At last he reached the ground. 1t
seemed to him that he had never felt
anything so good in all his life as
the grass under his feet. He was
stiff and ached because of the cramp-
ed position in which he had been
obliged to sit so long. He looked
over at Farmer Browns Boy. The
latter was smiling at him. Johnny
deliberately first stretched one leg
and then another. Then, without hur-
rying in the least, he started along
close to the old stone wall
Presently he came to place
where there was an opening between
two stones. A most anxious face
peeped out at him. 1t was the face

Johnny had been a prisoner up in
that tree Polly Chuck had been hiding
in that hole. She had sought safety
there when BoWser the Hound had
first appeared. Later she had started
to come out, but just in time had seen
Reddy Fox. So she had remained
