The instant Farmer Browns Boy
saw that hole beneath the big rock
way back IN the Old Pasture he
knew mat he had found the home
OF Reddy Fox. And when he saw
few feathers clingsng 90 the bushes
close By he knew that Reddy had
some children there Those feath-
ers told him that lie knew that
neither Reddy nor Mrs Reddy would
have brought a, chicken way up here
70 the Old Pasture TO eat. The
very fact that il had been brought
way up there told him that there
were youngsters too small them
selves 10 go hunting
Now. Farmer Browns Boy hadn':
had Reddy Fox for neighhor with
out learning just how smart Reddy
is. He had seen Reddy enter the
Old Pasture with something In his
mouth. II was this that had start
ed him to looking for Reddy's home.
II had taken him quite a while 20
find that home. and although he
hadn't caught so much as a glimpse
OF Reddy's bright coat since he him
self had entered the Old Pasture he
didn't have shadow OF doubt that
Reddy had seen him II might be
that Reddy was inside that house

The Reverend Wilk of Windsor, who

Testimony was produced showing
that many girls employed in the beet
