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 r » Wf »oi Fanner Brown's Boy went out and looked at the hole under (lie henhouse. my chickens I should feel a whole lot easier about them if I knew that (hat skunk was a mile or two away,” replied Fafrner Brown. "I haven't missed a chiakpn so far, ■xcepting these the rats, from the barn got,” said Farmer Brown's Bov. ' There is no way Into the henyard where the chickens are. anywaj "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 ing at It Mrs. Skunk poked her head nut and looked hard nnd long at Farmer Brown's boy end he looked , tunc nnd hard at her. Then she came cut. She expected to see Firmer Brown's boy move off In a hurry. 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 “craps now and then. And this is what 1 am coins to do. It will he time enough to set the trap when you get into mischief. 1 wonder where Jimmy Skunk is." But this of course, Mrs. Jimmy didn't tell him. The next ctory: "Mrs. Jimmy Calls on Mis. Brown." (Copyright, 1125.) *> .
