crept forward inch by inch.

been dug there. There is little about
the Old Pasture that he doesn't know.
He straightway visited all the old dens

had moved to one of them. Not trace
of Johnny did he find. That pleased
Reddy.
Nov If can find him far enough
from hole and not near q tree that
he can climb, I'll have that Chuck

thorough search Of the Old Pasture.
Luck was with him. At least that

course there had been no Chuck din
ners through the winter. So the dis
covery that Johnny Chuck was in
the Old Pasture awakened an appe-
tite that Reddy was sure nothing but
Chuck dinner could satisfy.
THAT fellow has been lucky all his
ife," thought Reddy. "Yes, sir, he
has been lucky. When he was. down
on the Green Meadows and over in
the Old Orchard I wasn't able to
catch him. though I tried times
enough. Mrs Reddy had no better
luck. He isn't so much at home in
the Old Pasture, so perhaps, now
will have better luck. He isn't fat
now, but that doesn't matter. It will

catch him. He'll have to stay up here

Reddy grinned and licked his lips
and went to see if Johnny Chuck had
left the hole in the ground where he
had spent the night safely, there be-
ing stone in the way that prevented
Reddy from digging Johnny out. He
approached that hole carefully. No
one was in sight. Either Johnny was
not yet out or he had gone to look
for q breakfast. Reddy boldly went
up to the hole and at once his nose
told him what he wanted to know.
He grinned with satisfaction. Johnny
was not down in that den. OF course
that meant that he was out some

Johnny stared second or two, then
started to run. Instantly Reddy was
up and after him, and getting a sur
prise. He had had no idea that
Johnny could run so fast. It was be-
cause he now had no fat to carry
about. Even 80, Reddy could outrun
him and knew it. Never had he been
more sure Of anything than he now
was of that dinner. Johnny was run

was no hole there and Reddy knew it.

Beer drinkers by the thousands taste
beer as good as you could drink it right at
the brewery. Sales of Gunther's the only
Especial dry lager" are mounting daily!
Try this Especial dry lager" and
we don't believe you'll ever again be
satisfied with a sweet-type beer!

30 many thousands of beer drinkers are dis
covering the delicious, berry goodness of
Gunther's true "brewery' flavor, that the
Washington Sales of Gunther' sare going ahead
with huge increases every day! Gunther's new
delivery plan, which brings your beer direct
from the brewery to your dealer, is not only
sensational, but it is proving itself to be tre-
mendously important to all lovers of good beer!
Here's why:
First: Light is the enemy of beer. No
matter how we'll it is brewed, beer exposed to
light any length of time, deteriorates rapidly.
Second: Beer ages in the wood. Beer must
be aged to be good. But it doesn't age or i'm
prove in bottle. Time gradually destroys it's
true "brewery flavor once it has left thewood!
Third: Careless handling hurts beer, too
Carelessly stored, out in the open, or in ordi-
nary warehouses, it is subject to the ravages
of temperature, light and early deterioration.
If there is any product more sensitive, in

many ways than milk, it is beer! And we
found that our beer was not always handled
properly in the past.
So you see why Gunther's is now delivering
beer right from the brewery direct to your
dealer in fast trucks daily. 1t costs us more
money. But you get perfect beerin every bottle.
Thenext time you order beer, try Gunther's!
Remember, Gunther's is the only Especial dry
lager" beer that is brewed in this part of
the country.

MAIN STREETS
LATEST HOAX
No Tracks, No Fox, Say Hunters
Tricks VIII Out-SO This
IL It

Hang up "them fouHn' pieces"
boys, the fox feud's over.
Here's the tale Of one of Main
Streets fastest hoaxes, that nearly
boomeranged into the laps of the
perpetrators-or the story Of the
fox that nearly bit back.
A couple of Sundays back, with
the fox hunting craze hitting the
boys fairly, two parties were out in
the prairie searching out the willy
little predator. One party, led by
Gus Otto, had hounds; another
with Verne Soltau had none. OF a
sudden the latter party arrived in
town with a fox draped over the
hood of the car. The party with
hounds had none.
Things so happened that cut near
Westport the two parties met.
Neither had a fox at the time, but
the hounds were on the trail and
ibaying to the four winds up the
line. So across country hit Vern
Soltau and party; the others went
on after the hounds. But of a sud-
den the hounds came back. Now
according to hound runners only
the death of a fox will cause their
leaving the quarry. Suspicious
arose: the other party had snaked
the fox ahead of their hounds.
Unmindful of the fact that the
hounds had returned the Soltau
party had cooked up a scheme.
They would tell them they got the
fox out near Long Lake. So they
did, but insistent was the hound
party that they had gotten their
fox. Hadn't they seen them?
Hadn't they headed for the hounds.
Hadn't the hounds come back?
Why wouldn't they show the boys
the fox?
There is one simple answer
there was no fox. What happened
was the boys decided to pull good
one. Vern suggested they get the
skin of the fox shot previously,
drape it over the car, make few
turns through the town, and the
rest would take care of itself.
All this they planned unknowing
Of the startling evidence piling up
against them. So it was too late to
back down after that. They had
made their story and were stuck
with 1t. tH.t
How about the tracks the boys
couldn't find at the alleged spot
where the fox was supposed to
have been killed? They were neat
ly gathered up and stored in Guy
Scott's ice house.
