Jimmy Skunk was smiling as he
p ambled toward the old house OF
! Johnny Chuck. near the foot OF the
hill. There was no one there to see
him and this made him smile still
more. You see. the odor OF that
perfume which he had thrown at
Reddy Fox just little while before
was very, very strong there, and
Jimmy knew that until that had
disappeared no one would come
near the place. because 1t was SO
unpleasant for every one. To jim
my himself 1t wasn't unpleasant at
oil and he couldn't understand why
other people disliked II so. He had
puzzled over that a great deal. He
was glad that IL was so, because on
account OF II every one treated him
with respect and took special pains
not to quarrel with him.
81 guess it's good thing that
Old Mother Nature didn't make us
all alike" said he TO himself. Il
think there must be something the
matter with their noses, and sup
, pose they think there is something

there isn't. Not thing. Hello!
There is Johnny Chuck's old house
Just ahead of me. Now We will see
what We shall See
He walked softly az nc drew near
o the old house. II Peter was way
down inside Il wouldn't matter how
he approached. But II Peter should
happen to be only just inside the
doorway he might take Il into his
read to run II he should hear foot
steps. particularly II those footsteps
were not heavy enough 10 be those
Of Reddy or Granny Fox or Old Man
Coyote. Jimmy didn't intend to
kgive Peter a chance TO do any such
thing. II Peter once got outside
That old house his long legs would
boon put him beyond Jimmy's reach
and Jimmy knew IT. II he was to
give Peter the fright that he had
made up his mind TO give him he
would first have to get him where
r1he couldn't run away. So Jimmy
: walked as softly as he knew how
and he approached the old house in
such way as to keep out OF sight
Of Peter. should he happen to be
lying 80 as to look out OF the door.
way.
At last he reached position
where with one jump he could land
right on the doorstep. He waited
few minutes and cooked his head
on one side to listen. There wasn't
. sound to tell him whether Peter
was there or not. Then he lightly
jumped over to the doorstep and
looked In at the doorway. There
was no Peter to be seen.
"If he is here he Is way down
inside" thought Jimmy, Il won.

Now the doorstep was OF sand,

ways are. Almost at once Jimmy
chuckled. There were Peters
tracks, and they pointed straish,
toward the inside Of Johnny Chucks
old house. Jimmy looked carefully
but not q single track pointing the
