good work for the cause and the
editor is not discouraged. The en-
terprising people of Sullivan County
see the need of a new court house
which will provide a safe place for
the records of the county and for
keeping record of the land titles
ETC., of the county. A good fire
proof court house is something
which a county cannot afford to be

placing of the records would cost
more than a new fire proof court

These spring days were beautiful days
on the Green Meadows. It seemed to
Johnny Chuck that the Green Meadows
never had been SO lovely or the songs of
the birds so sweet. He had forgotten
all about his old friends Jimmy Skunk
and Peter Rabbit, and the other httle
meadow people. You see, he couldn't
think of anybody but Polly Chuck. and
he didn't want to be with anybody but
Polly Chuck. He had even forgotten that
he had started out to see the world. He
didn't care anything more about the
world. All he wanted was to be where
Polly Chuck was Then he was perfectly
happy. That was because Johnny Chuck
had found the greatest thing in the
world, which is love. But Johnny still
had one great wish, the wish that he
could show Polly Chuck just how brave
and strong he was and how well he could
take care of her.
One morning they were feasting in
patch of sweet clover over near an old
stone wall. 1t was the same stone wall
in which Johnny Chuck had escaped from
old Whitehall Marshhawk when Johnny
was a very little fellow Suddenly Polly
gave a little scream of fright. Johnny
Chuck looked up to see dog almost
upon them. Johnny's first thought was
to run to the old stone wall. He was
nearer to 1t than Polly was. Then he
saw that dreadful dog would catch Polly
before she could reach the stone wall. A
great rage filled Johnny's heart, just as
It had when he had fought the old gray
Chuck. Every hair stood on end. not
with fear but with anger, and he sprang
in front OF Polly.
Run, Polly, rum he cried, and Polly
ran.
But Johnny didn't run. Oh. my, no!
Johnny didn't run. He drew himself to-
gether ready to spring. He showed all
his sharp teeth and ground them savage
ly. Little sparks of fire seemed to snap
fear in Johnny Chuck then, not the least
bit Just in front OF him the dog stopped
and barked He was little dog, a young
and foolish dog, and he was terribly ex-
cited. He barked until he almost lost
his breath He didn't like the looks OF
Johnny Chucks sharp teeth. So he cir
cled around Johnny. trying to get De-
hind him. But Johnny turned as the dog
circled, and always the little dog found
those sharp teeth directly in front OF him.
He barked and barked until it seemed as
liz he would bark his head off.
Finally the little dog, who was young
and foolish. grew tired of just dancing
around and barking. Pooh. said he to
himself Hes nothing but Chuck!
Then he stopped barking and sprang
straight at Johnny with an ugly. growl.
Johnny Chuck was ready for him, and
he was quicker than the little Cog. His
sharp teeth closed on one Of the little
dogs ears, and he held Oh while with his
stout claws he scratched and tore.
The little dog. who was young and
foolish and hadn't yet learned how to
fight. couldn't get hold Of Johnny Chuck
