SAMMY JAY sPoILs THE PLAN
OF REDDY FOX.

Reddy Fox found Sammy Jay in
bad temper. Sammy had missed his
usual breakfast Of corn stolen from
Farmer Browns corn-crib and 1t had
made him cross.
Good morning" said Reddy i'll his
politest manner, and no one can be
more polite than Reddy Fox when he
sets out to he.

Sammy. though to tell the truth he
had felt his heart sink at the mere
mention of Farmer Browns corn-crib.
for you remember it was there that he
had had terrible fright only the
morning before.
'All right. see that you are on
hand at sun-up sharp" replied Reddy
and trotted away grinnins. for he was

| ing such a fuss that I should think
there was a. Fox about" He put his
milk pals down and stepped back in
to the house. In minute he was out
again with his terrible gun in his
hands. FIe went straight to the old
stonewall, where only few minutes
before Rcddy Fox had been hiding,
and it was we'll for Reddy that he had
slipped away the minute Sammy jay
began to scream at Ctatterer. Farm
er Browns boy looked disappointed
when he saw no signs Of Reddy. Then
he went over to the little house of
Bowser. Bowser waeged his tail and
yelped with delight when he saw the
gun, for he dearly loves to hunt. He
ran ahead back to the Old Orchard
and almost at once his great deep
voice told all within hearing that his
| wonderful nose had found the tracks
of Reddy Fox.
Il thought so." said Farmer Browns
boy. Il thought there had been a Fox
here" Then he sighed. for he would
have liked nothing better than to go
hunt for Reddy. But there were the
empty milk pals and Farmer Browns
boy is not the kind who run away for
pleasure when there is work to be
done.
Sammy Jay had flown away as soon
as he saw Farmer Browns boy and
his terrible gun. Chatterer had hidden
in the old stonewall, where he safely
stored away the corn with which his
cheeks had been stuffed. AS soon as
Farmer Browns boy had gone to the
look for Chatterer and his temper
hadn't improved bit. He soon saw
Chatterer running along the old wall
and once more began to scream,
Thief! thief" And now that his
mouth was empty chatterer could re-
ply, and YOU know Chatterer has one
Of tho worst tongues Of all the little
people Of the Green Forest.
Thief YOURSELF" he screamed back.
Thief yourself! You stole my corn"
rs isn't your corn any more than
it's mine:" screamed Sammy. II told
You about it in the first place. Thief!
thief! thief!'
And from that they fell to calling
each other worse things The Old
Orchard never had heard such quar-
rsl-never! It was dreadful! All day
long they kept it up. Twice Farmer
Browns boy came down to see II that
Fox had come back, ana scratched his
head and wondered what All the fuss
was about. At last Sammy Jay had 4
thought.
''I'm going straight over to the
rel where you arc ltvink!' he cried
suddenly. when he finds you YOU
won't steal any more corn or be 20

Sammy promised and they hurried
over to their hiding places. Hardly
had Sammy settled himself in the
evergreen tree when he saw Chatterer
the Red Squirrel jump tn the roof OF
the corn-crib from the limbs of the
tree which overhung it, Almost in a
flash Chatterer had disappeared
