COMING! not —i Why Striped Chipmunk Didn’t + Carry Qut His Plan. [ BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Do the very best you can, Something may upset your plan. —Striped Chipmunk. ‘When Striped Chipmunk went down ‘underground to begin work on the new storehouse he was planning a great storm was coming up, as you already know. But Striped Chipmunk didn't give a thought to that storm, because, being underground, he felt that it didn’t matter what might hap- Den up above. “It can storm all it pleases, for all I care,” said Striped Chipmunk. “In fact, it will be easier to work down here, knowing that I am not missing any of the sunlight I love so much. Let me see, I think I'll start right about here the entrance to the tunnel that will lead to that storehouse. It mustn’t be too far from my bedroom, and this seems to me about the right Place.” He had just begun to dig when the earth shook and even down there THEN STRIPED CHIPMUNK SHOOK | HIMSELF AND DECIDED T HE WOULD PEEP OUTSIDE.

You could hear her to the Bat- tery when Terry came home late.” “We'll know her, all right.

How was he ever to talk to this strange, changeling daughter of Terry, the fight promoter? But when Miss Burns, with the grinning McCarty in tow, appeared at the door of the taxi, she unex- pectedly lifted the anticipated burden from his shoulders. “How de do, Mr. Riordan?’ She ‘touched his hand with her gloved fin- gers and settled with a little whirl into the seat beside him. “It was awfully good of you two old dears to look me up. This is the first night I haven't had a date in @ month! And I want to thank you so much for my violets; I got fined for wearing them in the first act. but it was worth it to see old Sylvester’s face when she made her entrance!
