PETER AND HIS TOES
At Redcar in Yorkshire lives Peter O'Dell, a cripple of nine. An illness has robbed him of the use of his limbs, but he lias found a way of overcoming his difficulties, for ho has learnt to do many tilings with his toes. Always cheerful, and usually in company with his love-bird, his dog, his rabbit, and his tortoise, Peter has taught himself to type with his toes. He can sketch with a pencil or a crayon between his toes, and is able to tune in tho wireless and operate his model railway.
Many boys and girls write to him, and he always delights to receive cheery messages. His address is St. John's Grove.
