LITTLE STORIES FOR
BEDTIME
Old Granny Fox Tries a New

10y. THORNTON w. euRoEss.)

(By THORNTON w. euRoEss.)
Old Granny Fox kept thinking about
Danny Meadow Mouse. She knew that
he was fat. 1t made her mouth water
every time she thought OF him. She
made up her mind that she must and
would have him. She knew that Danny
had been very, very much frightened
when she and Reddy Fox had tried so
hard to catch him by plunging down
through the snow into his little tun-
nels after him, and she felt pretty
sure that he wouldn't go far away from
the old fence post in the hollow OF
which he was snug and safe.
But old Granny Fox Is very smart
Danny Meadow Mouse won't put his
nose out of that old fence post Tor
day or two. Then he'll get tired OF
staying inside all the time, and he'll
peep out Of one of his little round
doorways to see II the way is clear, II
he doesn't see any danger nell come
out and run around on top OF the snow
the tail grasses that stick out through
the snow. II nothing frightens MN
hen keep going a little farther and
little farther from the old fence post.
i must see to II that Danny Meadow
Mouse isn't frightened for few days"
So said old Granny Fox to herself as
she lay under a hemlock tree study
ling how she could best get the next
meal
Then she called Reddy Fox TO her
and forbade him to go down on the
meadows until she should tell him he
might Reddy grumbled and mumbled
and didn't see why he shouldn't go
where he pleased. but he didn't dare
disobey. You see he had sore foot.
He had hurt IL on a wire barb when
he was pungng through the snow after
Danny Meadow Mouse. and now he had
TO run on three legs. That meant that
he must depend upon Granny Fox 70
help him get enough to eat. SO Reddy
didn't dare to disobey.
II all came out just as Granny FOX
had thought II would. Danny Meadow
Mouse did get tired OF staying In the
old Tense post. He did peep out FIRST
and then he did run little way on
the snow and then little farther But
all the time he took great care not TO
get more than jump or two from
one OF his little round doorways lead
ing down to his tunnels under the
snow
Hidden on the edge OF the Green
Forest Granny Fox watched him. She
looked UP at the sky and she knew
that II was going to snow again.
sThat's good" said she Tomorrow
morning I'll have fat Meadow Mouse
for breakfast" and she smiled hungry
smile.
\ The next morning. before jolly round,
red Mr.. Sun was out OF bed old Granny
Fox trotted down on TO the meadows
and straight over to where down under
the snow lay the old fence post. II
