them. He chuckled again as. he saw
that they paid no attention whatever
to him. This meant that they hadn't
seen him.
If don't have a Chuck dinner
this time my name isn't Reddy Fox"
muttered he.
Finally he reached the burrow. Now
ne no longer cared If they saw him.
He stood looking at them and grim
ming, trying to decide which one he
would lave for dinner. He decided on
the stranger.
THAT fellow is big and strong, but
he is younger" thought he. Being
younger he should be more tender.
Johnny is tough. Anyway, he is old
enough to be. I'll take the other and
leave Johnny for another time"
So Reddy moved forward to watch
for chance to spring on that unsus-
pecting Chuck. At the moment they
were so entangled that II he should
Jump there was no certainty as to
which one he would land on. Pres
emily they broke apart and the in
slant they did so Johnny saw him
and barked a warning The other
Chuck instantly faced Reddy with
lips drawn back, snarling and ready
to fight.
Reddy hesitated. He knew that
before he succeeded in killing that
Chuck he would have a fight that
would be fight. It wasn't going to
be so easy to get that dinner as he
had thought 1t would be. But Reddy
wasn't afraid. Oh, my. no. He is
always ready to fight for q good din
ner If he has to, and that Chuck, even
if he was thin, would make q good
dinner at this time of the year when
it was so difficult to get food. He
was just looking for good chance to
spring.
And then Reddy received surprise,
a most unpleasant surprise. Johnny
Chuck suddenly moved over beside
the other Chuck. He might have run
for the entrance to his burrow. In
stead he moved over beside the one
with whom he had been fighting. He,
too, had his teeth drawn back and
was snarling. Reddy drew back. This
was more than he had bargained for.
He was ready and willing to fight
one Chuck, but two Chucks, both big
ones, was another matter.
He tried to separate them by dane
ing around them. hoping to get in
back Of them, but 1t was of no use.
They turned as he turned and always
the two faced him. You might have
thought that those two Chucks, who
only a few minutes before had been
fighting so furiously. were the closest
of friends. Apparently they had for
gotten all about their quarrel. And
Reddy didn't dare attack the two. He
had stopped their fight. but with no
gain to himself.

and tender bits of leaves or buds.
Sometimes these birds are spoken
of as laughing goose, speckled belly
or gray brant. AS they fly overhead
you can hear the long, changing cackle
of "wah, wah, wah, wah," repeated
rapidly, and having great broadcast
ing powers. AS you see them high in
the sky they seem to be moving with
little effort and very slowly. This is
not the fact, however. The geese
often go to 1000 feet and at this
height appear to be moving slowly.
AS a matter of fact, they are swift
flyers. They form a long file when
flying, but as they come closer to the
earth they gather en- masse, finally
settling gently upon the water.
After landing they break up to go
about the business of seeking food,
most of the time doing a lot Of talk
ing about it. At daybreak they seem
to have a little ceremony of getting
started, and again in the afternoon
when they sally forth for their dinner.
They always take the time to do
stunts and then go ashore.
White -fronted geese are large birds
a1d measure from AZ to 80 inches in
length. The forehead and the region
which borders the base of the bill Is
snowy white. The upper part and
foreneck are grayish brown, slightly
margined with a lighter shade Of
brown. Underneath is pure white.
The edge of the bill is black.
You may have heard that this
beautiful bird Is handsome but dumb.
This is not true, as the bird has
shown itself to be very clever when
approached, and has proven very
capable Of outwitting an enemy.

THIS eminent surname was first
represented In America by Fran
els Daniel Pastorius, noted founder
of Germantown. Pa, the first per-
manent German colony in this
country. He was born in Sommer-
hausen, Franconia, soon after the
close Of the Thirty Years War.
Francis Daniel Pastorius repre-
sented one Of the most distinguished
OF German families. He was one
Of the most intellectual men of his
time, leader In thought and In
action, and was one Of the foremost
in the German emigration to America,
arriving in Philadelphia in August,
1888, several weeks ahead of the main
body Of pioneers.
Soon after their arrival. at the
request of Pastorius, william Penn
granted 5000 acres of land on the
east side of the River Schuylkin for
the settlement of the Crefelders and
other German and Dutch colonists.
It was on that tract of land that
Pastorius laid out the first German
township, and 1t was there that the
settlement of Germantown began.
It has not been definitely deter
mined what the true origin of this
name is. The name can be traced
no further than the form Pastor"
from which it is thought the sur.
name was Latinized Pastorius. It
is interesting to note the application
to the coat Of arms-the pastilring
lamb ON the three hills.

But now the wrenching, tugging, un-

It was she, beyond all doubt, looking
small as a boy, and riding like a
trained Jockey as she shot on her own
fine mustang out of gap between
the hills and headed for them with
the red mare and the black stallion
sweeping along beside her.
Blind men could have known what
her purpose was, and the Indians and
the men Of the valley were far from
blind. The thin, distant sounds of their
yelling blew like small horns into the
ear of Montana.
Here were three horses, to be sure.
But four were needed. Well, as for
the mule of the friar, it could never
have kept pace. And one Of the white
horses Of the team had to be used.
