Sammy Jay.
Farmer Browns Boy had taken out
plate of food and set it in front of
the little house of Bowser the Hound
(, wagged his tail, but hadn't offered
to get up and come out Farmer
+, Browns Boy reached in and patted
him on the head. You certainly
must be tired, old fellow" said he.
Chasing a Coyote on a hot day is
tiresome work. Don't be SO foolish
again"
Then Farmer Browns Boy went
off into the house. Bowser sniffled
at his dinner rather longingly, but
didn't offer to get up. By and by,
after what seemed to Bowser a very
long time. Little Miss Curiosity
the little Chuck who had gone to
! sleep in his bed-awoke. Once more
they touched noses and perfect
/ understanding was established. Then
Bowser yawned, stretched, yawned
again and came out for that dinner
of his. Little Miss Curiosity also came
out. She was hungry and she was
interested in that plate of food.
There wasn't much there that she
1 liked. or course she didn't care for
, meat and bones. But there was some
. bread and that suited her. so she
! helped herself to a piece of bread
and sat up with 1t in her paws in
much ha hot

was just then that Sammy Jay ar
rived back in the maple tree and
Farmer Browns Boy looked out the
kitchen window.
Farmer Browns Boy rubbed his
eyes and Sammy Jay would have
done the same thing if he could
have. There was Bowser the Hound
eating his dinner from a dish and,
sitting right beside him, was that
young Chuck, also eating her din
ner of bread.
Mother" called Farmer Browns
Boy come here and tell me If 1 see
what think ! see
Mother Brown came to the window
and looked out. Then she did the
very thing that Farmer Browns
Boy had done. Yes, sir, she rubbed
her eyes! Farmer Browns Boy
laughed.
That settles it." said he. Now I
know l see what I think l see, and
you see the same thing. There is our
lost little Chuck and she and Bowser
are friends. Give me u cookie"
Mother Brown gave him a cookie
and then She followed him as he
went out to where Bowscr and the
little Chuck We're, Bowser looked up
and wagged his tail, Little Miss Cur.
iosity remained where she was
, Farmer Browns Boy handed her the
cookie. At once she dropped the
piece OF bread, for who would eat
bread when a cookie could be had?
II wonder if she'll let me pick
her up" said Farmer Browns Boy
"I'll catch her and take back ito the
house"
Mother Brown shook her head.
Don't do it." said she, Lets see
what will happen, now that she and
Bowscr are friends. ! have an idea
that they are going to be very good
friends. It is worth waiting for and

So nothing was done. and the two
were left to enjoy their dinner in
peace. AS for Sammy Jay, sitting up
there in the maple tree. he wasn't
quite sure whether or not he was in
his right senses. For once in his
life he was speechless. All he could
do vas 10 sit there and stare and

Little Miss Curiosity walked over
and smelled of that bone. She didn't
care for it, but she wanted to know
what it was. This was too much for
Sammy Jay. He almost fell off his
