than you, and they didn't catch me. p
The two brothers of young Fox
were angry, and now slipped up be-
hind Mr.. Grouse, but as they were
about to leap Tinker Bob appeared.
He had watched the whole scene.
And when the Foxes saw the King
Of the Forest they felt so ashamed
that they dropped their tails between
their legs and ran away.
How we hate to have our friends
catch us doing wrong!

Grouse for the first time. He said to
his brothers: "You wait here and
will catch that fellow for our supper"
Young Fox inherited a taste for
most every kind of feathered crea-
ture. And many times when Tinker
Bob knew nothing about it he
pounced also upon a young Cotton
Tail and carried him away to cave
IN the rocks where he and his broth
ers would have feast Sometimes
too, he left the forest and stayed
away days at time and when he came
back he would have a chicken from
the farmers coop.
'Now I'll slip up on him when
he isn't looking and there will be one
squawk and it will be all over" con-
tinued young Fox, looking toward
Mr.. Grouse.
His two brothers waited and
watched, thinking how good it
would taste to have one of Mr..
Grouse's wings to eat. Young Fox was
indeed very spry, as we'll as shy, and
1t was hard for any to suspect his
presence. Mr.. Grouse was too
busy picking up hazelnuts, and did
not hear him.
Young Fox crept as close as he
dared, fearing the strange creature
might be more suspicious than the
ordinary forest dweller. He crouched
close to the ground, then like flash
ne sprang at Mr.. Grouse, But, to his
great surprise, when he landed, Mr..
Grouse was not there! He now stood
on log not rod from where young
Fox stood
Whats the matter, Mr.. FOx?"
asked Mr.. Grouse.
Young Fox looked angry, "4ou

he.

how smart I wasn't" said Mr..

WEIMAR, June 20.-(night) -Presi-
dent Ebert failed in his efforts to
form new cabinet today, owing to
hjs inability to obtain support of a
majority of the political leaders here.
The conference of political chiefs, in
which the attempt TO organize new
ministry was made, adjourned after d
long session. Adjournment was fore
cd nv refusal of the democrats TO join
in the new government unless certain
further concessions were made by the
| allies.
As result of this deadlock, Ebert
Immediately dispatched note to the
allies, notifying them he was unable
10 form government and making the
following demands:
100000 for indennities.
2-Withdrawal of the allied demand
for surrender of the former kaiser.
3-mmediate admission OF Germany

The note will be delivered to the
allies in versailles by Secretary Won

II the allies reply to the note Is
favorable, it Is regarded as likely the
democrats will join in forming a new
cabinet favorable to acceptance of the
terms. Support OF the democrats APP

today that Germany will sign the

ahead of expiration of the time limit.

Scheidemann ministry, was believed
here to have been formed over night.
This body supposedly pledged to &C
ceptance OF the terms, was expected
TO communicate It's decision to the ma

IN spite of the optimism in peace
circles here, allied military and naval
authorities continued preparations for
possible resumption of hostilities
