Copyright. 1916. by the Mcclure
Mr.. Fox was more than usually hun
CRY one night, and when the daylight
began to dawn, he was still very hun
CRY, because he. had not been success
full in getting into the house where
the hens and chickens slept.
So Mr.. Fox hid himself behind a
stone wall, and when at break of day
the rooster croWed and hens began to
walk abroad, Mr.. Fox poked his nose
around the end of the wall and shifted.
Black Hen was young, and Black
Hen was also very plump and good to
look at, and Mr.. Fox selected her at
once as the party he would like to
have to go home with him for break
fast. Black Hen was inquisitiye, too,
and never having seen Mr.. Fox or any
of his family, she walked with quick
steps toward the place where she had
seen something move. and that some
thing was Mr.. Fox's nose.
When Black Hen turned the corner
at the end of the stone wall, she had
time to give one loud squeak and then
Mr. Fox trotted off with her, held firm
ly in his mouth.
But that cry had warned all the
barnyard. and all the hens and chick
ems and the roosters and the doog, too,
ran out into the road in time to see
what had happened.
Now, while Black Hen was young
she was wise creature and she knew
we'll that the dog Rover would follow
Mr.. Fox, but what she feared was that
he would reach his den before Rover

of her.
She opened her eyes and she could
see by twisting her neck q little that
Mr.. Fox had beautiful tail but as she
had never seen MIR. Fox before, as
told you, she did not know that he
meant her no good by the grip he had
| upon her poor little neck.
What handsome creature you are
to be sure" said Black Hen, and what
a handsome tail you have! Il am most
fortunate to be your choice of all the
hens to be carried off. | cannot tell
you how proud | am to be your
choice"
Mr. Fox did not answer, Of course
because his mouth was busy, so Black
Hen said again: How I wish | could
get d DStleI IOOh DIT your TALL II Is d.
thick as a brush and far more hand
; some"
Mr.. Fox began to feel quite pleased
that Black Hen should think he was
handsome, but still he made no reply
for the dog was still barking and fol
| lowing him.
Il wish that dog would stop barking
and following u.s." said Black Hen. {"
| wonder if he thinks | am not ole
| enough to know my own mind; do tel
him we wish he would go back and no
bother us any more"
Mr.. Fox thought that was a gooC
way to be rid of Rover, so he said
You tell him, my dear, he will be
lieve you"
Before Mr.. Fox was done speaking
Black Hen flew to a branch of a tree
just beyond the reach of Mr.. Fox, ant
then he knew what she had been try
ing to do all the time; she had wanted
to make him speak, and, of course, h.

her. Tears Of loneliness and dis

girl as she reached the avenue beyond
which lay their destination Il can't
stand this kind of thing! It isn't fair!"
she whispered over and over to her
self. She collided with some one on
the curb, but was too deeply immersed
in her own unhappy thoughts to pause
to apologize.
She was halfway across the avenue
when the sudden bleat of an auto
mobile horn and shrill scream be
hind her made her gasp with terror
She turned so quickly that the speed

driver shouted an oath at her-but she
did not heed it.
For on the curb she had just left

When Warren lauded his sister, Hell

Carrie and little Bobbie arrived Law
