Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
’Tin curioatty that laada
Where danger lurks, nor caution heeds.
—Old Mother Nature.
Curiosity Proves Too Much for the
Young Chuck.
When Old Mr. Toad left him, the
young Chuck, who had run away
from home, sat in the bushes at the
head of the Bong Bane and did the
tlrst real thinking he had ever done
In all his life. Down in his heart he
knew that the advice of Old Mr.
Toad to go back home was good,
sound advice. But he wouldn't ad
mit it. No, sir. he wouldn't admit it.
“Pooh! Pooh!" said he. "Thai
funny, little, homely fellow probably
has reason to be afraid. If I were
no bigger than he, I would l>e afraid,
of course, there must be some dan
gers, but I guess I am big enough
and smart enough to avoid them.
Kedtail the Hawk will not get an
other chance at me, for I shall keep
my eyes open for him. As for other
enemies, I guess I am smart enough
to keep out of their way."
He peeped out of the bushes to
ward Farmer Brown's barnyard. It
looked most interes'ing up there.
Old Mr. Toad had advised him not
to go any farther in that direction.
He had told him that it w.-is no place
for him up there. But the more he
watched, the more curious he be
came. He saw some big birds walk
ing about, and they didn't seem to be
at all afraid. Of course, they were
the hens of Farmer Brown's Boy, and
so of course were at home. But the
young Chuck didn’t know this. They
were the flfcu hens he ever had seen.
“If it is safe for them, it is safe
for mK" said he to himself. "I can
run over there and have a look
around, and then run back again
There Is no sense in being afraid
when there is nothing to he afraid
of."
Still the young Chuck hesitated.
Then he happened to think that per-'
haps his mother, Polly Chuck, would
come looking for him. He knew that
if she found him he would have to
go back home. Then his curiosity
wouldn't be satisfied. He looked all
around up in the blue, blue sky. No*
where could he see Itedtaii the Hawk*
He looked over 'to where those hens
were contentedly scratching In the
barnyard. Never had he seen a mor*^
peaceful scene. He crept a few feet
beyond the bushes and sat up. There
he sat for some* lime, looking this
way and that way, every way.
"It's silly to be afraid," said he.
“There Isn't a thing to be afraid of.
I’m going over there.”
Once more ho lodked all around.
eM’-yjlaa HCsot
"If it’s safe for them it La safe for
me,” said he to hlm*«tf.
Then he dropped down and started
stra'ght for Farmer Brosvn's barn
yard. He felt the thrill of adventure.
He was going to see things he never
had seen before. He was really out
in the Great World. He felt very
big and very bold. But as he ran,
ho had enough sense to try to keep
out of s ght as much as possible.
Ho kept in the tallest grass. And so
at last ho camo to the edge of
Farmer Brown's barnyard.

My old-time strength left me, my

shoulders and back that nearly floored
me at times. My appetite failed and
I was bilious and constipated.
"Tanlac gave me a top-notch appe

dent, Constipation, rheumatic pains
and all are gone and I feel fit as
