Just in Time.

place? I think that is what would
do. I would make Reddy work to
catch me. That is what I would do"
Apparently that is what the other
Chuck was doing, for Johnny saw
nothing of him or of Reddy for some
little time. Then Reddy kicked some
sand out and backed out himself, took
a hasty look around and went back in.
1t was just after this that Johnny
saw a black-and-white form moving
on the Green Meadows a long distance
away. Its that noisy nuisance of o
little Dog who comes with Bowser the
Hound sometimes" he muttered. He
meant Flip the Terrier. Il do believe
he is coming this way"
Johnny looked at the place where
the other Chuck and Reddy Fox had
disappeared. He was just IN ting to
see that Chuck pop out again at a
different place, and he knew then
that he had done just what he him.
self would have done. The Chuck
shook the sand from his coat, ran to
the entrance and waited. He had time
to rest a bit before Reddy Fox ap-
peared, digging his way out. Mean
while, Flip the Terrier had been racing
this way and that way. but all the
time drawing nearer. AS Reddy
crawled out and shook himself, Flip
saw him. For half a minute Flip
stood motionless, looking. Then he
started for Reddy as fast as his legs
could take him.
Reddy saw him. He hesitated only
moment. Then he started of at
rapid pace. He didn't want trouble
with that Dog. A fight with him
would be to no purpose. He knew
that Flip wouldn't follow him with
his nose as Bowser the Hound does,
so the thing to do was to get out of
sight as soon as possible. Flip came
tearing along, with eyes only for
Reddy Fox, but as he drew near the
burrow he saw the Chuck that Reddy
had been trying to catch. At the same
time, Reddy reached some bushes and
disappeared. Flip stopped. He looked
uncertainty in the direction where
Reddy had disappeared, then turned
to see the black heels of the Chuck
disappearing down that burrow, which
looked big enough, or almost big
enough. to get into himself. He would
try it, anyway, and forget about that
Fox, whom he couldn't catch and
knew he couldn't catch.
Johnny Chuck, looking on, gave a
sigh of relief. That Chuck was no
friend Of his, but he was Chuck, a
relative, and he had been just about
used up when Flip arrived. The latter
had been just in time.
