Bowser nodded. Then he grinned don't know what you're going to do,” said he, “but I'm going to take a good lz;lap in the sun, I feel lazy this morn- “Nap!” exclaimed Flip scornfully. “Nap! Didn't you sleep well last night?” Bowser nooded. Then he grinned good naturedly. “Run along, little dog, and amuse yourself,” said he. “When “] WONDER_WHO THAT FELLOW 1S DOWN IN THERE,” THOUGHT FLIP. # you are as old as I am, you will ap- preciate a good nap in the sun.” Now Flip didn't feel the least bit sleepy, so he promptly turned his back on Bowser and trotted off’ by himself. He decided he would go down on the Green Meadows and see what he could find there. So he trotted down the Long Lane, through the cornfield and onto the Green Meadows. There he was in doubt just what to do. He poked his nose into a lot of the private little paths of Danny Meadow Mouse, but no- ‘where did he surprise Danny. In fact, he didn’t discover anybody and present- ly he began to feel a bit lonely. He was just about ready to turn and go BY THORNTON, W. BURGESS back to Farmer Brown's dooryard and Join Bowser in a nap, when he came to a hole. This hole had a nice sandy doorstep. Right away Flip begen to in- vestigate. He sniffed at that hole. He smelled some one. It was a strange smell that tickled his nose. It was the scent of some one who mhe had never met. It excited him. Flip * barked. He stood back and looked at that hole and barked. Then he ran up and poked his nose inside and sniffed again. _Once more he drew back and barked. Every minute he was growing more excited. The more he barked the more excited he became. . He can always get himself excited just by barking. Most dogs can. “I wonder who that fellow down in there is,” thought Flip. “That hole is almost big enough for me to get into. I believe I could dig that fellow out if I tried. It's a hot day to dig, but it would be a lot of fun to get hold of that fellow and shake him to death. I believe I'll try it.” So Flip began to dig. How he did make those forepaws go! The sand came out behind him in a stream. Every once in a while he had to stop and lie down to pant, rest and get his breath. Then he would go back at the digging again. Once in & while he would stop and bark, just out of sheer excitement. Now, Bowser the Hound had found that he wasn't as sleepy as he though he was. By and by he heard Flip’s voice way over in the distance. Bowser cocked one ear and listened. Then he cocked both ears. Finally he sat up. “Flip has found something,” said he to himself. - “I wonder what it is, or who it is, this time. He is getting himself 'all worked up. If it were not so far down there I would just see what he is doing.” Bowser turned to lle down again. ‘Then he thought better of it. He look- ed toward the Long Lane. He once more cocked his ears to listen to Flip. Then, at a comfortable trot, he headed for the Long Lane. He would go down and find out what Flip was making such a fuss about. Meanwhile, Flip continued to dig. Flip is nothing if not persistent. He meant to get to the bottom of that hole. Already he was two-thirds out of sight as he dug, and he was so intent on what he was doing that it never once occurred to him to look around. (Copyright, 1929.)
