“I say, didn’t you see those funny marks in the corner? What do you think they mean?” She pointed to the left-hand corner of the sheet of paper on which the letter was written. The marks were very faint —but very curious. ‘‘Looks as though his pencil needed sharpening as he wrote them,” said Weenty. Thdre was a long, wavy line, that looked as though somebody had started to draw a map, and three circles, like this, 000, and a cross, like this, X, and under this, faintly written, the words “Find and Search.” ‘‘Find and search,” said Mr. Rabbit. “What a curious phrase! Surely, when you’ve found, you stop searching!” “I could soon find out what it means,” boasted Leonard the Leprechaun. ‘‘Well, then, what does it mean?” said Sou'wester Sam. “Oh, I should need a little time,” said Leonard. “But I should get it in the end.” Sou’wester Sam snapped bis fingers., “Eight,” said he, fetching a piece of pencil out of his pockfet. “Then you go and sit under that tree, and puzzle it all out, while we take a little nap in this hot sun. ” Xow, strange to say, now that they had taken him at ’ his word, Leonard did not look so pleased. But all the same he took the letter and the piece of pencil, and went to the tree a little way off, and sat down. He stared and stared at the paper for some time, and licked the. pencil several times —but that is far as he got. Gradually he began to nod. The heat was very great. His eyes closed, and a faint buzzing noise came from his mouth. Leonard the Leprechaun was fast asleep! He slept for about an hour. Then suddenly he woke up with a start, for no particular reason, just as one does on a hot afternoon. And a disconcerting sight met his eyes. There, on the other side of the tree, very busy writing with a pencil and paper that Leonard himself was supposed to be busy on, was Mr. Babbit. “Help!” thought Leonard. “If he discovers the puzzle before me, everybody will laugh at me—and that*will*not be very nice at all!” Softly, he crept as near to Mr. Babbit “as he could witnout being seen. Certainly, Mr. Babbit was busily at work. “What has he discovered?” thought Leonard. “I must get that payer away without him seeing me, and without him knowing where it has gone!”

(Leonard's busy brain is at work to get the better of Mr. Babbit again. But this time be has set himself a hard task. How will he manage it? Bead all about it in the next story.
