Anomalous exponents in the rapid-change model of the passive scalar   advection in the order $\epsilon^{3}$
  Field theoretic renormalization group is applied to the Kraichnan model of a passive scalar advected by the Gaussian velocity field with the covariance $<{\bf v}(t,{\bf x}){\bf v}(t',{\bf x})> - <{\bf v}(t,{\bf x}){\bf v}(t',{\bf x'})> \propto\delta(t-t')|{\bf x}-{\bf x'} |^{\epsilon}$. Inertial-range anomalous exponents, related to the scaling dimensions of tensor composite operators built of the scalar gradients, are calculated to the order $\epsilon^{3}$ of the $\epsilon$ expansion. The nature and the convergence of the $\epsilon$ expansion in the models of turbulence is are briefly discussed.
