STORIES
The Chucks Decide on Place for "A
Home
Blest is he who has a friend,
True and loyal, to the end.
Johnny Chuck.


Johnny Chuck and Polly Chuck
had turned up the Long Lane which
leads up to Farmer Browns barn
yard, and, as usual, Polly Chuck
was in the lead. Though Farmer
Browns Boy didn't know it, they
had been in the Long Lane once be-
fore. Farmer Browns Boy was
following them, but by the time be
turned up the Long Lane they had
disappeared. He knew that they
were somewhere in the bushes grow
ing along the fence on either side,
but he didn't stop to look for them.
You see, he knew that they prob
ably were looking around for a
place to make a new home and he
feared that if he looked for them
he might drive them away. So he
kept on home.
OF course Johnny Chuck and
Polly Chuck saw him pass. Johnny
Chuck's eyes softened. There goes
one real friend" said he.
That is one reason we are going
to make our home here in the Long
Lane" replied Polly Chuck over
her shoulder.
Johnny Chuck frightened up. He
was tired of roaming about and
10 eaXtlad
have really decided on place for
our home" said he.
IT didn't say so.'' retorted Polly
Chuck. 1T is going to be some
where in this Lane, but just where
1 don't know yet. We must look it
over very carefully. We want to
PICK just the right place.
Eyes, my dear. Of course" replied
Johnny Chuck meekly. Whatever
suits you will suit me-"
So Johnny meekly followed at the
heels of Polly as she, led the way
up one side of the Long Lane. OF
course, they kept in the bushes,
close to the fence. They didn't
hurry. Polly examined every likely
looking place with greatest care.
When they reached the upper end of
the Long Lane they crossed over
and went back along the fence on
that side. Just as she had done on
the other side, Polly examined every
place that was at all promising.
Finally they got back to the lower
end of the Long Lane where it
opened out Onto the Green
Meadows.
Johnny Chuck looked discouraged
and disappointed. He sighed.
What is that for?" demanded
Polly Chuck.
Nothing, my dear, nothing" re-
piled Johnny. I'm just a little tired,
and 1 rather hoped we would find
the place we want over here"
I'VE have found it," replied Polly
Chuck.
Have WEI" exclaimed Johnny.
"I-I-didn't know it."
well, you will know it in a few
minutes" retorted Polly Chuck.
You follow me-"
Obediently Johnny Chuck tagged
along at her black heels. She led the
way half way up the Long Lane,
on the right-hand side. At the foot
of a young tree close to the fence
Fshe stopped. Here we are" said
she.
