28 R THE EVENING. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1929, l Among the Folks in History.—By Gaar Williams | OF A BEEFSTEAR W% A CALL ® SUPPER , BEDTIME STORIES Flip and Jimmy Meet Again. s knowledge he has truly - earned 0 through experience has learned. —Old Mother Nature. For a while after his experience with Jimmy Skunk, when Jimmy had taught him very great respect, Flip was a very subdued !Qltle dog. He was not nearly as inquisilive as he had been. When he had first_been allowed back to the house he had worn a somewhat shamed look. Bowser the Hound would look at him and grin slyly, and Flip knew just ‘what that grin meant. But Flip had nothing to say.’ He remembered that Bowser had warned him to keep away from Jimmy Skunk, and had he heeded Bowser's warning, nothing like this ‘would have happened. Always as_he went about Flip had an eye open for Jimmy Skunk. He had a feeling that sooner or later he and Jimmy would meet again. “I want to see him first,” Flip would say to him- self. “Yes, sir, I want to see him first. It would be dreadful to run into him suddenly. He might not understand g;nl I have no intention of hurting o But the days passed with no sign of Jimmy Skunk, and gradually Flip ceased to watch for him. A little dog's memory is not too long and when you happen to be a little dog in a new and strange place there are so many things to see and so many things to learn that un- pleasant memories are soon crowded out. ¥t was just so with Flip. He had become his old lively self, interested in in everything. And then one day as he raced around a corner of the barn he came face to face with Jimmy Skunk. In fact, he almost bumped into him. It was as much of a surprise to Jimmy as it was to Flip, Flip put.the brakes on in a hurry. That is to say, he did his best to stop. Jimmy Skunk never hurries. It syisasmee BY THORNTON W. BURGESS is never mnecessary for him to put, the brakes on. But he did stop.: And then that big tail of his began to lift. Flip's eyes looked as if they would Jjump out of his head. He turned like a flash. If his stub of a tail had oniy been a long tail it ‘would have been between his legs. His eyes were rolled back as he shot away and around the corner of that barn again. He was a picture of fright. Now it happened that Bowser the Hound was sedately following Flip, al- though Flip didn’t know it. So when Flip whirled around the corner of the barn he ran right into Bowser. In fact, he hit Bowser 50 hard that he knocked him over. Bowser really didn't know what it was all about. He snarled. Flip, too scared to know who it was he had run into, ki-yled in sheer fright, scram- bled to his feet and headed for Farmer Brown’s house. Bowser got to his feet. “Well,” said he, “I wonder what has happened to Flip. He acts as if he had lost his wits from fright.” Just then Bowser saw a head appeat around the corner of the barn. Then Bowser grinned. That head was the head of Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy looked merely mildly interested. Bowser took a few steps to one side. “Good morn- ing. Jimmy,” sald he respectfully. “What have you been doing to my friend Flip?” “Who is Flip?” inquired Jimmy. “That little black and white dog you must have met a moment ago,” replied Bowser. Jimmy grinned. “I didn’t do any- thing,” said he. “I didn't have time. g;xt I wouldn’t have anyway, unless he d been as impudent as he was the first time I met him.” “He'll never be impudent to you again,” grinned Bowser. “He’s learned his lesson.” < The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright, 1929.)
