10 Bedtime

Sammy Jay Is Quite Upset.

Very few people can be all puffed up
with pride without showing it. Happy
Jack Squirrel couldn't. Just to have
looked at him you would have known
that he was feeling very. very good
over something. When he thought no
one was looking he would actually
strut. And It was all because he con
sidered himself a very bold fellow
That was a new feeling for Happy
Jack. He knew that all his neighbors
considered him rather timid. and many
a time he had envted. actually envied.

because they did such bold things and
had dared to visit Farmer Browns
dooryard and henhouse in spite of
Bowser the Hound.
But now he felt that he dared do a
thing that not one of them dared do.
He dared go right into Farmer Browns
house and make himself quite at home
in the room of Farmer Browns Boy.
He felt that he was tremendously
brave fellow. You see, he quite for
got one thing. He forgot that he had
found out that love destroys fear. and
that though it might look to others
like a very bold thing to walk right
into Farmer Browns house, 1t really
wasn't bold at all, because all the time
he knew no harm would come to him
1t is never brave to do a thing that
you are not afraid to do. 1t had been
brave of him to go in at that open
window the first time. because he had
been afraid then, but now he wasn't
afraid, and SO it was no longer either
brave or bold of him.
Tommy Tit the Chickadee knew all
this and he used to chuckle to himself
as he saw how proud of himself Happy
Jack was, but he said nothing to any
one about it. OF course, it wasn't long
before some others began to notice
Happy Jacks pride. One of the first
was Sammy Jay. There is very little
that escapes Sammy Jays sharp eyes
Silently stealing through the Green
Forest early one morning he surprised
Happy Jack strutting.
Huh" said he. what are you feel
ing so big about?"
Like a flash the thought came to
Happy Jack that here was a chance to

anything that you dare do that ] don't.

there many times. In fact, he had

Browns Boy had kept big piece tied
to branch of the maple tree for who

With a hasty look to see that no
danger was near. he spread his wings
to follow Happy Jack on to the win

sure that he really was coming, ana
then slipped in at the open window
and scampered over to table on the
far side of the room, and helped him
