Considerable.

Lord Percy, sis the tonnage which the
United States can supply"

Granny left him. BY and by Mrs.
Brown came out Of the house with q
pan full Of good things. She put 1t
down in front Of Bowser's little house
and called to him. Then she turned
and hurried back, for 1t was very cold.
Bowser came out Of his little house,
yawned and stretched lazily. 1t was
time for Reddy to do his part. Out he
walked and sat down right in front of
Bowser and grinned at him. Bowser
stared for a minute, as If he doubted
his own eyes. Such irnpudence! Bow
ser growled. Then with a yelp he
sprang toward Reddy. Now. the chain
that held him was long, but Reddy had
taken care not to get too near, and, of
course. Bowser couldn't reach him. He
tugged with all his might and yelled
and barked frantically. but Reddy just
sat there and grinned In the most pro-
volking way. 1t was great fun to tease
Bowser this way.

Meanwhile old Granny Fox had stolen
out from around the corner Of the shed
behind Bowser. Getting hold OF the
edge Of the pan with her teeth. she
pulled 1t back with her around the
corner and out of sight. II she made
any noise Bowser didn't hear Il. He
was making too much noise himself
and was too excited. Presently Reddy
heard the sound OF an opening door.

the fuss was about. Like q fash Red

and went back to the house. for It was
cold outside. Bowser continued to
whine and tug At his chain for a few
minutes. Then he gave It up. and.
growing deep in his throat, turned to
eat his dinner. But there wasn't any
