to his home.
AS l told you, this happened long
before Mr.. Fox was clever; he would
not do such a thing now.
SO he called on Mr.. POSSum and
told him if he would take care of the
chickens he would give him two fine
ones to pay for his kindness.
Mr.. POssum said he would and that
he would store them safely away I'M
der "A rock by his house where there
vas a cave.
Mr.. Fox trotted back and forth all
night with fat chickens which he put
in the cave under the rock, but he did
not know that as fast as he put them
away Mr.. PoSSum carried them 10 an
other part Of the woods.
When il was almost daylight Mr..
Postum took another chicken and de-
parted for good, and when Mr.. Fox
looked into the cave he found only a
few OF the many chickens he had
placed there.
Mr.. Possum was nowhere TO he
found. lie had moved bag and bag
gage TO another home, but Mr.. Fox
hunted until he found him, and the
trouble began.

Mr.. Fox was surprised at the bold

had made a mistake.
Right here is where Mr.. Owl earned

MIR. OWL IS WISE BIRD.

MANY years ago, long before Mr..
4V1 Fox was called clever or sly, or
Mr.. Owl a wise bird, or any OF the
wood folk had earned any name for
themselves other than their own, there
was trouble between Mr.. Fox and Mr..
Postum.
Ii happened in this way. Mr.. Fox
n night went FOR chickens to q farm
a long way from his home, and when
he arrived he found that the poultry
house door was open and it was easy
enough TO get all he wanted, for Mr..
Dog was away.
The only trouble was that he had
no place to store them, and it was too
far to carry them to his home and 90
back for more.
Mr.. Fox happened TO think Of MIR.
Possum, and he decided that he would
make a bargain with him TO take care

The fact is that often people re-

that they hesitate to send invitations
that will make the recipients feel that
they are obliged TO make some sort

TUGBOAT SUNK IN BAY;
ENTIRE CREW SAVED
Shift of Sand in Barge Sends
II to Bottom.

Nearly 1000 persons who crowded the
decks of a Staten Island municipal
ferryboat yesterday afternoon witnessed
the sinking of a tugboat by a sand
laden scow 500 feet off Robbins Reef.
west of the main channel connecting the
upper and lower bays The captain and
eight of the tugboat crew and a man
who had been on the scow were res
cued a few minutes later by the crew
of another tugboat.
Capt. Wilson. skipper of the lost tug
boat, the Phoenix, said he was towing
a barge laden with sand when the lat
ter suddenly began to list, the sand to
shift, and in a moment the barge
turned on its side and dumped its cargo
into the water. AS the barge did so it
pulled the tug beneath the surface and
the water poured into the engine room.
Capt. Hugh Morrow of the tug TERROR
saw the tug go under and cut loose
from an empty barge he was towing up
the channel. The TERROR reached the
Phoenix just as the captain and the
crew OF the latter were about to leap
overheard.
AS the last man was pulled onto the
TERROR the Phoenix disappeared from
sight.
About the time the tug sank Govern
ment engineers set off blast at Fort
Jaw. which rocked lower Manhattan.
The chief clerk of Fort Jay called up
Police Headquarters later and said the
blast was set off to remove rock pro-
jecting eight feet from the bottom OF
the channel, which had been a menace
to navigation. The explosion sent
geyser of water thirty-five feet into the
air. which was seen by hundreds OF
