What Sammy Saw
BY Thornton W. BurRe


You'll find that he the most will see,
Who can himself well hidden be.
Sammy Jay
Sammy Jay. sitting in the top of
. maple tree in Farmer Browne
dooryard, was chuckling. In the first
place, he had made great discov.
cry. He had discovered the lost
member Of the Chuck family. That
would be news to spread all over
the Green Meadows. It would be
great fun to tell Johnny Chuck and
Polly Chuck where their lost little
Chuck was. He could imagine how
their eyes would open and how
they wouldn't know what to do
about it. So just thinking OF this
made Sammy chuckle.
Then he had seen where that lit
tie Chuck had gone to and that tic
killed. him. As a matter of fact, that
little Chuck had gone into the
house that belonged to Bowser the
Hound. Yes, sir, it was in Bowser's
little house that Little Miss Curl
osity had disappeared.
If Ghe doesn't come out of there
before Bowser returns" thought
Sammy. something is going to hap
pen. I wonder where Bowser is,
am going to stay right here until
that little Chuck comes out or Bow
ser comes home. I feel sort of sorry
for that little Chuck II she doesn't
come out before Bowser gets here.
Hello. there he is coming across the
Green Meadows now and he looks
Just as he always looks when he has
been chasing some one and hasn't
caught him. He won't have tAe best
temper that ever was. that's sure"
Meanwhile Little Miss Curiosity
had curled up in the straw in a far
corner Of the little house that be-
longed to Bowser the Hound This
Is the incest place I've found for
long time" said she to herself
sleepily. I'm Just going to live
here. It's comfortable and warm and
like it. do so''
Two minutes later Little Miss
Curiosity was fast asleep.
Meanwhile Bowser the Hound
was slowly trotting home, his head
hanging, and his tail hung low. He
was disappointed dog, was Bowser
the Hound. Once more that Coyote
had been too smart for him. You
know it is very upsetting to have
other people too smart for you.
TIL get him one of these days"
muttered Bowser. Yes, sir, I'll get
him one of these days. Ny. but il
Is hot work running this time of
year. like cold weather to hunt in.
Yes sir. like cold weather to hunt
IN. I'm hot and I'm tired" Rowser
might have added that he was out
OF sorts-very much out of sorts.
Now there is no reason why
Bowser should have a feeling of
shame when he comes home from a
fruitless chase with Reddy Fox or
Old Man Coyote. But he always
does feel that it is all his fault that
he didn't catch the one he was chas-
ing. SO, now, when he entered
Farmer Browns dooryard, he came
In In sneaking kind of way. He
sneaked over to his little house, as
II he were ashamed to be seen
Mother Brown had gone back into
the kitchen and there was nobody
around, for Farmer Browns Bow
had not yet returned from the
Green Meadows. With a long sigh
Bowser flung himself down at the
little door of his little house, put
his head down between his paws
and closed his eyes.

watched. Sammy was disappointed.

wanted to see the excitement. Now
there was nothing to do but wait
until Bowser should go In. |
