Johnny Chuok sat. on his door- step. He was looking out between the bushes across port or the Green Meadows tn the dear Old Brier- patoh. He sighed. "Here comes Mr. Ouriosity again." said he in him- self. "I wish he would stay at home. he's it nuisance. .He's a friend. but he's a nuisance Just the same.

"I wouidnlt say that," replied Johnny. "A good home have: is finished. When I thing is iinieh- sd you lose interest in it. 1 may want mother back door or I may want another room or two. There always will be something to do."

Peter stared at Johnny as it he didn't understand it at all. "What in the world do you want another back door ion" he asked. l'Isn't one back door enough?"

"It. eould he, and it couldn't be," replied Johnny Chuok.

"By the way, where is your back door?" asked Peter.

Johnny Chuck's eyes twinklod. "Which one?" he asked. .

"Do you mean that you already have more than one?" asked Peter. He looked a. little surprised.

"I have three." said Johnny. and his eyes twinkled more than ever.

Peter's eyes opened very wide. "three!" he evclaimed. "What in the world use have you for three oack doors?" t

"None Just now," replied Johnny Chuck. "I'm looking ahead."

Peter blinked. "What are you looking ahead to?" he asked.

"I dont know. Those back doors may never be or any use. but it 1 should need them. I've got ihem.' said Johnny.

"Huh! That's what I call wast- ing time." said Peter.

"Making sure that you are pre- pared ior anything that may hap- pen never is a waste at time." ra- torted Johnny Chuck.

"Huh!" said Peter again. You know, he is so happy-go-lucky that he seldom looks ahead at all. He just takes things as they come. Now he began hopping about it- mong the bushes around the neigh- borhood of Johnny Chuck's house. Johnny's eyes were twinkling again as he watched Peter. He knew what Peter was doing.

"Mr. Curiosity is looking ior those back doors." thought Johnny. Aloud he said, "looking (or some- thing. Peter?"

"Nothing special. Jizt. looking a- round." replied Peter. He was Iii.- ting right beside the stump be- tween the roots of which was Johnny's periect back door. A iern liung over him. Peter Matched the Merry Little Breezes swaying thal iarn. In tact, he looked straight at Johnny Cl1uc.k's back door and did not see it. at all. He saw a hole be- tween the roots. but there wss nothing about it to lead him to think that it was used for anything or had been recently made. There were holes like that all about in the Green Forest. and in other places where trees grow. ,

Peter stayed quite it while. and all the time he was looking while pretending not to be, and all the time Johnny Chuck was chuck- ling down inside. Just the some he whhed Peter would stay away. "Too
