for the warehouseman. Already his
step was more buoyant.
The girl looked at Bliss almost re-
proachfully.

no confidence whatever.
There was new ring in his voice.

A little thrill of hope crept into her

GREEN AND HIS NEW

VGIs .
Tommy Fox was in terrible fix. He
was caught fast by the foot in trap;
and if that isn't being fix, should
like to know what is.
All night long he whimpered and
cried. All night long he tugged and
pulled. trying to get free. But the
more he tugged the more the trap hurt
his foot. And the harder he cried.
Mrs. Fox couldn't help Tommy at
all. She stayed with him throughout
the night, and tried to comfort him.
And she only left when morning came
and she smelled men coming across
the fields. Then, with one last sorrow
full look at Tommy, she crept sadly
away.
In few minutes more Farmer
Green and his boy Johnnie reached
Mrs. Fox's door. And they were both
greatly pleased when they saw that
the trap had done its work so we'll.
Its young cub" Farmer Green
said, as soon as he spied Tommy Fox.
May I have him, Father?" Johnnie
asked quickly. I'D like him for a
pet"
Tommy Fox was terribly frightened
when he heard that. You see. he didn't
know what pet" was. He thought
that probably it was something like a
stew, for he had been told that peo-
pie ate things like that; and he could
see himself, in his minds eye, being
cut up and tossed into pot.
"a pet, eh?" said Farmer Green.
"Wcli, suppose SO. He's hardly worth
skinning. You may have him, l guess.
But look out that he doesn't bite you
Johnnie Green was delighted. He
helped his father put Tommy into an
old sack. and taking the trap too, they

they reached Farmer Green's home
Johnnie and his father fitted a stout
collar about Tommy's neck. And they
fastened one end of chain to It; and
the other end they tied to long stake,
which they drove into the ground IN

ME Green set big wooden box close
beside the stake. He tipped the box
over on it's side, and threw some straw
into It. And that was Tommy Fox's
new home.
You might think that it was much
nicer home than he had before. But
Tommy did not like it at ALL All the
people on the farm came and looked
at him, inside the box; and Johnnie
Green never left him for more than
ten minutes all the rest Of that day.
Tommy made up his mind that he
would make house of his own. And

to get used to being pet. He found
that it was not such terrible thing,
after ALL He did miss the fine runs he
used to have; and the hunts; and he
missed his mother too. He could hear
her often, at night, calling to him
from the fields And then Tommy
would answer, and tug at his chain.
But he couldn't get away. And after
while he would go to sleep and
dream pleasant dreams, about catching
crickets in the long grass.
