Jerry Muskrat thinks 1t is going
to be long, hard winter" said
Sammy as Johnny Chuck stopped
speaking.
Johnny pricked up his short, round
ears. How do you know that?" he
demanded.
Hes building the walls of his
house thicker than I've ever known
him to before" replied Sammy. IF
anybody knows about the weather
1t is Jerry Muskrat. Then, too, his
cousin, Paddy the Beaver. is cutting
more wood than he did last year.
You know he sinks it in his pond
and eats the bark in winter. That
looks to me as if Paddy thinks the
same as Jerry. He knows he can't
get any more food until the ice has
melted in the spring and he means
to have enough. don't believe he
would work the way he Is doing If he
wasn't pretty sure that it Is neces-
sary."
Johnny Chuck sat up the better to
look at Sammy Jay and make sure
that Sammy meant what he was
saying. What more have you seen
or heard?" he demanded eagerly,
all the time chewing clover leaf.
Nothing much," replied Sammy,
"only I overheard Buster Bear say
that his new fur coat is the thickest
he ever has had and he wished cold
weather would hurry up and come
because he's uncomfortable now.
He's fatter, too, than I've ever seen
him since he came to the Green
Forest to live. This morning I met
Reddy Fox and he was complaining
about the thickness of his new coat.
He said that Billy Mink and Little
Joe Otter have the finest, warmest
coats they ever have had, but are
finding them little uncomfortable
just now. Now do you know what
I think?"
"What?" asked Johnny Chuck
eagerly.
II think" replied Sammy Jay,
trying to look very wise and know
ing that If Old Mother Nature

ITO eat or not to eat, that is the
question:" said Johnny Chuck as he
nibbled daintily at clover leaf.
"You don't look to me as If there
was any question at ALL" declared
Sammy Jay, who happened along
just in time to overhear what
Johnny had said. "How any one
as fat as you can even look at food
is something I can't understand
If you eat much more your skin will
burst. Don't you think OF anything
but our stomach, Johnny Chuck?"
I'm not thinking OF my stomach,
retorted Johnny Chuck Indignantly.
II wouldn't eat another mouthful
If I could be sure that I'm fat
enough"
Fat enough!" exclaimed Sammy
Jay. "Ho, no. no! If you get much
fatter you won't be able to walk
How fat do you want to get?"
Fat enough to be sure OF sleeping
comfortably all winter and having
strength enough left to take care of
myself when Mistress Spring gets
here again." replied Johnny Chuck,
shortly. He didn't like being laughed
at. Il wish I could know whether
the winter is going to be a long one
or short one. If though 1t was
going to be short I would stop eating
this very minute"
Il don't see what the winter has
got to do with your eating" replied
Sammy Jay, scratching his head in
a puzzled way.
"It's got everything to do with it,"
retorted Johnny Chuck. Then he
explained that getting fat was his
way of storing up food and that it
was very necessary that he should
have enough to last him until the
coming of Mistress Spring Sammy
Jay listened with something very
like real interest. He began to un-
derstand why it was that Johnny
Chuck was so anxious to know what
the winter would be.

South could win a club continual

East took this South could continue
to lead trumps, while If East ducked,
as he actually did, South could run
the diamonds and eventually pick up
an extra trick by trumping a club
in dummy. East could still kill one
of dummy's diamonds, but by win
ming three heart tricks, four dia-
