to rescue Piggie and also to find out some
thing that he had been puzzled over the
night before.
Piggle stopped crying and Mr.. Fox
leaped over the fence and stood with
his hind feet on the ground, while he
placed his front paws on the fence and
told piggie he must climb UP his back
to the top Of TIE fence.
When this was done over leaped Mr..
Fox on the other side and took iiggie off
the fence and told him to follow him.
Soon they were ont in the road and
very soon after Piggie saw the gate of
the barnyaTd he started TO crawl under IT,.

repay my kindness. Come around back

wish to do something to repay kind Mr..
Fox for saving his hfe.

FOX, but | am not quite sure those
green boughs will hold me. / am afraid
they are over a hole, but you are so much
smaller, Piggie, | am sure you will not
mind stepping on them and looking TO
see if they are on the ground, or If there
really is a hole under them that | might
fall into.
Piggie gladly did as he was asked,
but he had taken only two or three steps
when something went Click, and Mr.
Fox ran while poor Piggie squcaled loud
ly, for a trap held him by ono foot.
That was just what Mr.. Fox thought
was there 10 catch him and he wanted
to find out lie did not stop to help poor
Piggle but instead he skedaddlcd for home
as fast as he could go.
The farmer, hearing Piggie's squeals,
came out and released him, but Piggie' 5
foot was so badly hurt that he was lame
the rest of his life and never could run
about as his brothers did, and everyone
who saw him knew he was the little
pig who ran away and did not mind his
mother.

to "A cooking stove, or sewing machine,
or perambuator-why that's another
story.
They cannot see themselves knocking

Yet of all women in the world, no one

such alluring background for a woman as

become personages when they are at the

To the married woman, her tools are
her salvation, for with them she keeps
her husband and her home safe. Age comes

loses its lightness and grace. Perhaps her

babies is no developer of wit and persi-

romance, but strong on comfort. He Is
ftssy about his eating. He wants his

him with that he will never find out that

that she misses all the points in his best
