soon realized that if he wanted to save
his life he would have TO get away.
At last Happy Jack lost his hold for
a second With a sudden wrench, Rob-
Der tore himself loose. He wasted no
time then He started for his hole as
fast as his legs could take him. He
was sorry looking sight. His coat was
torn and he was bleeding from many
cuts. He was actually wabbly on hts
legs. But fear gave him strength and
he disappeared in his hole with Happy
Jack right at his heels. Happy Jack
stopped at the entrance. He didn't like
the idea of going down under ground.
So he stopped at the entrance and
contented himself with making dread
full threats. He dared Robber to come
out again.
But Robber had no thought of COM
ing out. The one thing he wanted was
to get where Happy Jack couldn't reach
him. He paid no attention to Happy
Jacks taunts. He was too utterly
whipped and miserable to care. Finally
Happy Jack marched proudly back TO
the fiat stone where Farmer Browns
Boy had left breakfast for the Squirrel
family. Mrs. Squirrel and the four chill
dren came down from the tree In which
they had watched the great fight. How
their tongues flew as they talked 1t all
over! How they praised Happy Jack!
How proud they were of hinni
Every once in while Happy Jack
would jump down and run over to the
hole of Robber the Rat. He would dare
Robber to come out. He would call
him names. But at no time did he get
reply. Then he would 90 back to the
big fiat stone to resume his breakfast.
Meanwhile all the other Orchard
people had talked over the great night,
and had said lot of nice things about
Happy Jack, then had resumed their
home duties. There was no question
but that Happy Jack had won their
respect. Yes, indeed, he had won their
respect. They we're proud of him. Even
Serapper the Kingbird, who Is as you
know utterly fearless, had some very
pleasant things to say about the way
In which Happy Jack had faced Robber
the Rat.
That night when the Black Shadows
had cTept out over the Old Orchard
Robber stole up TO the entrance and
peered out. Then. sure that the way
was clear he came out and crossed
Farmer Browns barnyard to the barn,
where he had been born, and where
he had made his home until he had
ventured over to that hole under the
old wall.
"A Squirrels teeth are sharp" he
kept saying over and over to himself.
"A Squirrels teeth are sharp. I've had
all I want of them"

were on hand to watch that fight be-
tween Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel
and Robber the Rat.
Robber hasn't q friend in the world.
While some of those feathered folk had
often quarreled with Happy Jack Squir-
rel, they were all for hun now. From
every side they shrieked encouragement.
Now, Robber the Rat is no coward.
When he sees that he must fight, he
viii fight sayagely, and this Is what he
was doing now. When he had started
that fight he hadn't the least doubt
but that he would soon send Happy
Jack flying for his life. More than once
he had made cat turn tail. He hadn't
the least fear OF Happy Jack, so his
surprise was the more complete when
he discovered that Happy Jack was too
much for him. It was hard to admit
to himself, but facts are facts, and he

 Remember Girl Shy?" Grand mas Boy?" It's not necessary to mention "The Freshman Safety Last" or "For Heavens Sake,' but here are some we'll wager you don't recollect: "The Eastern Westerner," "A Sailor Made Man" :" Captain Kidd's Kids" and q Do" Your memory might be tickled a bit by asking if you had seen Number, Please" "Hot Water" and Dumping Int 0 Broadway High and Dizzy" came in for it's share of plaudits, as did Now or Never" and "Get Out and Get Under.'

 SHOWING AT PALACE

The most beautiful motion pie ture garden, with it's grass carpets, potted plants and leaden ornamen- tai bushes, is born of sheer neces- sity. In the fine Metropolitan comedy. Almost Lady, starring Marie Provost, at the Palace for the last two times tonight, it was necessary to film several scenes in an unusual and distinctive gar den. To make this possible, Di- rector E. Mason Hopper was oblig- ed to have one made.
 Grass sod was laid in one cor ner of the stage and matched. Then potted plants were lined up to rep resent the hedges, and these were carefully trimmed. Then the lit tie water pools were placed and fountains began to sprinkle.
 Later on, orange trees-also pot ted-blossomed on the set; banana trees cast their shade over marble benches and a number of real fir trees -cut from the Hollywood hills balanced mans handiwork. Small, ornamental trees finished the ex- pertinent in indoor motion picture gardening.
 Not even the most experienced botanist and horticulturist is able to detect the imitation from the real.
 Harrison Ford and George K. Arthur are featured. Barner Gil more, Trixie Friganza and John Milan complete the cast.

 Soon the rooster was listening attentively to a sprightly series of cock-a-doodle-doos floating in from the street. But just as he was about to answer, the make believe growing stopped and did not begin again. Annoyed at the delay, the directcr strode out into the street in time to see two policemen smilingly and gently leading the hired imitator away.
