You see. Johnny's house is not a

W. Burgess

...m..?m....d..-..--- place where that home is to be. is choosing what is called the build- ing site. The loveliest looking house in the world can be utterly qioiled by building it in the wrong place. Jo ; chuck seldom makes that mistake. He does some care- ful looking around before he starts a new home.

This time he was making his home among the bushes along the fence between the Old Pasture and the Green Meadows. Not being a- fraid of work Johnny had dug a loig hall before he even thought il- bout a. bedroom. It was real work. All that sand had to be dug loose and pushed outside. It made a great mound just outside the doorway. That mound really was Johnny's doorstep. Oi course with that yellow doorstep that home could be no secret from those who happened to pass that way. Johnny didn't mind about that. You see. that was not to be his only doorway. But. the other doorways would be secret. There would be no doorsten at any back door. With most. folks the front door is the most important. because it is the entrance in the home. To Johnny Chuck it is the least important.

Johnny explains it this way: "It often is more important to get out than to get in. If you can't get in one place you can usually find another place you can get in. But it you are in it place and can't get out. you are trapped. and there is nothing worse than being trap- ped."

so having dug his long hall with a bedroom at the end, Johnny was now outside looking around to see where a perfect back door could be made. He poked about among the bushes, looking here and looking there. Had you been there to see him, you might have thought he was looking for something to eat. He was hard to satisfy. Johnny be- lieves in perfection. Anything less is not good enough. What a pity it is there are not more folks like Johnny Chuck.

Johnny found two or three places almost good enough. They might have been quite good enough for someone else. but were not for Johnny. so he kept on looking a- round. After awhile he found what he was looking for. It was I stump. At some time or other ii tree had been out there. On one side were

two quite large mreadlng mots. They were mreading just enough and not too much. Growing close to them was a big fern that overhung them. It his back door could be opened between those roots. only the sharp- set eyes looking for it could ever find it.

Johnny went but inside and be- gun to dig. How did he knew ex- actly where to dig? You will have to ask Johnny himself. That is one of his secrets. He was digging a branch hall. He dus that sand out into the main hall. and pushed it all the way up that long hall to his front door and out on the door- step. It was work. Of course. It was hard work. Had that been Peter Rabbit's home he wouldn't even have considered doing all that work. He would have gone without I back

door. But not Johnny Chuck! No. sir, not Johnny Chuck! .ie dug and

dug. If there were roots in the way he cut. them mi. At long last, some- thing happened. What do you think it was? He popped his head right outside. right between the two roots of that stump! He had his perfect back door. There was not even a grain of sand around it, al there would have been if he had started his digging from the out- side.

For a while Johnny sat there with his head out between the two roots. The big fern hung over him. He pushed his way out at last. No one any bigger than he would be a little later could possibly squeeze between these two roots. I-le tum- ed around and went back in. He wouldn't use that back door at all unles he had to. Then there would be no tell-tale footprints around it. Johnny sighed happily. "It's per- fect," said he.
