It was long time after Sammy Jay

of something red moving swiftly. In

Reddy Fox and he was running with
his nose to the ground. He was fol-

they had been on the ground. On his
eyes glistened and his mouth watered.
Presently he came to the place where
they had left the ground. and. Of course
there were no more tracks for his
sharp nose to follow. He ran this way
and that way trying to find where they
had gone. Finally Big Tom could stand

The discussion will be simultaneous
