THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1931 A PAIR OF SOFT EYES When eyes are soft, and limped jon too, "Watch out lest they Co things to a you. oo, --Peter Rabbit. Up in the Old Pasture Peter Rabbit had found signs. Yes sir, vishe had found signs. Here some ie elover leaves had been recently manipped off. There a mew path +Ssunder the brambles nad been cut. 2.2Jt might be the work of Old Jed LZiThumper, the gray old Rabbit "who had lived so long in the Old Pasture that he seemed to think he owned it, but Peter had a 3zrowing feeling that it wasn't. That new path, for in- «i stance, didn't look like his work. ««It was just a wee bit too small. "Someone else is living around ~.v here or my name isn't Peter Rab- oo bit," he muttered. "I wonder who it is? 1 really ought to find out. Of course it is all right for a stranger to move in here, but one 'really should know who is in the neighborhoed." Right then and there Peter had a queer feeling. Yes sir, Peter had a queer feeling, He had seen nothing and heard nothing to give him that queer feeling; it had just come over him all in a flash. It was the feeling that some one was near by and was watching him, At the safne time he felt no sense of danger. Whoever it was was harmless so far as he was concerned. That feeling made him uneasy, but not with the uneasiness of fear, He sat down and preiended not to be interested in anything. In fact, he pretended to be dozing in the way all Rabbits love to do, ing with his eyes among the brambles and bushes and in the weeds for the one he was so sure was watching him. He yawned and stretched, and in doing so changed his position so that he could see better in another di- rection. All the time that feel- ing that some one was near and watching every move he made grew stronger. He began to get a bit impatient. It was annoying --very anpoying--to feel that some one's eyes were upon him, yet be unable to even guess where those eyes were. So Peter~sat and shifted and sat again and looked in vain for somebody in his neighborhood and began to grow provoked, for not a glimpse of any one had he been able to obtain, At last he could stand it no longer. "I'll find him," he muttered angrily, "and when. 1 do I'll teach him a lesson." Again Peter looked In vain. He peeked into brambie-tangles and under and behind bushes and ran this way and that way and was not one bit the wiser. Two or three times he thought he heard the rustling of a leaf and stopped abruptly to listen instead of hurrying in that. direction. Fin- ally, very much out of sorts, he stopped to rest. The moon was up and the OLl Pasture was bewitching night. It reminded Peter of the nights long ago-when be used to come over here fo the Old Pasture to court little Miss Fuzzytail, the daughter of Old Jed Thumper, dnd now Mrs. Peter. He grew quite sentimental thinking about it, He had. had just such experiences then. Miss Fuzzytail had been very shy and more than once he had known she was watching him when he couldnt find her to save him. Right in the midst of these memories he again began to have that queer feeling. Some tne Was watching him again. He knew it. He began again to carefully look all about without seeming to do so and for a time it was just as before. Then suddenly a wander- ing little Night Braeze moved an overhanging branch and a ray of moonlight fell full = on a little brumble-tangle. Peering from it Peter saw two eyes, two soft eyes filled with admiration. He saw this evep in that brief in- stant before the branch again cut off that ray of moonlight, "Ha!" exclaimed Peter under his breath, and at once sat up to his full height to show how big and handsome he was. He pre- tended not to know he was being watched. He swelled himself out to look as big as possible and turned this way and that. In but all the time he was search- flooded with soft light. It was a short, he did every thing he could .think of to show off and all the time he watched sharply for another glimpse of those soft eyes. But the owner of them was shy and he didn't see them again that night. When at length he hopped over to that bramble- tangle in a careless mapner, as if by'chance, he found no one there.

ESTIMATED COSTS OF RELIEF MOUNT About $60,000,000 Outlay By Municipalities and Provinces Planned Ottawa.--A computation of the proposals of the various prov- inces for works designed to re- lieve unemployment {indicates that the Dominion Treasury so far is called upon to put up be- tween $25,000,000 and $30,000,- 000. This is the -share of the Federal Government as disting- inces and municipalities. The programs ,submitied by the outside Governments are yery beavy, even after being subjected to modification. FEx- amination of the details involves so much work that a special com- mittee of the Cabinet has been set up to deal with it, As what is sought from the Dominion Treasury calls for about $30,000,000--if the pro- jects are endorsed--the total outlays projected including those of the provinces and municipali- ties would be just about double that or $60,000,000, Each of the plans submitted is being scrutinized, some outlays hejng agreed to and other re- jected. The last to come in iz the British Columbia budget which was received recently. The presumption here is that these works for the relief of un- employment will be defrayed out of an internal loan but the pro- ceeds of it will cover other Gov- ernment commitments as well. Discussions and consultations have occurred as to the proposed flotation but as yet there is noth- ing definite as to its time and terms. A successful internal loan would be construed as the best possible evidence of that public confidence which is considered essential to complete the recov- uished from those of the prov- ery from the depression. MANY VISIT AFRICA"S PARK Krueger National Park, in South Africa, attracted more visit- ors this year than ever before, and is reported to be usurping the pop- ularity of seaside resorts as a place for vaeations. The visitors live in "rondavels," which are mud and thateh huts and strong bolts on the inside reassure the timid. Cars are stopped at the gate of the Reserve by keepers, and the occupants previded with sealed rifles, to be used only in self-defense. The camp consists of a number of rondavels, and a store where canned provisions may be bought and mattresses and furniture rented. Each ron- davel has behind it an open fire- place where cooking can be done, and native boys may be hired, as servants. Visitors are warned to keep close to their cars in the Re- serve. Lions apparently cannot smell of ! gasaline, and ignore cars. SHEIK TAU NDRY M AN CAUGHT Sadek Abbas Hussein, chief of a marauding band of edouin Arabs, is back again in p n at Beyrouth, Syria, and Syrian au- thorities are resting peacefully once more while the famous horse- man and marksman starts again to serve a sentence of 20 years. Feared for his surprise attacks on travelers between Syria and Palestine, Hussein was captured by a desert patrol and sentenced to 20 years in Beyrouth prison / ac ache b escaped and made his way to lexandria, Egypt, where he open- a laundry. Business grew, and 1ssein prospered and registered ppiness. But Syria had appealed the Palestine and Egyptian au- orities to watch for the sheik, d an Egyptian policeman made e arrest, thus stamping the undryman disguise as a com- lete "wash-out."
