THE FOX AND THE ROOSTER,

THE FOX AND THE ROOSTER
Once upon a time a fox was
hanging around a barnyard plan
ming to catch one of the fowls to
take home for his dinner. Presently
he saw a rooster, but Mr.. Rooster
saw him, too, and kept at safe
distance from him. So the fox said
Don't be afraid. Mr.. Rooster,
just want to visit with you in a
friendly way"
"All right, SIR" said the rooster
THAT pleases me; but you can
visit right where you are. Don't
come nearer"
Your suspicious hurt me-" said
the sly old fox However, never
mind, I only wanted to ask you
how many tricks you can do"
Three" said the rooster. How
many can you do YOURSELF"
Il can do there now. and thir
teen"
Can you?" said the rooster:
"and what is the best one OF all?'
Its one my grandfather taught
me. He could shut both his eyes
and give great shout, and &c
can l."
That's nothing Dragged the
rooster; Il can do that" And sc
the rooster crowed as loud as he
could and tapped his wings. but
he only shut one eye, for he wanted
to match the fox.
Very nice" said the fox. "but
you didn't shut both eyes. | didnr
think you could do the trick al
well as my grandfather could"
But ! can" said Mr.. Rooster

pretended, believe, that he could
furnish important information
about the murder, and persuaded
young Westervelt that he would
make record for himself by play
ing into his hands. Everything was
kept secret until the last possible
moment 80 that the surprise might
be as complete as possible. But
when Westervelt saw he was being
hoodwinked he turned against MI
gent and placed him on the stand,
and gave Dave the very opportun'
ity he wanted. You heard his cross
examination, didn't you? Well,
couldn't understand it all, but Kay
says the bottom has been knocked
out of the Placento litigation and
Nugent's clients will never dare
fight the trial. Dave declares he'd
let himself be tried for murder
every day in the week on the same
terms. But l know he only says
that to comfort me-"
Ainslee paused and for some mo-
ments seemed lost In her own
thoughts. Then suddenly she
turned to the girl beside her,
speaking impulsively:
you've no idea, Harmony, what
that man has been to me during all
this time" she burst out. Hes

on his face, and--But | must stop,

shall hear. Harmony Prayer, you
ought to be a very proud and
happy woman"
Ainslee took the girls face IN
her hands as she spoke and looked
steadily into her eyes. But Har-
mony flushed holly and drew back.
II don't think ! know what you
mean," she whispered, as she rose
from her knees. What have l to

then with a happy laugh crushed
her in her arms.

and pick you. l advise you to call

He is mine."
The fox did not want to be
picked, and 1t was hard work run
ming with the big rooster, so he
opened his mouth to shout back to
the hen that the rooster was his,
when he let go his grip on the
ROSTERS neck, who flew up into a
tree, where Mr.. Fox could not
reach him. Then he shut both eyes
and gave great crow
