they are getting ready Tor 4 fa!l. That
was lust tie Way with o.d Granny toN.
You see. Granny had liver near Farmer
Browns 50 long aud had been hunted so
much b. Farmer Browns boy and I5oWsor
the Hound that she he'd got the idea into
her head that no matter what she did
they would not be able to catch her, and
at latt she grew careless Now. on
he edge iof the Green Forest was a warm,
sunny knoll, which, ypu know. is a sort
of d little hill Ii overlooked the Green
Meadows and was quite the most pleasant
and cont ortable pla@a icf = nap ~ er
was. Old Granny Fox took sun-napa
there very often. 1t was her tavoritc
resting place When Bow ser the Hound
had found her tracks and had chased her
until she vas tired of running sh. would
play i sharp trick to make Bowser lose
her tracks, and then she would hurry
straight to this sunny knoll to rest and
grin to herself at her own snartness.
Now it happens that she did this one
day in winter when there was fresh snow
on the ground, and, OF course, eNeryW here
she put a foot down she left Il print in
the snow And where she cured up in
the sun she left the print of her body.
They were very plain to see, were those
prints, and Farmer Browns hoy saw
them. Yes, sir. Farmer Browns boy saw
them. He just happened to be passing
. through that part of the Green Forest
late that afternoon and saw Granny's
footprints Just for fun he followed them,
and so came to the sunny knoll. Granny
had left some time before. but right away
Farmer Browns boy saw the print OF her
body where she had taken her nap, and
he knew what 1t meant. He grnned and
Granny would have felt uncomfortable if
she could have seen that grin.
so said he, this is where you rest
old Mrs Fox, after running Bowser al
most off his feet. / think we'll give you
surprise one of these days"
The next day Farmer Browns boy sent
Bowser the Hound to hunt for Old Granny
Fox. and it was not long before Bowser' $
great deep voice told all the world that
he had found her tracks Farmer Brown $
boy grinned just he had the day be-
fore. Then he took his terrible gun and
hid under some pine boughs right near
the sunny knoll. He waited patiently a
long, long time Then out of th,. Green
Forest came Granny Fox, and she was
grinning. for once more she had fooled
Bowser the Hound. and now she could
take nap in peace. Still srinning she
turned around two or three times to make
herself comfortable, and then curled up
to enjoy nap. And just little way
off behind the pine boughs sat Farmer
Browns boy grinning as he patted his
terrible gun At last he had caught Old
Granny Fox mapping.

Old Granny Fox Is Caught
Mapping.

There is a saying among the little peo-
pie of the Green Meadows and it Is some
thing like this:
You must your eyes wide open keep
To catch Old Granny Fox asleep.
OF course. this means that Granny Fox
is so smart and clever and so always on
the watch that you must be very smart
indeed TO fool her or get ahead OF her.
Reddy Fox is smart. but not so smart
as Granny Fox. You see. he hasn't lived
as long. and so there is much that Granny
Fox has learned. but which Reddy Fox
knows little about as yet.
But even the smartest people are caught
