Good nature in both work and play Goes very far to smooth the Way. —Striped Chipmunk. Flip had become so interested in what Striped Chipmunk was telling him that without really knowing that he was do- ing it he had kept moving a little nearer to St Chipmunk. But if Flip didn’t khow it, Striped Chipmunk did. “That will do,” said he abruptly. Flip stared at him. “What do you mean?” he asked. “You've come quite near enough,” re- plied Striped Chipmunk. “Of course, it WITH THIS, STRIPED CHIPMUNK SCAMPERED AWAY. isn’t nice not to trust people, but you have chased me too .often for me to trust you any nearer.” Flip hastily backed away. “Excuse. me,” ‘said he. “I big your pardon. I really do. I didn't mean to come nearer. You see, I was 5o inter- ested in what you were telling me that I didn’t know what I was doing. Won't you- please tell me what you do with all those seeds and things that you bring in' your pockets?” It %flppened that Striped Chipmunk ‘was feeling good-natured. Seeds and nuts had been plentiful. His storerooms ‘were already well filled. He had worked sodhard that he didn't mind stopping to fest a bit now. So he was quite will- what I bring is all food. It wouldn't be food for you, perhaps, but it is food for me.” Flip nodded. “Yes,” said he, “I know that much. But what under the sun do you do with S0 much of it?” “Put it in my storerooms, of course,” | replied Striped Chipmunk. “I store it away where it will keep all Winter. I mean by that all I don't eat during the Winter will keep. I have the nicest, dryest storerooms. Nothing ever will spoil in those.” “Where are they?" asked Flip. “Don’t you wish you knew?” retorted Striped Chipmunk rather pertly. “Now, of course, Flip understood that a storehouse was like a buried bone — a secret that no one had the right to ask about. So he hastened to explain his question. “I didn’t mean,” said he, “that I want to know just where your storerooms are. What I want to know is what kind of a place they are in.” “On, is that all?” replied Striped Chipmunk. “I don't mind telling you that. They are little rooms that I reach by little branched tunnels that lead from my main tunnel. They are right down near my bedroom, so as to be handy.” “But how did you happen to find little rooms so handy as that?” per- sisted Flip, Striped Chipmunk looked very hard at Flip to see if Flip was in earnest. “S-a-y,” he drawled, “you don't know much, do you?” “Not much about rooms under- ground,” replied Flip. “How should I know about them except by asking questions?” “That's so0,” replied Striped Chip- munk. “Well, if you want to know, I dug the bedroom that I expect to sleep in this Winter. I dug_the storerooms near it for my food. I dug the main tunnels, the entrance to which I am sitting beside. And I dug the little tun- nels that lead to the storerooms. In fact, everything that I've got down there I've made myself. Making those rooms myself, I know just what they are. They're down where no dampness will reach them and where my food will keep perfectly. It is one of the best planned houses I have ever had. I am sorry I cannot show it to you, because Ishould like you to see what a good home is. Now I must go to get another load of seeds. I haven't quite enough of one particular kind of seeds.” ‘With this Striped Chipmunk scamp- angwer Flip's questions. ‘course,” said he, “you know that Across.
