thus tied through Il %buttonhole of the

to one or other of the thumbs. catch
up with the little fingers the upper

THE ARTFUL FOX.
He Proved Wise Enough to Suspect
the Old Lion,

ne PROVED wise Enough TO suspect
the Old Lion.
An old lion was so weak he could no
longer hunt for prey. He therefore lay
in his den and gave out that he was so
Ill he thought he would die. When the
beasts heard Of this they were very
soorry, for they looked on the lion as
their king. One by one they went to
see him. This was just what the lion
wanted, for he could easily kill them
n at a time, and then he grew fat on
his prey.
At last a fox, who thought he knew
what was going Oh. made up his mind
to call on the old king and ask him how
he did.
"-Ah, my dear friend" said the lion,
show good of you to come and see me!
But do not stand so far off. Come near
and speak 4 word of hope to your door
king who has but 4 short time to live"
"-Ah," said the fox, Il fear l must not
stay, as it grieves me to say so, for, to
tell the truth, the footmarks | see all
point toward your den. and think it
strange that none Of them point away
from it,"
