To do or not to do? Which one .

Will prove to be the best when done. ,

-Johnny Chuck.

Johnny Chuck was in I dilemma. When one is uncertain whether to do a certain thing or not to do it. he is in a dilemma. Sometimes a dilemma is serious. very serious in- deed. Sometimes it isn't serious at all. Johnny Chuckls dilemma now was really serious. He was up in A small tree not far fi'oni his home. at the edge of the Old Pasture where itjnins the Green Meadows. It was it new hoine. He had worked hard and taken a great deal of paths in digging that home. Johnny had ex- pected to live there all summer; and probably sleep there all winter. and now something dreadful had hat)- pencd. Buzztail the Rattlesnake. one of the poison people. had dri- ven him out of that home. Perhaps Buzztail didn't intend to stay. Perhaps he had already come out and gone on his way. Johnny had no means of knowing. By this time Buzztail might have gone back up to the ledge in the Old Pasture where he lived. Again. he might have decided to stay in John- ny Chuck's lllldCl'El1'illlld house. The only way that Johnny could find

this he didn't. dare do. Nor did he dare stay much longer in: in that tree. From where he sat Johnny could look over on the Green Meadows and along the edge of the Old Pasture. He could see Flip the Terrier still poking around looking for somebody to chase. It was Flip who had (li'ii'eii him up that tree af- ter Buzzlail had driven him out of his house. Sitting tip in that tree as he was, Johnny felt conspicuous. This means that he felt that he was likely to be seen by any one who should come along that wav. So he was anxious to get. dowli out of that tree. yet he didn't want to do it. while Flip was around. It wasn't. that he van a coward. Hi- wasn't. There isnt a cowardly hair in Jnhi-my Chuck's cost. He is a splendid tighter when he must fight He had fought with that dog once. and won. He.fclt that he could do it again if he had to. but then again he might not win. "I don't know what to do.” mut- tered Johnny. "I can't go home. I can't try to get over to Peter Rab- bit's dear Old Briar-patch while that Do; is around. and there is no other nlace for me where I will he safe. I don't know what to do. No. sir. I don't know what to do." Finally. he saw some one coming across the Green Meadows in his direction. It was Farmer Brown's Boy. Now Jrihnny was more worri- ed than ever. Farmer Brownls Eov would be sure tosee him up on that tree. it was true that Farmer Brown's Boy iieverliaciliiirt. him. or tried to hurt him. Had he been on the ground, Johnny would have felt dit- ferently. on the grmind he could run if he felt that he had to. On the ground he could fight. Up in that tree. he couldn't do a thing. He was mute helpless. Although he had climbed up to where he was sitting. and had done it without much trouble. he couldn't move a- bout easily and as fast as Happy Jack Squirrel and the other Squir- rel folk do. so Johnny felt that. he was quite helpless there. and that was I. horrid feeling. Nearer and nearer came Farmer Brownls Boy. Johnny waited as long

and ran into the bushes. He could go up in the Old Pasture and keen out. of night until Farmer Brown's Boy left, and this is Just. what he did.

At ion: last lrariiier Brown's Boy went. home again. He took mm with him. Jnlinny stole back where he could see his own front door, He wondered if he would see Buzz- tnll the Rattlesnake taking a sun- bath mi that doorstep. Buzztail wasn't. there. no one was there. Johnny moved forward a little at a time. Finally he was up on that doorstep: himself. For ll long time he sat there looking into the dark hall that led to his hedroom. Was Bruzzlail down in there? Then he visited in turn each of his hidden back doors. but. he didn't venture
