After a few minutes he de- cided to go over and see what Jimmy ‘was doing. When he turned the corner of the henhouse, Jimmy was not to be seen. Farmer Brown's Boy kept on and turned the next corner. Again Jimmy ‘was not to be seen, very much to the surprise of Farmer Brown's Boy. “Well, well, what do you know about that!” exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy. *“Now, where did that little rascal go? #SO THAT'S IT,” SAID FARMER BROWN'S BOY. “YOU'VE GONE UNDER MY HENHOUSE.” There isn't a thing for him to_ hide behind or hide under. Ha, what's that?” “That” was a utflengfle of ireshly dug sand, close to the henhouse, about half- ‘way along. Farmer Brown's Boy hur- ried over to it. It required but one look to be certain that that hole had been «dug by Jimmy Skunk. “So that's it!” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “You've gone under my henhouse. Now, what have you gone under there for? That's what I want to know.” Then a sudden thought popped into the head of Farmer Brown's Boy. He tried to get rid of it, but it stuck there. Could it be that Jimmy Skunk was the one who had been_ stealing those chickens? If Farmer Brown's had 1. Crown. 7. Wild reckless person. . Artless, native girl. . Satisfied. .

But he didn't notice this, Slow- ly he turned back to the house. “I hate to think it,” he kept saying over and over to himself. “I hate to think it. And yet—well, those chickens keep disappearing and-Jimmy Skunk is living under that henhouse. What else is there to think? But I wouldn't have believed it of Jimmy. I don't want to believe it now. No sir, I don't want to believe it now. And yet—" It certainly did look bad. I don't wonder that Farmer Brown's Boy had become suspicious, do you? It all goes to show how easy it is to be suspicious of people without real cause. If Farm- er Brown's Boy had known all the facts, he wouldn't have been suspicious. No, sir, he wouldn't have been the least bit suspicious. It is knowing a little, and not all, that makes people suspi- MY WORD! 1T's CRY FoR AID! How MUCH, oLD sweer?

Then he blurted it out. “Under the hen- house,” he said. Mother Brown guessed just what Farmer Brown's Boy was thinking. “Do you think he has been under there be- fore?” said she. “I don’t know,” lied Farmer Brown’s Boy. “Probably he has. Prob- ably he has been living under there.” “If that is true, there is no need to wonder any longer where your chickens have gone,” said Mother Brown. . “I THE LATEST THING — A FRENCH TELEPHONE ! 7 ALL THE SWELL PEoRLE THAT FELLER VELL, How WILL guess you have had too much confi- / dence in Jimmy Skunk.” ARE HAVING THAT New T sIcK L OVER ik, 8 J0”Cin, Simy pas becn Sy || Shie Prone = B DESCRENT SRo e wiey vie g ;‘RE"S&TSSOLE Brown's Boy, miserably. “I thought IND .
