Reddy Fox Almost Gets a
Dinner.

You've often heard the saying old about the
famous slip
That neXpectedly occurred between the cup ana
Twas even thus with Reddy Fox when most he
On Meadow Mouse he thought to dine. but hungry
went instead.
When Danny Meadow Mouse darted
right In front Of Reddy Fox to save little
Miss Nanny Meadow Mouse. on whom
Reddy was just about to spring, he did
one of the bravest deeds that any one
could do Reddy was SO surprised that
for just teeny, weeny minute he didn't
know just what to do. and in that teeny.
weeny minute little Miss Nanny ran out
from under the little bunch of grass
where she had been sitting, and where
Reddy had known that she was sitting
and away to a place of safety Then
Reddy sprang- He sprang straight at
bold Danny Meadow Mouse, just as Dan
ny had expected he would, and because
he was so excited and surprised he missed
Danny. which was also as Danny had
expected.
Danny lodged and ran along the little
path that led throug.. the thickest grass,
and then began one of the most exclt-
ing races of all the exciting races Danny
ever
that Reddy couldn't see him, but he
could see the grass move as Danny ran.
and so he kept jumping just ahead OF the
place where the grass was moving. Time
and time again he almost landed on poor,
frightened Danny. Once his toenallS
actually tore Danny's trousers and made
Danny squeal with pain and fright, put
he wriggled free and ran harder than
ever.
Now, Danny had had a great deal OF
experience in his short life End he knew
the WAYS of Reddy Fox quite as well
as Reddy knew his ways. He knew that
il was his wits against Reddys wits
He knew, too that if he just ran Reddy
would soon catch him, for. of course, a
great big fellow like Reddy can run
great deal faster than little bit of a
fellow like Danny. So he knew that If
he would escape he must fool Reddy
Fox So once as Reddy sprang Danny
stopped short. and. of course, Reddy
sprang completely over him. Then Danny
darted back the way he had just come
For a minute Reddy was fooled. Then
he heard the rustic of Dannys scurrying
feet behind him and knew what had
happened. Instantly he whirled about
and was after Danny once more.
Now II Danny had been near his own
home he would have had plenty Of safe
hiding places, but over here at the home
of little Miss Nanny he didn't know
where the hiding places were and he felt
quite helpless. He was getting quite out
of breath and he felt lame and very sore
where Reddys claws had hurt him. But
his courage was good and he was bound
that he wouldn't give up. He had been
in tight places before, and he was sure
that somehow he would get out of his

CHARMS OF MUSIC

Sometimes a poet is born (they are
not made) in an unpromising place.
But then, everybody knows that. There

impractical gift Of the muse has not

parson, the storekeeper and the livery
man have their proper recognition, OF
course: but Middleboro has no use for
poetry.
However, Henry Milton was not q
poet; he was born q musician. And
that was worse. For poetry, unhal-
lowed as 1t is, was known by reputa-
