Jimmy Skunk kept away from
Farmer Brown's henhmiae, and Mis.
Jimmy, whose new home was under
that very henhouse, was wise enough
not to leave It until after dark and
to be hic k In It before daylight. So
the fait that she was living there
was not known in Fafmer Brown s
house for some time. Then one day
Farmer Brown happened, just hap
pened, to go around hack of the hen
house anil at. once he saw- the sand in
front of the entrance to Mrs. Skunk's"
home.
"Hello:” he exclaimed. "That look.-,
to me like a freshly 'tug hole, and it
looks, too. an if someone Is usiug it
right along. It Is too big, for a rat
and hardly big enatigh for a chuck.
Ha! there is a footprint! A skunk's
as surely as I live! And there is a
black hair. A skunk is living under
that henhouse and that won't do at
all! No, sir; that won't do at all.
That is living too close to the chick
ens for thWr good. We’ll have to
get rid of that scamp.”
So when he went back to the house
he told what he had discovered. "Bow
do you propose to get rid of l hat
skunk? ’ asked Farmre Brown's Boy.
"I'm going to leave that* to you,
son.'' replied Farmer Brown. '*1 sug
gest that you set a box trap and
carry that Wood Pussy a long way
off before you let it go. I suppose
It IS useless to suggest that you Mil
It."
Farmer Brown's Hoy smiled,
“Quite useless,'' said he. And h*
knew that, despite the things his
father sometimes said, he fell the
same way. "Hut why not leave that
skunk alone so long as It behave*
and doesn't get In mischief?"
"All right. Stilt yourself. Those
are your chickens out there, and If
you want to feed skunks with them
ihat Is your business. If they were

replied Fafrner Brown.
"I haven't missed a chiakpn so far,

barn got,” said Farmer Brown's Bov.
' There is no way Into the henyard

"Perhaps not, now, but It will tie
is easy for that skunk to dig out
from under the henhouse into the
yard as it was to dig under the hen
house In the first plsee " replied
Farmer Brown. "Better get that bis
pox trap ready, son, and eel it.
Farmer Brown's boy went out and
looked at the hole under the hen
house,'and while he stood there look

Farmer Brown's boy end he looked ,
tunc nnd hard at her. Then she came

He didn't move at all. lie stood
quite still. Mrs. Skunk stamped with
her front feet Farmer Brown's hoy
merely smiled. She stamped again
Still Farmer Browns boy didn't
move. Mrs. Skunk calmly turned
her hack and disaptieared in her hole
under the henhouse.
"I belirxe, old lady, that you are
Mrs. Jimmy, and that we are koine
to be friends," said Farmer Brown's
boy with a chuckle. "I don't believe
you'll touch those chickens. I'm cure
you won't if 1 bring you some tsble

what 1 am coins to do. It will he

But this of course, Mrs. Jimmy
didn't tell him.
