Not 80 very many years ago sturdy
little girl was tossed by her father into
the saddle and she rode before him from
northern California to Oregon and from
Oregon to Mexico. Even in those
courageous days and in the far west
where the grown-up generations had en-
dured pioneer hardships, this was feat
of great hardihood for any girl-child to
perform The wonderful journey stirred
powerfully her sensitive imagination, and
set a thousand gypsy spirits to dancing
in her blood. And ever since Harriet

has penetrated into regions where no

on his feet again. But he was all out
of breath and so frightened and tired
that all he could do was to kick and
kick. He hadn't seen Jimmy at all. for
he had been looking behind him. and he
didn't even know who it was he had run
into.
Right behind him came Mr.. Blacksnake.
OF course, he saw Jimmy, and he stopped
short and Kissed angrily.
What are you going to do to Mr..
Toad?" demanded Jimmy.
None Of your business" Kissed Mr..
Blacksnake. Get out of my way or you'll
be sorry
Jimmy Skunk just laughed and stepped
in front of poor old Mr.. Toad. Mr.. Black
snake coiled himself up in the path and
most impudent way. He tried to make
himself look very fierce. Then he jumped
straight at Jimmy Skunk with his mouth
wide open, but he took great care not to
jump quite far enough to reach Jimmy.
You see, he was just trying to scare
Jimmy. But Jimmy didn't scare. He
knows all about Mr.. Blacksnake and
that really he is coward. So he sud
denly gritted his teeth In a way not at
all pleasant to hear and started for Mr..
Rlacksnake. Mr.. Blacksnake didn't wait.
No. sir he didn't wait. He suddenly
turned and glded back up the Crooked
Little Path, kissing angrily. Jimmy fol-
lowed him little way and he kept right
on going. Then Jimmy went back to Old
Mr.. Toad.

Jimmy Skunk Is Just in Time.

After Jimmy Skunk had pulled over
the big piece of bark and found Old Mr..
Toad under 1t instead of the fat beetles
he had expected, he had started on down
the Crooked Little Path. and as he
ambled along slowly he chucked You SEQ,
he was thinking of what a hurry Mr..
Toad had been in as soon as he had heard
that Mr. Blacksnake had walked from his
long winters sleep and had asked after
Mr. Toad. 1t had been funny, very
funny. tndeed-to see Mr. Toad try to
hurry.
Suddenly Jimmy stopped chuckhng.
Then he stopped ambling along the
Crooked Little Path. He turned around
and looked back, and as he did so he
scratched his head thoughtfully. He had
just happened to think that Old Mr.. Toad
had gone up the Crooked Little Path
when he had left in such a hurry. and
1t was up the Crooked Little Path that
Mr.. Blacksnake had shown himself that
morning.

asked me where Mr.. Blacksnake was!
Well, it's none of my business. 1 guess

But he had gone on down the Crooked
Little Path only a few steps when he
stopped again. You see, Jimmy is really
a very kind-hearted little fellow. and
somehow he didn't like to think Of what
might happen to Old Mr.. Toad.
II hate to go back there" he grumbled,
for you know he is naturally rather lazy.
Still, the Green Meadows wouldn't be
quite the same without Old Mr. Toad. I
should miss him if anything happened to
him. ! suppose it would be partly my
fault. too. for If I hadn't pulled over
that piece of bark he probably would
have stayed there the rest of the day and
been safe"
Maybe he won't meet Mr.. Black
snake" said a littl, voice inside Of
Jimmy.
And maybe he will said Jimmy. right
out loud. And with that he started back
up the Crooked Little Path. and, strange
to say. Jimmy hurried. You know. it
isn't often that Jimmy Skunk hurries for
anything or any one.
