see II she might find him before danger be-
fell him.
The neighbors joined her. and the crowd
went running off towards the lake. swift
as deer Everywhere about they looked,
under weed and vine-covered fallen trees,
beneath the edges OF overhanging rocks, In
heavy grass and pried-up dead leaves, but
in vain. Naughtie (who had indeed proved
himself to be very naughty could not be
found. hair or hide.
Just as the searching party, led on by old
Singer Fox-who was dressed I'm his Sun
day best-was about to return to their VII
lage, their ears caught the sound OF voices
human voices. Then they heard D gun
crack. All. how they were frightened!
Hide, every fox-young and oldl" cried
out old Singer Fox. And every fox, young
and old, did his bidding. Some crept into
deep holes In the earth which were so hid
den beneath last years dead branches and
leaves as to be invisible to man. Others
crept beneath loose-edged rocks and into
hollow tree trunks. And by the time that
the persons whose voices had been heard
In the distance had drawn near not the
tiniest bit OF fox could be seen anywhere
Where do You suppose that little red fox
went7" asked man coming through the
thicket, gun on his shoulder.
He ran off this way" replied another
man who was following the first speaker.
He also carried gun over his shoulder.
PITY we haven't the dogs" said the first
speaker.
Sure, they'd get a fox within twenty
miles of u.s." laughed the second speaker.

Their power Of scent is so great"
Then the two men passed on through the
wood walking within three feet Of several
foxes hidden there. And after they had
disappeared and their voices could no longer
be heard, poor Mrs. Red Fox crept from
hiding. They spoke Of a red fox running
this way" she said. II fear II is poor
Naughtie being pursued. On that dis
obedient one! He may pay for his wrong
doing with his life. I know not which way
to turn in quest of him."
Indeed, the poor mother fox was at her
wits end, and was 30 anxious that she was
nearly ready to faint. But thought Of her
hayward son kept her up and doing.
1.-THE hunters must have sighted him
down by the lake." suggested old Singer
Fox. coming to Mrs. Red Fox's side to ad-
wise her. He ran. they said, in this direc-
ton. Now It may be that he is In safe
hiding somewhere hereabouts. Maybe we'd
best go right home and wait there for him.
Should he return and find the place de-
serted he might run away again"
Yes. you are right, my friend" ac-
quiesced Mrs. Red FOX, Then the party Of
foxes turned about towards their village
which was a mile distant. But pretty soon
they heard several gun-cracks in the diree-
tion Of their homes, and apprehension again
took hold OF them. What II the hunters
had followed Naughtie TO his very home
and discovered the habitations of the
foxes? That would mean destruction to all.
Some were in favor OF hiding out for the
remainder Of the day. while the others ad-
vised creeping close to their home and re-
connoitering. Mrs. Red Fox declared that
she must go directly home and see II her
unruly son had returned there-and whether
or not he had been injured.

The Fairies, Talk.

BY Helen Koepsel, Aged 10 Years, Endicott.
Neb. Red Side
Little Jack had been very naughty and
his mother had sent him to bed.
He was restless and could not go to sleep
for long time, but finally did So
He was out of bed now wandering
through a large field.
He soon heard talking and went towards
the place whence the sound came.
There, under a large tree, were as
sembled many fairies
One fairy who appeared to be the queen
said, II just don't know what wen do
with little Jack, he is so naughty"
The Blossom Fairy said, 81 think It would
be we'll to change him into fairy and
have have him live among fairies for a
time and then he would be cured"
The queen said, THAT is very good. Are
there any more suggestions"
Just then a most beautiful fairy said,
Il think it would be we'll to show him
where bad boys go las penitentIaries and
the like) and show him the good boys in
school studying and loving one another. -
Just then Jack awoke and found his
mother bending over him, while she said,
DO you think you will be good now" and
his answer was, Yes"
The fairies were so glad, and from tina,
day to this Jack has always been good.

II did not take the foxes long to cover
the distance to their village, and soon Mrs.
Red Fox had crossed the threshold of her
own pretty cottage. And there she found
her son awaiting her. But in what plight!
One paw-a front one-was swollen to three
times its normal size, and he was all but
exhausted beyond the power of speech.
Mrs. Red Fox dismissed her friends, say

But every lesson learned In life Is worth

One fine June morning Mrs Red Fox

dozen words to her little ones during the
meal so preoccupied was she with some
weighty thought. Just as the meal was
over. and the three little ones ready to run
out into the woods to play as was their
custom after breakfast, their mother turned
to them and said:

When the three OF them were out playing
