known SO long was rather lazy, good
natured fellow, always ready to plunge
down into his hole at the first hint of
danger. This Johnny Chuck with his
back to that fence post was different
person altogether. There was nothing
timid about him. He didn't look as if
he knew the meaning Of the word fear.
His hair was standing on end until he
looked twice as big as Peter had ever
seen him before. His eyes fairly
blazed with anger. His lips we're
drawn back so that his long teeth
showed, and very wicked looking
teeth they were. He was fighting mad,
was Johnny Chuck, and he locked posi-

Just little way in front Of him the
strange dog was dancing about and
barking at the top of his lungs. He
would rush at Johnny Chuck and then
stop short as if his courage had sud
denly left him, Johnny Chuck, on his
part, was growing and snarling in a
way that was most unpleasant to hear.
He was daring that dog to como on.

mass on the ground, The dog and
Johnny Chuck rolled over and over so
fast that Peter never could tell which

Chuck's stout hind legs were working
faster than ever they worked when he
was digging a hole, and the claws on
Johnny's feet were making the hair fly

That dog wasn't barking now He
was yelping. Yes, sir; he was yelping.
Peter couldn't tell whether Johnny

dog or the dog was trying to get away

look as II the latter was the case
Presently they separated. Johnny
Chuck scrambled back to his old place
at the foot of the fence post, while the
dog limped away for a few feet and
began to lick paw which Johnny
Chuck had caught between his sharp
teeth. Johnny was still snarling and
growing and he looked fiercer than
ever. That dog looked little hit

shouted directions to srring stagesands.

as he had recovered his breath he
rushed at Johnny again. Then the
same thing happened all over again.
1t happened two or three times. 1t
waa q wonderful fight-a very terrible
fight, Peter thought. 1t was quite clear
that Johnny Chuck was holding his
own. After while it began to look
as if he was more than holding his
own. At last the dog shook himself
free and this time he did not stop. He
limped away across the Green Mea-
dows, whining and whimpering. He
had met more than his match and he
knew it. 1t would be long time be-
fore he would again try to kill a full
grown Chuck.
As for Peter Rabbit. he was filled
with new and very great respect for
his old friend and neighbor, Johnny
Chuck.
