THE ADVENTURES OF PETER AND PAM, THE TERRIBLE TWINS

One bright day in holiday time Pam had a good idea! “Let’s play hide-md-seek. Peter,” she said. “You wait here, I’ll go and hide, and then you must look for me.’’ “Fine,” agreed Peter. “And we'll try to find you, too.” chuckled Spot. Smut and Micky the Mouse also thought it would be great fun.

Pun ran off. and Peter and the family waited a few minutes to give her Imo to hide. Then they started in search of her. They had not gone far when they espied her hat peeping over the top of a sand-hill. ‘ ‘ How stupid, ’ ’ laughed Peter- “Why on earth cauldn ’t she hide properly? You simply can’t help seeing her!” Then others laughed, too, and thought Pam was very silly tot to have found a better hiding-place. They crept nearer.

teach her a lesson.” giggled Peter, picking up a pebble. “Watch this into her hat. and then watch her jump up in surprise!” Away pebble: it was well aimed, and it landed with quite a little thud in of Pam's hat. They waited, but nothing happened. The hat never neither did Pam. “Strange,” muttered Peter.

••Let’s go further round the hill,” suggested Spot. “Quietly, now, we lon’t want to disturb her until we jump upon her unawares! ’ ’ So they crept round, and soon observed Pam’s little shoes sticking out at the bottom of the hill. “I spy you, Pam,” shouted Peter suddenly pouncing upon the shoes. “In fact,” barked Spot, “we all spy you. Pam; you’ve found a very poor hiding place. ’ ’ Still the hat never moved, and the shoes remained quite still! “Funny!” remarked Spot, in a bewildered voice.

“We must go and find out -what has happened,” cried Peter, suddenly feeling rather nervous. “Something may have befallen her.” And round the hill they bounded, to find nothing but a walking stick with a hat fixed on top and a pair of shoes placed beneath! Pam’s tousled little head popped up over a nearby hill, and she waved her arms and laughed delightfully at their surprise. “Had!” gasped Peter. “Had!” echoed Spot. “Had!” mewed Smut. They all looked crestfallen. Th:n Peter smiled again. “I’l teach her!” he cried, making a dart in Pam’s direction.

But Pam was too quick again. “Like to roll me in the sand, wouldn’t you. Peter!” she laughed. “But you’ll have, to catch me first! I’m feeling very bright to-day!” And away she went like the wind, with Peter and the family hard on her heels. Pam was in a mischievous mood, and she dodged here and there, mixing her pursuers up so completely that they never caught her until she got home. Then she met them with crossed fingers, and they had to cry “Pax.”i, X< >!!..- Look out next week for some old friends, and some new ones, lour old favourites are coming back to tell more of their amusing adventures.
