was no house at all, but instead. a
hole under a big cliff. To be sure
it was not so fine a home as the
ones they had left, but neverthe-
less 1t was home to Reddy and his
wife, Grey, and they loved it very
much. Reddy had married his
cousin and together they had gone
out, away from our kinfolks where
no one will bother us and cause us

lected the big cliff for their home.
For neighbors they had all kinds
of animals smaller than themselves.
but being wise to the ways of
fox, they made 1t a rule to avoid
meeting Reddy and Grey, and in
time the foxes grew very lonely.
The wisest and least friendly of
all their neighbors was Peter Rab-
bit, a wise old rabbit indeed. His
hatred for Reddy was great. AL
though 1t had been months since
this very old fox had killed and
eaten one of his brothers. Peter
had not forgotten it, and had Sc
cretly planned 10 kill him the VERY

place where Molly Cottontail had

young rabbits. At last he had
found food for their supper! With
his long fangs he soon killed them
and carried them home to Gerry to
dress for supper.
Molly Colonial was wild with
grief. With streaming eyes she re-

last he arrived; and when Molly
told him her sad story his hatred
for Reddy grew intense, and to-

CHAPTER
MERLIN MEETS A SURPRISE


The next morning he again start
ed out upon his quest. This time
1t was not with the same sense 81
assurance and certainty that the
day before had filled him with bold.
ness. But it was with a firmer
determination that make his feat
ures almost Stoical as he swung
down the street, block after block
into the heart of the city. After he
reached the business section he
purchased a map and guide of the
city with which he would be able
to locate the newspaper Offices.
This he consulted and found there
were yet five he had not visited.
Moreover he found to his satisfac-
ton that they were all in a row
along one street and less than a
half mile apart. He was on that
street now. Scanning the num-
bers he decided that the large
building on the corner in front of
him must be the Courier. So,
folding the map and placing it in
his pocket he crossed the street and
entered the building.
He was greeted by a young man
of dapper appearance and with
swapping black eyes, who asked
what he could do for him.
II am looking for a position"
said Merlin, "And if you have any
thing open"
oh said the young man quick
ly, you'll have to see Mr. Porter,
the managing editor. You will
find him in there" pointing to a
door.
Merlin again entered the sacred
sanctum and approached the edi-
tors desk. The editor, who SEEM
ed to be absorbed in an article he
was writing, did not turn as Mer-
lin entered. He was broad
shouldered man with wavy iron
gray hair, and had a striking ap-
pearance. Merlin gathered this :
much at the first glance. Also the
fact was again brought before him
that editors were as a rule old men
or men of middle age. Associate
editors were usually well along in
years and young men were usually
assistants.
The editor finally laid aside the
written pages and reached for some
more paper. Merlin at once seiz-
ed the opportunity to make his
plea. Advancing quickly he stepped |
