THE JEALOUSY OF JOHNNY CHUCK

Jealous people always say . It isn‘t so; they're not that way. ——Oid Mother Nature.

The Wee!‘ thing about it is that when jealous people say they on not jealous they really believe it. The more jealous they are the more "10? insist they are not jealous You see jealousy is one of those things you can see in others but cannot see in yourseli.

Johnny Chuck was jealous and didn't know it. He had discovered another Chuck in a hole in 3 com. er of Farmer Brown’s garden and Just the slant or him instantly lili- ed him with ruse. Yes, sir. it did Just that. It made him mad clear throush (pr that Chuck was a stranger and had no right to be thee. That is the way Johnny Isl: about it anyway. He wasn't living in that garden himself and had no intention or living there, but that made no difference to Johnny. He Simply didn't want any stranger Chucks in the neighborhood. but »he ooruldn t have told why. Not then 3-RYWEY. He just didn‘t want them; that was all. He didn't want them in that when or in the Old Orch- ard or on the Green Meadows. You might have thought he owned those places. 01' course he didn't. That

I! Josephine Culbertson . RESCUE BID!

In the early days of contract, re- scue bids somehow or other ac-

In view oi the weakness of me North hand. and in further view 01 South's lack‘0d winners or “in- termediates." it was inevitable that the partnership should suffer some loss on the deal, but, there was certainly no reason to take A loss of 1100 points! North was too passive~or perhaps too deieatist. The bidding told him clearly that South -was probably in serious trouble at one notrump-—quite aside from a. player’: own hand, certain weight must be placed on the op- ponents’ actions under such cir- cumstances. Thus. West's leave-in at his partner's delayed double was slgniiicaht. and while North could not anticipate a calamity (any more than West couldl), common prudence and sell-protection sug- gested an eiort to “wriggle out."

Naturally, North did not like to "increase the contract," but this was a case oi perhaps being able to save a great deal, at a small ex- tra risk. Thus, North should have tried the rescue bid of two dis- monds. Ii that was doubled. he would probably end up at two

stranger had just as much right to be in that garden as Johnny had, and he knew it. He had dug that hole there and moved in after John- ny Chuck had gone to bed for the winter and this was how it" hap- puled that Johnny had known no- thing ‘about him until now.

The stranger was out on his doorstep now. He was big. almost ix not iuily as big as Johnny himself. He was young. and later when there -was plenty 01 new grass and clover and other green things to eat and he had iilicd out a little and had his new spring coat he would be a very good looking Woodchuck, very good looking in- deed. And he wasn't afraid. lie wasn't the least bit afraid. He an- swered Johnny snarl for snarl and growl ior growl.

"You can't stay here," snarled Johnny.

"Who says I cant?" snarled the other.

"I do." growled Johnny, and drew back his lips to show how sharp his teeth were. I

The other did the same thing and his teeth looked quite as sharp as Johnny's. I'm here and rm going to stay, so what are you going to do about it?" he growled.

Johnny Ghuck didn't say. He just snarled a little louder. and growled a little uglier. and moved a few steps nearer, He wasn't afraid at this stranger. not a bit. There wasn’t a cowardly hair in Johnny chucks cost. For that matter there wasn't a cowardly hair in the

that way. Asa rule they don't go looking ior trouble but it trouble comes their way and they cannot avoid it, they always are ready to light. And they are good fighters as many a Dog has found out to his surprise and sorrow.

so now these two were not afraid or each other, but each was walt- ing lo: the other to start the fight. At the same time each was watch- ing tor an opening that would give him an advantage. Meanwhile. they kept snarling and growling and threatening each other. Now oi’ course ,it was Johnny Chuck's place to start a. ﬂght it he was to make good his threat to drive the other away. The other was defend- ing his home as he had a. perfect right to do. With his back to his doorway there was no chance ior Johnny to get at him excepting ace in lace.

In the midst 01 that growlingand snarling there sounded a whistle Irom not very is: away. Both heard it. It acted on Johnny chuck as if it was the signal to start xighhing. He knew that whistle. He had heard it too oiten to be mistaken. He didn't even turn his head to see where it had come Irom. It was Polly Ohuck’s whistle, Johnny made a ‘den rush and he and the stranger were locked to- gether, rolling over and over, kick- ing, clawing. biting. Johnny knew how what he was fighting tor.‘ He was lighting for Polly Chuck. He was siraid this stranger might try to lead her away. He was jealous. And he hadn't waited to ilnd out ii’ there was any cause ior him to be. Jealousy is like that.
