did these things as nearly like his
father as he could.
Black Pussy hesitated. The young
chuck snarled and growIed harder
than ever. and clashed his teeth. He
saw a look of doubt grow in Black
Pussy's eyes. He even made a short

He was very much smaller than Black
Pussy, but he looked great deal
bigger than he was. And he GER
tainly did look fierce.
Black Pussy growled. but the young
chuck growled louder. Presently
Black Pussy backed away a little
further. In few moments she
turned and walked away. She pre-
tended that she had nothing of inter-
est to her there. The young chuck
continued to growl and snarl and
clash his teeth. Black Pussy finally
disappeared. Then the young Chuck
knew that he had nothing more to

frightened Black Pussy when all the
time he himself had been frightened
half to death. He had pretended to
be fierce and dangerous, and pre-
tense of this kind is what is called
bluff. He had bluffed Black Pussy.
