Hard to Tell Where They’ll Mix, But They Will

NEW YORK. —Dr. Cook is loose again, and heading in the general direction of the North pole. All towns north of Haworth, N. J., have been warned to keep a sharp lookout for Doc, who is exceeding the speed limit.

Running with the Doe is Peter, the tame rabbit of Haworth, three jumps to the rear and going strong. Dr. Cook is a cat owned by Frank Knapp, which was last seen after taking a flying leap from the sheltering branches of a tree which it had climbed to escape Peter. According to the people of Haworth, Peter is the fightingest rabbit ever known. He is owned by Rev. Dr. .Jones, but has not absorbed any

religious atmosphere to speak of. Any day in which he doesn’t lick a couple of dogs Is wasted to Peter. He became courageous the other day and attacked William Gilley, who is near-sighted. Gilley thought Peter was his dog until he saw the battle light in the rabbit's eye. He fled. \ Peter wrinkled his hare lips into a grin, and approached Dr. Cook, whq was watching the sport. Doc elevated his tail and cut into the wind. Peter, gained on him, and Doc climbed a tree. Peter leaped tor the branch on ’ hlch Doc was shivering, and almost made it. Frightened, the kitty jumped to the ground and burned the wind for the north. , When last seen they were making for the state line. Doc Cook had a alight lead but Peter WU breezing easily, and drawing closer.
