Edward Pursey, Bailys Court

an English newspaper. Mr.. Pursey
was awakened early in the morning
by a most unusual commotion
among his chickens. Suspecting a
visit from Reynard, he speedily lift

witnessed sight which astonished
him. Tearing through the. potatoes
and among the cabbages was a fox,
which was swapping and snarling at

fox's back, and with firm grip with
her forefeet just in front of the fox's
shoulders was making the fur fiy

chicken run, and it was the maternal
instinct that made her 60 for the
