Old Granny Fox had sent Reddy Fox
into the house and told him to stay there
until she returned home Reddy had not
wanted to mind, but he knew that Gran
ny Fox meant just what she said. and
so he had slowly crawled down the long
hall to the bedroom way under ground.
Pretty soon Reddy Fox heard a voice.
It was very faint. for you know Reddy
was in his bedroom way under ground.
but he knew it, He pricked up his ears
and listened. 1t was the voice of Bow
ser the Hound and Reddy knew by the
sound that Bowser was chasing Granny
Fox.
Reddy grinned He wasn't at all wor-
red about Granny Fox. not the least
little bit He knew how smart she is and
that whenever she wanted to she could
get rid of Bowser the Hound. Then a
sudden thought popped into Reddy's head,
and he grew sober.
Granny did feel trouble coming, just
as she said" he thought.
Then Reddy Fox curled himself up and
tried to sleep. He intended to mind and
not .}1t his little black nose outside until
old Granny Fox returned. But somehow
Reddy couldn't get to sleep. His bed
room was small and he was SO stiff and
sore where he had been shot by Farmer
Browns boy that he could not get COM
Portable.
He twisted and turned and fidgeted. The
more he fidgeted the more uncomfortable
he grew. He thought of the warm sun
shine outside and how comfortable he
would be stretched out full length on the
doorstep. 1t would take the soreness out
of his legs. Something must have hap
pened to Granny to keep her so long. II
she had known that she was going to be
gone such a long time she wouldn't have
told him to stay until she came back.
thought Reddy.
BY and by Reddy Fox crept little way
up the long. dark hall. He could just
I see the sunlight on the doorstep. Pretty
soon he went little bit nearer. He
wasn't gong to dsobey old Granny Fox,
oh. MOI No. indeedi She had told him to
stay in the house until she returned. She
hadn't said that he couldn't look out.
Reddy crawled little nearer to the open
door and the sunlight.
Granny Fox is getting old and timid.
Just as II my eyes aren't as sharp as
hers! I'd like to see Farmer Browns
boy get near me when l am really on the
watch" said Reddy Fox to himself. And
then he crept little nearer the open
door.
How bright and warm and pleasant it
did look outside! Reddy just knew that
he would feel ever and ever SO much bet
ter if he could stretch out on the door
step. He could hear Jenny Wren fussfng
and scolding at some one or something,
and he wondered what 1t could be. He
crept just wee bit nearer.
Now he could hear Bowser's voice, but
it was so faint that he had to prick up

The Whistling Nuisance.
To the Editor of The Star:

Whistle, whistle. whistle. Oh. that
whistling nuisance! Please tell me is
there any sense in that or any necessity
for it? Night and day, at all hours, boys
and men alike have taken to whistling.
If you do brain work or want to con-
centrate your mind on some matter, or
are sick or overworked. and want to take
a little nap there is heard that shrill
whisting that startles you and makes
Your heart beat as if it were going to
jump out of you. To rest in the daytime
is simply an impossibility, and at night,
although not SO bad, We are not free from
the nuisance. Why could not those nice
little Boy Scouts act like policemen and
arrest the whistlers and thereby get rid
of the intolerable nuisance? 1 admire
those Boy Scouts very much. They will
make fine, useful men. l feel confident
that if they were empowered by the chief
of police to arrest the whistlerS the
nuisance would soon be abated to the
satisfaction Of all, not excepting the cui-
prits themselves, for I do believe that If
they knew what harmful effects noise has
on the system they would not whistle any
more The streets are not made for a
nuisance, but for INSTRUMENTATION
and that communication should be done
with as little public discomfort as posi-
BILE.
There has just been held in Boston an
International congress of biologists to de-
wise some means for the abolition of loud
and unnecessary noise in cities. 1t Is TO
be hoped that the authorities Will soon
take the matter in hand and help the
scientists in their noble endeavor to bene-
fit humanity r n. olEO<Ani'

In fact, think We smoked six or seven

Perhaps I smoked more than was good

Some one was trying to get into the
house! Some old enemy of the colonies
OF whom 1 had just heard had come to
murder him as he slept! Would the col
onel be equal to the emergency? All, yes!
There could be no doubt about that! He
was such light sleeper!
I tried thus to reassure myself. But
finally concluded to make sure. Stealing
softly to my door. I peered into the hall
