Rowdy Runs Away. (
' Nowdy Red-Squirrel ' jumped
ironi one tree into another until lie
readied the li-rch tree in which Ja
ncr Jay had caught sight of Sandy
Chipmunk.
Now, Sandy had not seen
Rowdy stealing upon him. And the
lirt he knew about the fight was
when he happened to turn around.
Then he saw Kowdy Ked-Squirrcl
right in front of him. And before
Sandy could move. Rowdy had
jumped straight at him.
Now, as you know, Sandy Chip
munk was not the nio.ct nimble of
climbers. He was a ground-squir-i
el: and though he often climbed
'into the lower branches of trees,
he ahvavs felt more comfortable on
It was Rowdy's turn to be
' startled
the top of a rJl-ftnce or a .none
wall. , , ' -
But Rowdy Red-Squirrel could
dinar to the smallest branch. The
more it swayed beneath his weight
the better he liked it.' His hardest
battles had been 'foughj in the tree
lops. Yeu see, he was never the
least bit afraid of falling.
Sandy Chipmunk was plucky as
you know. And at first he had no
thought of running away, when
Rowdy ( Red-Squirrel jumped at
hiirt. Even when Rowdy sank his
iharp lecth into one of his ears,
Sandy fought his hardest. But
when Rowdy pulled on his ear,
Sandy's feet almost slipped off the
linib. ' f
Then Sandy tried to get away.
And at last he tore his ear out of
Rowdy Red-Squirrel's mouth and
scurried quickly, to the ground.
Rowdy Red-Sqquirtel, dashing
after him, shouted whh glee.
"He's running away from . me!
I've whipped him!" he called to Jas
per Jay, whn had. come nearer, to
see the fighr. i
Sandy Chipmunk had reached the
stone wall between the wnods and
the pasture. And he wos still run
ning. .But the moment Rowdy Red
Squirrel sprang upon the wall, to
his great surprise Sandy whisked
around and jumped straight atlhim.
It was Rowdy's turn to be
startled. And when Sandy gave his
nose a cruel bite Rowdy turned tail
and darted off as fast as he
could go.
After him dashed Sandy Chip
munk. No longer was he afraid

of falling. He was quite at home
on the stone wall. He knew every
stone in it, and every nook and
cranny. He knew exactly the best
way to run along that old wall. So
all he had to think about now was
catching Rowdy Red-Squirrel.
But Rowdy escaped after he had
run a long way he jumped into a
tree and climbed to the very top'
of it, where Sandy Chipmunk did
not dare to follow him.
"Come down here, if you want to
fight," Sandy called to him.
"You can't fool me," Rowdy an
swered. "The other six of you are
hiding behind the wall. And the
moment I came down you'd all
jump at me again. 'I said I could
whipVx chipmunks. But seven are
one too many."
Sandy Chipmunk didn't know
what Rowdy was talking about.
And he could not understand what
made Jasper Jay laugh so loudly.
"You played a trick on me!";
Rowdy told Jasper Jay. "You had
six chipmunks hidden .behind that
wall. And as soon as I came down
where they were, they all sprang
at me. With SaAdy Chiwnunk, there
were seven ot them. 'Ana mats
one too marry."
"Ha! ha!" laughed Jasper Jay.
"Yes! There's one too many for
you. Sandy Chipmunk is one too
many for you!" And he flevy away
to ttll the joke to every one.
You see, Rowdy had been so
frightened when Sandy turned and
bit his nose that he actually thought
there must be at least seven chip
munks chasing him.
Though he boasted just as much
afterwards, Rowdy Red-Squirrel
never wanted to fight Sandy Chip
munk again.

Haven't you any other reasou for
selling the house tsan just the
money you are receiving for it?" I
asked, putting as dubious a note as
I could into my voice.
I detest duplicity, but because I
could not let Dicky suspect that the
news of Edith Fairfax coming to live
next door to us had completely
changed my attitude toward the sale
of our home, I wanted to draw him
out, hoping to find something upon
which I could predicate the capitu
lation to his wishes which I desired
to give. ,
"Yes, I have," he returned a bit
.shamefacedly, ' "althoitRh I ' suppose
you'll laugh at it, and think I'm the.
original person that could reel a
crumpled roseleaf through seven
mattresses. But that change at
Jamaica in going to New York has

form. And you know that in cold
weather it's no joke standing out
there."
"Yes, I know." I shivered remin
iscently. "But how will you better
3rourself anywhere else? You're not
going: to leave Long Island if you
sell?" ' .
."Not on your golden wedding
day!" Dicky rejoined. "But there
are any , number of places, pretty
ones, too, where y'dj don't need to
change.

"You don't have to. There are
several other places on. Uie middle
line, within three or four miles of
Marvin."
"I never knew 4hat," I said, with
simulated interest. "I thought con
ditions were the same everywhere.
That is an inditcement,-1 will admit,
to have through train service to New
York."
Dicky's Promise.
"Don't you think you'd better
change your mind, sweetheart, and
sign the pay-pers?" Dicky coaxed.
"You sound exactly like the vil
lain in a melodrama," I laughed.
"Well, I'll defy any melodrama to
produce, a lovelt-er her-o-ine than the
one I'm enfolding in me arms," he
returned unbluahingly. '"But hon
est, you won't be obstinate, will
you?" ' "
"Remember, I don't approve," I
said, and it was my turn to be un
blushing now. "But if your heart is
so set upon it I wont stand in your
way except that you must first ob
tain your mother's consent, without
her knowing that I have yielded to
your persuasion. Then have her
come and ask me to reconsider, rnd
I will promptly grant her request."
"Why all this folderol, and trip
around Cape Horn?'.' Dicky frowned.
"Simply because she intensely dis
approves of the sale and made me
promise to be firm in my refusal, and
n'ot-yield to you," I answered, smil
ing. "I see!" Dicky grinned. "You don't
want mother to think you're a door
mat wife. Well, we'll try to keep
from her the deadly secret of your
being the reincarnation of Patient
.Griselda! And about obtaining her
consent, just watch your Uncle Uud-
Key. Before the day's over she'll be
around flaying you by inches because
you have dared oppose my scheme.
