Fox Liked Eila cnmfnrt.

An unusual sight met the gaze Of a
Duarte (Cal.) man when he opened
his house the other morning and found
his swinging seat occupied by q full
grown fox. With the cushion for q
nest the fox was resting comfortably
and evidently enjoyed his quarters,
When his presence became known the
members of the family came trooping
out to see the porch climber. Then
the fox disappeared under the house.
where his nature prompted him to
hide until the spectators left the
porch, when, finding the coast again
clear the fox gracefully jumped on the
porch and into the swinging seat, and,
with an almost human air of comfort
and satisfaction, adjusted the pillow
and settled down to complete the
morning nap. When again interrupted
the fox disappeared and headed for
the mountains. The theory that II
had escaped from . luxurious captiv.
Bty probably accounts for the domestic
tastes of the visitor.
