guess Hisser must have seed spiders In

mighty ashamed of '? f 1 ? \t day,

of chip's tail till the poor little crit?

he'd get stung. Lively as the chip
was, P.izzer was a sight livelier. Once
the chip nearly got him while Riz.zer
was takin* his noonday nip. After that

little feller give up the fight an' went
out Into the cold world to grub fer

was sorry to lose him. but I'd got
mighty fond of Biz.zer, an' I wouldn't
have traded him fer 50 of Rill Ever
