eyes. IL Was star tllnS the way
it had changed Judge Owl into ca
and Sylvester, the grinder
into money.
Billy Belgium was surprised, bu
it was the funny side of the situation
that struck him the hardest.
Now you ought to turn the rea
monkey into an organ-grinder so he
can have his turn at being bss,' he
suggested.
That seemed a good idea.
u wish the monkey to become
an organ-grinder," said Peggy. Al
once Tony, the monkey, disappeared
and in his place was swarthy or
gan-grinder.
Tony was ,astonished. At first he
seemed to go wild with joy. He
danced and he sang. Then he
grabbed up a stick and started after
the shivering Sylvester to make UP
for all the beatings he had received
But now a policeman came along
While Tony was dancing around
slashing at Sylvester, and Sylvester
was dancing around trying to dodge
the stick, the policeman put hand
on Tony's shoulder.
Here, here, you're under arrest
for cruelty to animals" he said.
Tony, who hadn't been man
long enough to know how to treat
policeman, jerked away, hit the
policeman on the nose, knocked off
his hat, jerked up Sylvester, and
darted away down the street.
The policeman, with below OF
rage, rushed after him at full speed
doesn't the policeman look like
a bulldog?" laughed Billy Belgium
Wouldn't it be funny if he were
one?" :,
"Oh, I wish he were bulldog"
cried Peggy, and then to her dismay
she saw her wish was granted. tor
the policeman became, big bulldog
tearing after Tony with snarling
jaws. g.,
Tony ran like mad, The bulldog
was gaining on him with every leap:
Suddenly Tony saw high board
fence inclosing a garden. His
monkey instincts caused him to go
for that fence. Throwing Sylvester
ahead of him he leaped high, caught
the top, and drew himself up. But
he didn't draw up soon enough. for
the bulldog launched himself into
the air, his teeth fastened into
Tony's coat tails, and there he hung.
Tony struggled and yelled. With
a mighty effort he threw himself
over the top OF the fence. But the
bulldog still chung to the coat tails
So there was Tony hanging on one
side of the fence, and the bulldog
hanging on the other. They looked
so comical, Peggy and Billy nearly
split themselves laughing. To make
matters wrose for Tony, the monkey
picked up a stick and pounded him
over the shoulders.
Suddenly there was the sound OF
tearing cloth, the coat tails tore OFT
the bulldog fel to the ground. and
Tony disappeared in chase of Syll,,
vester. The bulldog picked himself
up and darted around the corner,
seeking way into the yard.
Judge Owl is right, you'll gel
into trouble with that Imagination

Peggy have her fun"
The idea popped into Peggy's head
that she would like to see how
Reddy Woodpecker would look if he
were really raven.
On the instant big, black, crow
like bird avs sitting in the tree
where Reddy Woodpecker had
"Croak! Croak" said the big
crow-like bird. "I'll show you what
a Raven would do to Blue Jay
With that he went after Blue Jay
fervely, and Blue Jay fled for his
life.
Gracious" said Peggy, I'D bet
ter turn Blue Jay into Hawk, SO
he can defend himself"
Instantly Blue Jay became a
hawk, but instead Of going after the
raven he made straight for Judge
Owl. 49,
