it Johnny Chuck his shadow sees. There's more of winter it you

please. -Old saying.

"no you know what day this is?" asked Farmer Browifs Boy.

"Yes," replied Mother Brown. "It is Feb. 2. Is there anything special about that?"

Fermeg 9rown's Boy chuckled and all the freckles on his face ran together. They always do in hen he laughs or chuckles. "Yes." said he. ”It is Groundhog Day."

"I suppose you mean it is John- ny Chuck's day."

"night," was the response. "This in the day when Johnny chuc lets us know how long winter is going to last."

window. "It Johnny comes out," said she, "he certainly will see his shadow today. It is .1 lovely winter day."

"And it he does come out and sees his shadow, we'll know that winter is going to last six weeks longer, and that is longer than I hope it will." said Tommy.

"But, of course, he won't. come out," said Mother Brown. "Why in the world should he? He goes to sleep for the winter. and this oertalnly is a winter's day. Why in the world should he wake up on this day instead of some other? I suppose that it this were a dull, dark day so that there-wouldn't be any shadow it he did come out, he wouldn't go back to bed to stay any length or time be- cause he would know that winter

iwouldrsoon be over." "Don't tell me you believe t:int.'

”That's the idea," replied Toni- my. "I would like to think that he will come out, and that it is all

true about Johnny and his shadow

fund the winter. But, of course. he

won't come out."

Later that day when he illI.'.;lli ;that no one would be watching ihim, Tommy went over where he lcould see Johnny Chuck's door- step. He ieit a little foolish be- cause he didnt have the least idea in the world that Johnny Chuck would be ilu'tll(C. Perhaps you can guess how surprised he was when he saw some one on that door- lstep. Could it be Johnny Chuck? Keeping under cover, Tommy got ya little nearer. It was Johnny Chuck. There could be no doubt about it. Not only could Toinmy see Johnny Chuck clearly, but he could also see his shadow. Present- Johnny Chuck went back into the house. Though Tommy waited a long time, Johnny didn't appear Il2illl'l.

"Six weeks more or wintcrl" declared Tommy when he got back to the house.

"Don't tell me that Johnny Chuck has really been out!" cried Mother BTOil;Il.

"He sure lias," Lzriniievl Toniiiw. "I not oiily.s:iw him. but I saw his shadow, too. Of course, he must have seen it. So now we know we are in (or six weeks more oi winter."

''I wnndr-r.' said Mother Brown. She had reason to wonder. The next day the weather turinrd warmer. It continued to be mild. The fact was. that year Sweet Mistress Spring arrived earlier

It was Johnny Chuck. Then could be no doubt about It.

Chuck's shadow had cheated. Yes, sir, it had cheated. But Johnny Chuck didn't know it. He had gone back to sleep again.

(A real story or reel children tor very young children)

"De-da-da, bn, bru. be." sung baby Linda in her crib.

"Hello, sister." called out Laurie from his bedroom down the hall. '"rii be right in to see you."

Quickly he crawled out of his warm had, put on his furry blue bunny slippers, and hurried in to see his little seven month old sister, ,

'1-lello, little pet." he said. as he reached between the bars of the crib to pat the baby's hand. she laughed and crowed when she saw him. Her teet began to go. and or! went her blankets.

"Oh. no. Linda, you mustn't kick of your covers. You'll be cold. Walt tiu brother covers you up again.

But baby Linda didn't want to bl covered. Over she rolled on her little tummy, and rcacht-d for her rattle.

"Look at me make the bunnies in your rattle go round and round.” said Laurie. He waved the rattle from side to side. When Linda reached for it. he pulled it qiii:-l-.- ly out of the y crib. How she giirgled and crowed!

Suddenly there was a snap. Olt

rolled the top of the rattle. with the cute little bunnies inside it and rolled in under the crib. All that Laurie held in his hand was the plastic handle. - Down the stairs he went. "Oh. Mommy, I broke sister's rattle," he said, as two big tears came into his eyes and ran down his check: "I didn't mean to do lt."

Mrs. Page looked down at the sad little face. then bent to kiss him. "It's all right it you didn't mean to do it, but I have told you before that sister's playthlrias aren't yours. She has only a few tovs, while you have a big box full.

Lairric sobbed harder. "l was having great fun. and it Just broke Mommv will you get her ii new one? You can take my money to biiv it.

"All right. Lani-ie I'm izlad to see that you want to be a grand boy. Never mind crying. Come I:-t's so and bring sister down to break- fast."

Quick as a wink Laurie rubbed awnv his tears. and out came tht smiles. There was nothing he.lovno' as much as baby Lllldii, Up he went with Mother. for now every- thing would be all right, and hi" was happy again,
