He is so in dependent that it almost never oc curs to him to be afraid of anybody. JIMMY SKUNK HAD BEEN WAN DERING AROUND FARMER BROWNS DOORYARD. This independence is a family trait This is the reason that so many Skunks are killed on the roads by automobiles. The tribe as a whole has not yet learned that there is anybody or anything that has no re spect for the scent gun that it is the birthright of every Skunk to carry. Now. independence Is a splendid thing, one of the most desirable things in all the Great World. However, there if such a thing a.« too much in dependence. There really is. This is the case when the rights of others are disregarded. Tt is the case when it leads to carelessness Too much jnde | pcndence Is likely to lead to trouble : ^ one kind or another. In fact? it is ; almost certain to. Jimmv Skunk had been wandering around Parmer Brown's door.varri, pok ing his nose into this and that, Just out of idle curiosity. It was very quiet. ! for ii was after the midnight hour and no one was astir, not, even Flip the ! Terrier or Black Pussy the Cat. Jimmy was traveling alon* «iose to 'he under sinning of the house. At each cellar' window he stopped to see if by chance me might he alar and .so give him a ; ihance at least to poke his head Into strange places. But the windows were closed and Itmmy continued to amble along. I Tberp was nothing in particular on his mind. Peter Rabbit, in his place, would have been continually stopping to look and listen. He would have been thinking of danger all the time Jimmy didn't think of danger at all. It didn't enter his head. It seldom does. So he ambled along until be name to a cor ner of the house. Now Peter Rabbit would have i stopped at that corner. He would have stopped and with the utmost caution would have peeped around that corner to see if the way was clear. I , He would have looked all around to j make sure that there was no danger of any kind. Jimmy Skunk did noth ing of the kind. He was so independent that he just didn't care who or what might be around the corner. Now. right at the corner of the house a big tile pipe had been set into the j ground, so that the top of it was only a couple of inches above t.he ground. ! In rainy weather the water from the ■aves trough was led ln1o this, and ianlt away through the gravel with vhich the lower part of the hig pipe was filled. At all other times it was Iry. Jimmy knew about that pipe, but onight he forgot about it Because of tiia fearlessness and his Independence ie wasn’t looking out. Tor no really food reason he was In i hurry to get • round that corner. That Is, he was in a hurry for him. Jimmy doesn't know what it. is to hurry as most, other people do. Anyway, he wasn't watching his steps and the first thing he knew he was—where do you think? Why, at. the bottom of that big tile pipe. He had tumbled in head first. Was he hurt? Not a bit. Not a teenv-weeny bit. You see, it, wasn't much of a fall. It didn't bother him at all, until he undertook to get out. Then he was disturbed. He couldn't do it. He couldn't get out. Jimmy is no jumper, so he couldn't possibly jump out. When he stood up on his hind feet there was nothing for him to get, hold of with his hands. The smooth surface of the inside of that tile afforded nothing whatever for him to dig his claws Into. Jimmy tried If all the way around It was Just the same everywhere. He was trapped. Yes, air, that 1a what had happened to him—he waa trapped. And it was all because he had been too Independent to be care ful. ■ Well." thought Jimmy, "there ts nothing I ran do about it, so I may as well take a. nap." Hp curled up comfortably and soon was asleep. That was quite like Jimmy Skunk Yes. sir. that was quite like. Jimmy. He is so independent that, even when he does get. into trouble he doesn't worry about It. *C©p*rfirttt. IfMITt ---— 1 * . - ■ - ■ - - - —.- ...
