NO ONE CALLED HIM FATTY . NOW

You find it is in Natures plan What one must do one always can. — Johnny Chuck.

In the fall Johnny Chuck ad gone to bed fat. He was the fat est person on all the Green Meadows, so fat that he was called “fatty." He was so fat that when he moved about he waddléd. I-iis coat was so tight it looked as If it might burst. He didn't travel far from his own doorstep. He didn‘t dare to because he was tot; fat to run. or course he didn't have to. for there was plenty to eat close at hand. That was one reason he had become so fat. 80 Johnny Chum went to bed for the winter so tat that it was a wonder he managed to curl himself into a hall which is the way he sleeps.

He didn't wake up until it was time for sweet Mistress Spring to arrive. He wasn‘t so fat then be- cause during his long sleep some of that fathad been used up to keep him alive and warm. But he was still about when Peter Rabbit saw

him for the first time. It was the clay Johnny awoke. Peter never had been so fat in his lite. He runs about too .much ever to get. really fat.

It was a little more than a week later that Peter saw Johnny again and what a change! In fact Peter didn't know him at first. This wasn't wholly because he was no longer fat and roly-poly. It was partly because he met Johny a long way from his home on the Green Meadows. You see, most of the time Johnny Chuck is a homebody and seldom goes very far from his own doorstep. It was such an unexpect- ed meeting that for a minute or two Peter sim-ply stored in the most impolite manner.

"You are Johnny Chuck, you?" Peter ventured.

“Who else could I be? You do ask the most foolish questions." re- plied Johnny crossly.

“You've changed. At first I took you for some one else," replied Peter lamely. "You're so thin! What makes you so thin?"

“Of course I'm thin. How can one stay iat without. eating? Just try it for a while. And what is there for me to eat?" Johnny Chuck spoke sharply.

Peter had to admit that there wasn't much yet. He was himself tired of bark even though tender, but he was still eating more or less of it.

"I have to run about a lot to gel: what little there is. It is only a bite here and a bite there. and

south made I good and "bravs“ bid when he mentioned his anemic heart suit on the second round. out having done so, perhaps he should have “retired" when North than bid only three. not (our, hearts. This comment, however, is not too pointed, because the fact is that South had a fair play for the game he bid so aggressively.

West opened the club jack; East collected two club tricks and cor.- tinued the suit, West false-carrh ing on the third round with the ten. South ruffed the third i'l;.ib. and took time to consider various lines of play: Obviously, ii’ he hail known that West held the blank king-queen of trumps. South could have crossed-rulfed for ten tricks but, not knowing, he decided on a plan which seemed to offer a. good chance for success.

South cashed dummy‘s top dia- monds and ruffed the third round of the suit. driving out East's queen. Now. with two long diamonds es- tablished. South led the heart jack. west played the queen and dummy won. A low trump was then led to South's blank ten.

This was the "killer," because East's eight of trumps, even ihough blank. had to win the set- ting trick. if declarer ruffed ‘.312 club with dummy‘s seven-spot. East would overruff immediately; if he ruffed with the nine, East's eight would be promoted to winning, rank.

West deserved credit for waging the defence he did, but it was

South's bad luck that the cards were “stacked against him." I

“So what?" asked Peter.

“So I have used up 1host of the iat I had under my coat when i woke lip. of course I look thin. Why

. shouldn't I?" retorted Johnny, then

added hungrily, “Do you know where there is any nice tender green food a fellow can eat?"

Peter didn't and slid so. "Li I did I would eat it myself," said he.

“I woke up too soon. I always wake up too soon," complained Johnny.

“Then why don't you go back to bed? That is what I would do were I in your place," said Peter. .

“No. you -wouldn't. You would do just what I am doing. You can't go to sleep when wide awake and hungry. Just try it, Peter Rabbit. Just try it," Johnny retoried. Of course he was right and Peter knew it.

"You are a. long way from home. Do you know the way back?" i don't care. Maybe I'll dig a new home somewhere. Anyway. I'm go- ing to look about a bit," replied Johnny Chuck.

“You want to watch out. You know you can't run last," warned Peter.

“Who says I can't run last?" re- torted Johnny indigantly. "You have forgotten something."

“What have I forgotten?" de- manded Peter wonderingly.

Johnny Chuck grinned. “That no one calls me ‘Fatty’ now. and that makes a dli‘l’erence." said he.

Peter grinned too. It did make s difference. It made a big dliference.
