggs had been Left, but was sharply !necked by a sleepy rooster, while all The Chalice of the Y ears.

"1 hope it is almost breakfast time. You will seawhat nice things the •children can bring us." After a while, Racer came back, bringing more of the forest bunnies back with him. Grampy Gray settled down on Fuzzy's nice beet. "This is what I want for my old age," he said contentedly, "A good little, house, warn and dry, and kind friends to bring me my food." "Yes," said Grammie, carefully brushing sortie dust from the window, "eve will live here always." "Look, look!" called Little Billy. "the children are coming -with our breakfast."

Wholesale looting of inerchandis in transit on the railroads of th United States caused a loss of ap proximately $45,000,000 in. 1919, ac cording to United States Railroad Ad ministration statistics made public re cently. • This is estimated tle be more than double the losses silstained in any pre-war year, but it is pointed on that the increased cost of the com rnodities stolen, roughly estimated to average 85 per .cent„ must be taken into consideration when comparing the losses in the days of low prices with losses now, Nevertheless there has been a steadily increasing num- ber of packages' stolen, and the or- ganization combating the thieves have met an increased ingenuity in divert- ing goods froth their owners. A technique ,elf robbery has been developed so highly that the methods of "master thieves" are similar in the United States, England, France, Italy and Argentina,: according to a recent report of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Argentina. Detec- tives, •however, are inclined to dis- credit that ,organization's belief that a "widespread international organiza- tion" is at work stealing merchandise. Substitution is the usual method used by the thieves. Sometimes boxes supposed to contain velvets are found at their destination to' be filled- with calico or other cheaper grades of cloth, but as a rule, waste paper is found. These are referred to as "con- cealed losses" by railway men, and are especially difficult to tree, as the shipment leaves and arrives ap- parely in good condition, and it is almost impossible to discover at what point the theft occurred. The silk industry has been one of the most severely hit in the last year, and so great has the risk become that the Railroad Administration has been considering excluding raw silks from the privilege of freight transportation by rail. The Merchants' Association of New York, through its traffic bureau, has protested against such an exclusiokt, advocating some less radi- cal measure to minimize or prevent the theft of silk in transit, e 1 [ HOMEMADE EASTER CONFECTIONS _ y Taster, •the queen of festivals, is one of the moveable feasts of the .
