Little Stories for Bedtime
GRANNY FOX HAS A TERRIBLE SCARE.

In a flash they were all down out Of the
tree tops and dancing around old Granny
Fox. cooling her of. OF course Granny
worried not to. But the Merry Little
Breezes kept right beside her. and it
was not nearly as hard running now as
1t had been.
Have you seen Farmer Browns boy?'
painted Granny Fox.
'Oh. yes! We saw him just little
while ago over near your house. Granny
Fox. We pulled his hat of just to hear
him scold.' shouted the Merry Little
Breezes. and then they tickled and
laughed as If they had had a good time
with Farmer Browns boy.
But old Granny Fox didn't laugh-oh.
my, no indeed. Her heart went lower
Pretty soon she came out on the top of
the hill, where she could look, and then
1t seemed as If her heart came right up
in her mouth and stopped beating. Her
eyes popped almost out of her head.
There was Farmer Browns boy standing
right in front of the door Of her home.
And while she was watching what should
Reddy Fox do but stick his head out Of
the door.
Old Granny Fox saw the gun of
Farmer Browns boy pointed right at
Reddy and she elapped both hands over
her eyes to shut out the dreadful sight.
Then she waited for the bang Of the gun.
1t didn't come. Then Granny peeped
through her fingers. Farmer Browns
boy was still there. but Reddy Fox had
disappeared inside the house.
Granny Fox sighed in relief. 1t had
been terrible scare-the worst she could
remember.

BY THOaNTON w. BURGESS.

When or Mistah BuzZard refused to
tell old Granny Fox where Farmer
Browns boy was, but did advise her
to get home as quick as she could. Granny
Fox felt her heart sink way down to her
toes, for she felt sure that he had seen
Farmer Browns boy and his gun over
near the house where Reddy Fox was
nursing the wounds he had received few
davs before when he carelessly ran too
near Farmer Browns boy and that dread
full gun.
So old Granny Fox just showed her
teeth at or Mistah Buzzard, and then
she started for home as fast as she
could run, and that, you know. is very
fast, indeed. She was already very tired
and hot from long run to lead Bowser
the Hound away from the Green Meadows.
She had thought to walk home along
shady paths and cool off. but now she
must run faster than ever, for she must
know If Farmer Browns boy should
discover her house.
ITS lucky I told Reddy Fox to go in
side and not come out till l return It's
very lucky I did that" thought Granny
Fox as she ran. Presently she heard
voices singing. They seemed to be In
the tree tops over her head.
Happily we dance and play
All the nve-long sunny day.
Happily we run and race
And win or lose with smiling face!
Granny Fox knew the voices, and she
looked up Just as she expected, she
saw the Merry Little Breezes of Old
Mother West Wind playing among the
leaves. Just then one of them looked
down and saw her.
There's old Granny Fox! Just see how

general representative, Edward Renton,
to come to the Capital and make other

has created much unfavorable comment
will not be presented now or at any other
time at the Poll Theater.

of young couple living on a small
salary. The husband yields to tempta-
ton and steals. When he realizes that
his sin is about to flnd him out he pre-
walls upon his wife to go to his employer
and plead for forgiveness. basing his
hope upon the fact that the employer is
in love with her. The wife goes, and 1t
is her scene with the employer which is
the climax of a compelling play. In the
role Of the wife MISS Jewel should be

be seen as a loyal friend who is the
wife's refuge in time of trouble.
