Fear
' By ThomtonVW. Burg
’Tia true, although itrsounds most queer,
That fear is overcome by fear. - , l1
- -—Sooty the Chimney Swift.
, .Peter Rabbit, on the bank of the
3318 River, was so excited that he
couldn’t keep still. He had seen Sooty
mthe Chimney Swift meet with anac-
cident out over thef'very middle of
the Big River and fall into the water.
At first he didn’t know what. had be—
omega: Sooty. .Ee looked for him
to rise from the .water again. but
Sooty didn't. ' _
"Oh, dear!" cried Peter. “Can it
be that Sooty has been droiwned ?”
hen something moving for out on
the weter caught his attention. At
first all he could see was a. little
black .spot that-seemed to be movmg.
Presently he made out that it: was
coming nearer. It. was movin in the
queerest way. It seemed to e flop—
ping along on the surface of the
water. It would disappear behind .11
little wave and then he would see It
again on‘ the top of the next little
wave. At last he made out what it

nothing will happen to him before he'
gets here."
It was ust then that Peter’s long
ears cans t the sound of footsteps,
heavy footsteps. "behind him. He
turned to look hastily. There was
Farmer Brown's Boy, comingrover to
the i2 River. Peter ducked down
and then crept behind a little bush
from which he could, watch Sooty
and at the some time keep an eye 0n
Farmer Brown’s Boy. ,
Farmer Brown’s Boy came straight
down to the edge of the Big River
and there he stood, looking out
across the water. Almoat at once he
caught sight of a little black object
that seemed to be floppin along
on top of the water. “T at’s a
queer-looking thing," thought Farmer f
Brown‘s Boy, as he watched it draw?
nearer. "I wonder what it can be.
It can’t be a fish, and I don't know
of any animal that swims like that."
Ina-Jew-‘minutes Sooty was near
enough for Farmer Brown's Boy to
we clearly. “As I live!” exclaimed:
Farmer Brown's"Boy. “it is Sooty the
Chimney Swift! He has fallen into
the water and can't t back into the
air. If he keeps on, e'll come ashore
right here. It will be a wonder if a
big fish doesn‘t snap him up before
he gets here."
So Farmer Brown’s 80y watched .
watched Sooty anxiously, and still
more anxiously Sooty watched the
shore. He saw Farmer Brown‘s Boy
and for a moment despair tool: poe-
sesslon of him. You see, he never had
been afraid of Farmer Brown's Boy
because he never had had to go near
enough to Farmer Brown's Boy to be
afraid. But. now he was helpless, and
when he reached shore there would
be no way to escape from Farmer
Brown’s Boy. .
But it was only for a moment
that. Sooty hesitated. Fear of Farmer
Brown's Boy was overcome by the
greater fear of what might; happen
to him on the water. So he kept
right on going, flop, flop, flop, flop.
and with every flop he drew. nearer
to the shore and to Farmer Brown’s
Boy.
With a last: flop be reached the
shore. He was too tired to lift a
wing when Farmer Brown's Boy
stooped and gently picked him up.
He was too tired even to be afraid.
Whatever mi ht happen to him now
couldn’t. possi ly be worse than what
might. have happened to him had he
not reached the shore.
