HOW Mr.. FOX GOT HIS DINNER

Mr. Fox had not been able to get
anything to eat for several days.
that is, anything he particularly
liked, and what he particularly
liked was nice. young, fat turkeys.
The farmer over the hill kept
his poultry house door locked fast
and all of Mr. Fox's well laid plans
had failed to unfasten the door or
get near the barnyard in the day
time, for Rover, the farmers dog,
kept his eyes and ears open, and
as soon as Mr.. Fox poked his nose
around the barnyard fence, Rover
dashed after him, calling the farm
er with loud bark.
Mr.. Fox had had some very mar
row escapes and now he set to
work thinking how he could carry
put his plans by clever trick.
One morning, when he was go
ing home, hungry and tired, he
came across a muzzle which some
dog had lost, lying in his path.
Mr.. Fox picked it up, and as he
walked along thought. came to
him which made him smile. The
very thing" he said, putting on the
muzzle and fastening it in place.
Then Mr.. Fox ran all the way
to the farm over the hill, but he
did not go near the barnyard. He
stretched himself out on a rcck
down the road and waited. Pretty
soon along came Mrs. Turkey and
her little ones, and when she saw
Mr.. Fox she started to run. but see
ing he was muZzled she went back,
for Mrs. Turkey was very inquisi-
tive and she knew something UNI
usual must have happened to Mr..
Fox. Mr.. Fox looked very sad, so
Mrs. Turkey asked him what was
the matter.
ooh, | have great sorrow. Mrs.
Turkey" said Mr.. Fox, IAN l ex-

The unknown horsemen

In spite of their successful es-
cape the Sioux found themselves
in a serious plight. The loss of
their weapons and accoutrements
was severe setback and they
agreed that it would be folly to
continue toward tina Pawnee camp
until they had supplied themselves
with a new equipment. White OF
ter's primitive bow was utterly use
less for purposes of defense.
1--WE are as helpless as pap
ooses," Sun Bird declared. bitterly.
1--WE are like an old wolf that
has lost its teeth" laughed White
Otter.
The lads realized that to proper
ly equip themselves would consume
several days. and they feared that
the delay might be fatal. They
had little doubt that the Crows
would make a determined search
for them, and they expected to see
them ride into view at any moment.
1--WE will hide in the foothills
until we are ready to fight" pro-
posed Sun Bird.
There is no other way; we will
do as you say" agreed White Otter.
They turned their ponies toward
the west, and at the end of the
third day they reached the foot
hills. Then for several days they
worked patiently st their task.
Their only tool was the knife which
Whit Otter had brought from the
Crow camp, and they encountered
many difficulties. They made
their bows from ash, which they
found growing on the crest of the
ridge, and their arrows from
smooth, straight branches of the
red willow, which they procured in
a sheltered ravine. Then Sun Bird
discovered a small outcrop of flint
and they Clipped it off and made
it into arrow heads. In the mean
time White Otter had killed a deer,

THE RED ARROW

One morning as they were eros
sing a wide stretch of sage Sun
Bird touched White Offers arm
and pointed to the west. They saw
a heavy dust-cloud, and short
distance ahead of it a small bunch
of antelope in wild fight. A mo-
ment later a horseman appeared.
He discovered the Sioux. and turn
ed to watch them. Then he dis
mounted and began to wave his
robe. 1t was the signal for talk,
and the lads looked at each other
in amaZement.
"That man is either very brave
or very foolish" declared White
Otter
wait; we will see who he is"
replied Sun Bird.
Then he waved his buffalo robe
slowly about his head. The horse
man mounted his pony and began
to approach them. Fearing trap,
the Sioux remained where they
were. When they did not go to
meet him the rider stopped and
again waved his robe Sun Bird
replied to the signal. This time,
however, the horseman did not
move. He waited few moments,
and then he wheeled his pony and
galloped away. After he had dis
appeared over a rise of the plain
the perplexed lads turned to each
other for an explanation.

