Down in the dear Old Rrlarpairh Peter Rabbit heard It. Early the next morning he was up at the new home of the Chucks, In tho tipper corner of the Old Orchard, to find out bow Johnny was and to congratulate him on winning the great fight. In fact, he was up there before Johnny Chuck came out. You see, Johnny was so stiff and sore that he dreaded getting out of bed. When he did come out he merely granted good morning* to Peter Rab bit and hurried over to the nearest patch of sweet clover, for Johnny was very bungary. Y'ou know, he had had nothing to eat before the big fight tho day before, and after ward he had been too stiff and sore to get about much. Peter went along with him, and as they ate the talked. Polly Chuck joined them. "We are going to miss you down on the Green Meadows this sum mer,'' said Peter. "What was the matter with year old home down there?" "Nothing," replied Johnny Chuck. "It was a very good home, but w.e thought we would like a change. The Green Meadows are all very well, but^ wc like the Old Orchard better. So we decided to make a new home up here." Polly Chuck's eyes (winkled, but she Bald nothing.She kept right on "We are going to miss you down on the Greeti Meadow this sum mer,” said Peter eating sweet clover and turned her head aside now and then to hide a smile. I "I heard you were going to make your horn* over toward the Big River,” said Peter. "You mustn't believe everything you hear.” replied Johnny. "There j is nothing over there to oomiare with this place here. I always did like the Old Orchard. You'll go a long way, Peter Rabbit, before you'll find such a perfect pla*» for a house »s where we have made our new one.'' Polly Chuck chuckled under het breath, "To hear him.” she said to herself, "you would think that he was the one who had insisted on coming up to the Old Orchard. And to hear him boast ai>out that new house of ours you would think that ho hud picked out the place and helped dig It. when all the time ho didn't have anything to do about It." "In building a new home. Peter, the first thing to think about Is safety." Continued Johnny Chuck "Now Just look at that uew home of ours. Can you think of a safer place? It goes right down under the old stone wall, and no one bigger than our selves can possibly get Into it. Reddy F’ox can't possibly dig It open if he wears his claws out trying. Then see how handy it Is to this sweet clover. Did you ever in your life* taste any sweeter? We haven’t got to go more than a few feet from our own door step to get all we want to eat. And what a place to bring up a family! There are all sorts of hiding places for the youngsters in the old stone wall. We won’t have to worry much about them while they are growing up. We knew what we were doing when we picked out this place. Yes. sir. we knew what we were doing.” “We!" murmured Polly Chuck un tier her breath, and chuckled again "I do believe the dear old fraud lint , really begun to think that ho hSi* * something to do with the making ul this new home."
