"All right, Betty," said Uncle Henry. "You can find _Lepus_, the rabbit, yourself. The three rather faint stars just below _Orion's_ right foot make the curve of his back. Join them together with a curved line and extend it forward and downward until it passes through two brighter stars. The lowest of these is in the fore-shoulder of the rabbit. Now draw lines backward from both of these brighter stars, at about right angles to the line that joins them, and you will find the rabbit's hind hip and hind foot. He is lying down for a moment to rest. You see he's been galloping away from _Canis Major_ for such a long time that he is tired." "Poor little rabbit!" cried Betty, and her little face looked so pitiful in the light of the electric torch that Uncle Henry hastened to reassure her by saying that the big dog had never yet caught the rabbit, and by the very nature of things never could. Then she took heart to go on putting in the stars. "Now," said Uncle Henry, "you can find the star in the rabbit's eye by drawing a line forward from the upper one of the brighter stars, and the star in his fore-foot by drawing another forward and downward from his fore-shoulder. That finishes his skeleton, all except his ears. They are made by finding four faint stars just under _Orion's_ left foot, and using two of them in each ear." "Now can I draw his outline in, too?" asked Betty. "I want to make every bit of him myself." "Of course you can!" exclaimed Uncle Henry indulgently. "You've got to let me make all of the horse, then, when we come to him!" exclaimed Peter. "In just a little while, Pete," said Uncle Henry, "we're making the rabbit now." "All right," agreed Peter. Betty had looked longingly at rabbits in pet stores so often that she really did very well at drawing the outline of the sky-rabbit. We leave it to you to better it. You can't--unless you love rabbits more than she did. [Illustration] Betty's brothers were quite astonished, and pleased the little girl immensely by clapping their hands when the rabbit was finished. "Now let me do the horse!" demanded Peter. "What'll be left for me to do?" inquired Paul wistfully, "if you let Pete do the horse?" "That'll be all right, Paul," reassured Uncle Henry, "the sky horse is very large, but we'll give you two smaller animals to do yourself to make up for him--_Aries_, the ram, and _Canis Minor_, the smaller dog." "Fine," agreed Paul. "I know all 'bout rams." The children laughed gleefully. Paul had been butted over once by a ram when they were on a summer visit to their grandfather's farm.
