| as if waiting for him.
What hearty supper he ate, to be sure,
and you may know his happiness was
complete when he found that the trunk
OF the tree was hollow, and contained a
neatly made and comfortable looking bed
1t was comfortable, too, for he tried it
and slept as sound as top all night long.
In the morning there was the little ta-
BILE set with rs nice a breakfast as one
might wish.
He ate so much that he thought he'd lie
down again, but on going inside he found
| that his bed had disappeared, while in
! the very spot where it had stood was a
large hole, with steps leading into the
| ground.
AS he stood looking down the long
| flight OF stairs, something pushed him
from behind and ne went bump, bump,
bump, bum pity bump down.
He tried to save himself, but he could
not stop going bump. bump, bump,
bumpity bump for long. long time.
After a GREAT BIG BUMP he stopped
! in very, very dark place.
He felt all around with his nose and his
paws to try to find out what kind OF a
place he had gotten into, and by and by
touched wall. He walked up and down
beside it very carefully for fear he might
fall into another hole.
,, Finally he stopped by what seemed to
be door and tried 20 find the knob, but
could not, so he pushed against it with all
! his might. The door opened and our
little fox fell all in heap on the smooth
floor of a well-lighted room. After pick
ing himself up and rubbing his bruises he
looked around him and saw down the
center of the room two long tables set
with bright gold and silver dishes and
shining glassware, which were filed with
all sorts of good things to eat. and to
drink, too. But strange to say there were
no chairs!
The sight of the food made the little
fox very hungry, and he was about to
help himself at one of the tables when
great bell commenced to ring. At the
sound the large doors at the end of the
hall flew open and vast crowd OF people
entered.
The little fox was scared, so he got un-
der the table and was completely hidden
by the folds of the ia BILE covers

She took him to a fine large yard and
left him, telling him that he must stay
there.
Now this yard was a very pretty place
in which to live, for it was filled with fine
shade trees and sweet flowers, while
through it ran stream of pure cold
water.
at one end was a cozy house, and
when the fox went poking around with
his little nose be found many odd cup
boards along the sides of the rooms built
right into the walls. Strange to relate,
whenever he wished for anything, all he
had 10 90 was to open the right cupboard
and there before him, was the longed-for
article all ready for his use.
soon learned the right doors to open. For
the first two or three days he had a good
time. and did not feel the least bit lonely,
because he had such great fun walking
and running about the large yard, listen
ing to the sweet songs of the birds in
the trees, and opening the differ
ent cupboards in the little house. My.

But one day he felt as if he wanted
something very much, but as he could not
tell exactly what it was, none of the cup
boards could grant his wish. He went out
Of doors and started to walk across the
yard. He went in straight line and
walked for a long time, but did not reach
the end of the yard, nor could he even
see the fence that he knew must be there.
He had never been so far away from his
little house before, and pretty soon it be-
gan to grow dark.
He thought of returning, but something
within his breast told him to go straight
ahead.
Darker and darker it grew. and the little
fox was oh, so hungry! and sleepy too,
and there was no food, and no warm bed
for the poor fellow.
Myl how he wished he were back home
where all he had TO do was to open door
in order to get good supper; but, alas,
that was now far away.
Again the tiny voice within whispered,
go on" and he obeyed. Much to his
Joy he saw a light ahead, which grew
brighter and brighter as he ran toward il.
He found it to be fire burning by the
foot OF tree.
He called aloud, thinking some one
must surely be near by, but received no
answer. Then he walked around to the
other side of the fire. and much to his de-
