now and then making little rushes at him and pretending to be very bold and terrible. He hoped to get chance to catch Johnny Chuck at disadvantage. He had no desire to engage Johnny in a fair fight. But when Jimmy Skunk stepped out he changed the whole situation.
 Jimmy Skunk's big plumy tail is a sort of danger signal to those who know Jimmy. As long as that tail hangs rather low, there is nothing to fear from Jimmy Skunk. When that tail begins to go up, then it is time to watch out. From the mo- ment that Jimmy appeared Reddy Fox had kept his eye on that tail. As Jimmy advanced, Reddy had backed away. With every step that Jimmy Skunk took that tail went up little; so that finally it was dangerously high. It said to Reddy Fox just as plainly as Jimmy could have said it in words, If you don't look out, Reddy Fox, youll be in trouble" Reddy understood it per fectly. He did his best not to show that he was afraid. In every word he said and every move he made he was most polite. No one can be more polite than can Reddy Fox.
 Were you on your way home, Reddy?" inquired Jimmy Skunk,

 At Philip Neritzens adulatory comment upon my powers of mem ory, there settled suddenly into place the cogs of my mental machinery which l admit had been a bit diffi- cut of adjustment during the min ute which had followed my accep- tance of his invitation to take me to the library.
 He was too self-centered a man, too absorbed in the great artistic projects which were his, 10 share las car and his solitude with a cas- ual acquaintance, like me, unless he had some definite reason, that was of importance to himself for the &C., ton. It was not to compliment me upon my memory that he had in- vited me to ride to my destination In his luxurious car, and was sure that I misjudged neither his arro- gant selhshness nor h!s detached ab- sorption from ordinary things in my belief that I could have been soaked 10 the skin with the drenching rain. and received no invitation to drive with him had he not planned the Interview beforehand.
 Nadge Retains Her Potse
 The curtain rolled back swiftly from 8 picture in my memory gal lery. and I saw myself as a girl fresh from training school for teachers, entering upon my first po- sition. What high-hearted ambition, and zest of combat had been mine. Although Philip Neritzen had said no definite word to warrant my be- lief that I was included in his scheme of work for his cherished now production, vet l felt again against my lips that heady draught. the prospect Of combating the diff culties of a new and coveted posi- tion-and triumphing over them.
 I knew, however. how fatal 1t would be to anticipate Mir Veritzen by so much as an unuttered ques- ton mark. l was not so sure that he could not read my presumptu- ous thoughts, and hurriedly ran up protective screen of words around my thrilled imaginings.

 NO" said Reddy. No, I am on my way to meet Mrs, Reddy."
 Don't let us keep you" said Jim my. moving forward again. You mustn't be late for your engage ment. If there is anything I dis like, it is to have any one who has an appointment with me, late"
 Oh" said Reddy, q won't be late. There's no hurry" He was edging around so as to get behind Johnny Chuck. You see, he thought he could take Johnny at a disad- vantage and he was willing to run some risk for the sake of doing this. Johnny Chuck seemed so intent in watching Jimmy Skunk that he didn't appear to be watching Reddy at all.
 Jimmy Skunk saw this and he grinned to himself. He knew just what Rcddy was hoping to do. So Jimmy pretended to notice nothing fllu El til lutillS lONFltu HIS lttll, b uol off to one side lay an old sheet Of bark. Jimmy at once thought of fat beetles. He turned his back on Reddy Fox and ambled over to that piece of bark. He turned it over. Sure enough, under it were two fat beetles, Now. ordinarily Jimmy Skunk moves slowly and some peo- pie have the idea that he cannot move quickly. They should have St en him with those two fat beetles. AS quickly as you could wink your eye Jimmy had a black paw on each fat beetle. You know he has a lik- ing for fat beetles.
 Reddy Fox, meanwhile, had got ten somewhat behind Johnny Chuck. Johnny was watching Jim- my Skunk catch those beetles. Red dy saw this and also saw that he might possibly jump on Johnny Chuch before Johnny could turn. What Reddy didn't see was that Jimmy Skunk was watching him from the corner of an eye all the time. Just as Reddy gathered his feet for q swift jump, Jimmy Skunk abruptly turned and ran toward Reddy. and Jimmy's tail was high over his back. For a second Rcddy didn't move. Then he grinned. It was a sickly sort of grin,
 I'm sorry to have to leave you so soon," said Reddy, but I've just recalled that Mrs. Reddy told me to be early, and 1 really must hurry In order to keep the engagement. Good by, Jimmy. Good by, Johnny. I hope I'll met you again soon."
 Then, pretending 10 be very digni- fled, Reddy Fox turned and went back down the little path. Jimmy Skunk looked at Johnny and grinned. "Reddy's engagement was rather sudden. dol.t you think 2" said he.

But if you are not a member of that 6isterhood which treks to beauty parlors with irreproachable regularity. you may do your nails like this at home. Ii is called the new French method.