is a young brave. He is with a
hunting party. They have separat-
ed He took us for his friends. He
saw that we were cautious, and he
became afraid. He does not know
that we are Sioux, but he will tell
this thing to his people. We must
ride away from here. do not be,

which furnished sinews for binding
the flint to the willow shafts and
with buckskin for bowstrings.
They knew that to make the ar
rows fly true, however, they must
have feathers, and another, day pas

discouraging; the arrows few I'M
certainly and plunged to the ground
before they had gone half their
course. The lads knew that they
had made them too heavy at the
point, and they unbound the flint
and Clipped it to smaller size.
Then they readjusted the feathers
and tried again This time they
drove every arrow into the mark,
Well satisfied with their new wea-
pons, the Sioux left the foot hills
and resumed their journey toward
the distant Pawnee camp.
At the end of the first day they
surprised a small band of buffaloes
drinking in a narrow ravine, and
they killed two COWS. Their coats
were soft and silky, and the lads
were much pleased with their sue
cess. They camped at the stream
several days, -scraping and washing
the pelts, which they made into
robes.
The Great Mystery has returned
what the Crows took from us"
White Otter declared, reverently.
ut is good. He has heard our
prayers; we will be successful, .
replied Sun Bird.
Having seen nothing of eth
Crows, the lads believed that at
last they had abandoned the pur-
suit. They determined to take no
chances, however, and each night
one watched while the other slept.
They rode steadily toward the
south, and as they found an abund-
ance of game for themselves and
plenty of grass and water for their
ponies, they were in high spirits.

Zeppelins Raid
COnsul's Home

Ada and Joe are two little Amer
lean children whose father is the
American consul to England SO
they are living over there now.
And the other night guess what
happened.
Suddenly their father and mo-
Their ran into the room where they
were sleeping and hurriedly rushed
them into their clothes to take
them down into the cellar. Be
cause the windows were rafting
and there was the biggest COM
motion out doors, and there were
the German Zeppelins making a
raid over the city and dropping
bombs down in the street.
Almost at once there about a
thousand search lights throwing
their lights up on it from the city.
So when the Zepellins found that
they had been discovered they
dropped a bomb that exploded and
made thick cloud of smoke right
below them And before the Eng
lish could see them again they had
gone away.
The next morning they found
that the Germans had dropped
about twenty bombs in house at
the end of their square; but it was
empty SO nobody was hurt
Everything in London is kept
as black as it can be. At night
they don't even allow the people
to leave their shades up. for fear
the light shining out on the street
would give any German Zeppelin
an idea where the city was. So
when anybody goes out on the
street at night they have to feel
their way along because it is so
pitch black, and even the baby
carriages have little lights on the
front part of them painted black,

"Then believe it is So" declared
White Otter. 1--WE will wait until
we are sure"
The actions of TIE distant ponies
strengthened Sun Birds suspicious.
After watching them some time
they became convinced that the
mails were being skillfully man
oeuvered by unseen riders. The
ponies remained broadside to them,
and they believed that each horse
concealed warrior. 1t was an old
trick which the lads themselves
had often practiced when hunting
BY crouching and walking close
to the pony's shoulder it was easy
to escape detection. AS the band
Of horses made no attempt to APP
proach, the Sioux fingered. They
were curious to learn what the
horsemen intended to do. They be-
lieved that they were attempting to
decoy them within bow-range. Then
one of the ponies suddenly wheeled
and exposed the man behind it,
The lads laughed heartily at his
awkward attempts to hide himself.
A few moments afterward the po-
MES disappeared, and 1t was evil
dent that the strategists realized
that their ruse had been dis
covered.

must ride away; they will circle
around us"

however. just before dark. when
they saw a bunch of animals sill

They were far away, but the lads
finally identified them as antelope.
Then they found water. and made
camp.

The Sioux rode away at fast
pace. They glanced uneasily over
their shoulders. expecting to see a
war party following on their trail.
The ponies seemed to be about
equally matched in speed, and Sun
Bird found the little roam worthy
substitute for the buckskin AS
they saw nothing to indicate that
they were being pursued. the lads
reined the animals to walk.
Shortly after midday they came to
a water-hole and they stopped to
broil some buffalo meat AS they
ate they discussed the actions of
the lone horseman. They were still
perplexed. Sun Birds solution
seemed to be the only plausible one.
and yet the whole affair was mys-
terry Although they spent some
rehearsing it, they were unable to
reach a definite conclusion.
They were preparing to resume
their journey when White Otter
discovered a group of animals far
away on the plain. He showed
them to Sun Bird, and they studied
them closely. For some moments
they were unable to identify them.
"Antelopes are not so big when
they are far away" White Otter
said, obviously.
,"Buffaloes do not hold their heads
so high" declared Sun Bird.
"They are ponies" cried White
Otter.
"Your eyes are good; it is quite
so,' agreed Sun Bird.
my grandfather has told me OF
wild horses which live on the plain
near the Pawnee country"
!. 81, too. have heard of those ami
mails" said Sun Bird. But these
ponies carry riders"
"Your eyes are better than mine

"My eyes do not tell me this,

Bird.

Into the woods he went and out of

until shutdown for him to return:
