FOX, HAWK AND CAT.
Mix-Up Resulted DisastrousIy for Bird
of Prey.

of Prey.
Foxes are not easily domesticated
They are distrustful creatures, and al
ways pine for freedom; but in rare in
stances reynard loses his wildness and
responds, after fashion of his own,
to human kindness. Of such one a
daily paper tells pretty story:
Ned is a tame fox so we'll trained
and OF such good intentions that he
will not touch any Of the poultry on
the place Chickens feed near his box,
and he acts as if he liked their society.
Doubtless they serve to render his
confinement less irksome.
One morning recently large chick
en-hawk swooped down and caught g.
chicken close to the box where the
fox is chained. Ned, hearing the noise,
sprang out and caught the hawk by
the leg. The bird released the chick
en- and settled it's free claw deep into
the fox's nose. Reynard squealed, but
he hung to the hawks leg.
At this moment a cat that had be-
come attached to the fox heard Ned's
cries of pain, and rushing out she
sprang upon the hawk and clawed it's
back. That made the hawk let go the
fox's nose very suddenly to protect
itself from this new foe. 1t tried to
claw the cat, and while thus engaged,
the fox set his teeth into it's head and
shook the life out of it.
Soon after this Ned and the cat were
seen lying down side by side, in great
amity and contentment-Yout Com.

When summer came David and
Harvey built foot bridge across the
