From this point they watch the passing crowd with intense in-| terest—birds, animals, insects. In| between bites the chippy enjoys ln-‘ specting the delectable food he is| holding in his front feet, and cocks his head to one side every once in a while to inspect his platform. It you have ever watched a chip- munk, you will be convinced there is some connection between his tail and singing. The moment he decides to sing, the perky member begins to Jerk and when the whistling really is under way, the tail goes at a very | lively speed. The size and general appearance of this chipmunk varies little with that of the related species. This fel- low is the largest and he is darker | than his cousins. His tail is about three-quarters of the length of his | head and body. The stripes are very black and| edged with a line of white. Above and below his bright eyes there is also | = line of white and bekind his ears | there is a white patch. It is his| whiskers that add so much to his charm. They are almost as expres- | sive as his tail. | As soon as the Winter days ap- proach, the chipmunk decides he may as well turn in until Spring rolls| around again. Food there is in abundance that he stored during the full days of harvest. and when he again enters the world of activity, he | lish history was Francis Atterbury, S FEATURES.

They listen intently, as if they are puzzled as to where it really is| coming from, and approach as close | to it as they feel it is safe to venture. | There are many enemies the little chippies have to avoid, for they make choice morsels for the numerous large | woodlands.

In all the Green Forest and on all the Green Meadows there is no sunnier disposi- tion than that of Striped Chipmunk, Furthermore, this little fellow with | the striped coat is one of the thriftiest | of ell the little people. He is a busy- body, but not the kind who meddles in other people’s affairs. He is busy about his own affairs. He is a worker, is Striped Chipmunk, for he long ago learned that what is worth having is worth working for. Now Peter Rabbit is exactly the op- posite of Striped Chipmunk. Peter, you know, doesn't work at all, nor is Peter thrifty. Goodness, no! Instead of being thrifty, Peter is thriftless. So you see he and Striped Chipmunk are not at all alike, Peter takes things as he finds them and is satisfled. He never looks ahead. On the other always looking ahead. He even begins laying in a supply of food in the middle of the Summer. Peter Rabbit discovered him one day stuffing the pockets in his cheeks with certain seeds. At first Peter thought that Striped Chipmunk was eating the seeds. It wasn't until he noticed the swelling of Striped Chipmunk’s cheeks that Peter suspected Striped Chip- munk might be filling a storehouse. “What are you going to do with those seeds?” asked Peter. “Eat them,” replied Striped Chip- |Vested there was nothing more for munk. “What else would I do with | them?” “I don’'t know,” confessed Peter, “but if you are going to eat them, why “But you said you were going to eat them,” replied Peter. “I am,” replied Striped Chipmunk. “I am when the time comes. Those seeds are going to taste mighty good late next Fall and in the Winter.” “Do you mean to tell me, Striped Chipmunk, that you have already be- gun to lay up food for next Winter?” | demanded Peter. “Of course,” replied Striped Chip- | munk. | “Why Winter's a long, long way off | yet!” exclaimed Peter. | good of working in the middle of the Summer when you've got all the Fall | to work in?" | the Fall,” replied Striped Chipmunk, “These seeds are ripe and ready now. | By Pall they would be scattered.

He made a find that caused his little black eyes to sparkle. On a big flat stone Farmer Brown's Boy had left a lot of water- melon seeds. You see when the melon was being eaten he had happened to think of Striped Chipmunk and had saved those seeds for him.
