Gently returned from abroad,
where she spent fourteen
months studying economic conditions.
She has many interesting stories to
tell. Among them is the tale of how
she was nearly jailed in Ireland sew
eral times while she was travelling
through that country, and 1t was
merely the fact that her grandfather
has been a Presbyterian minister in
the county of Ulster that kept her
out of Jail.
She also tells how in France one
cannot be silent on the war question.
for feeling still runs SO high there
that silence. instead OF meaning con-
sent or acquiescence-as 1t Is gener-
ally understood to mean-is taken to
have exactly the opposite meaning
He or she who Is not enthusiastically
bubbling over with praise of France
ts considered to be siding with the
enemies of that country.
In Germany there Is no longer evil
dence of the active hatred for the al
lied countries which theX admit was
rampant during the war, but, just the
same, the minute an American ap-
proaches a German store to buy any
thing whatsoever, the price Is quad
rupled, IT. not more.
Yet, Mrs. Baker insists that both
mon and women in all these countries
are clamoring for world peace above
everything else. They are nauseated
at the thought Of moro war.
There isn't a country in suffering
Europe that doesn't want peace for

Something must have happened to
him. What could have happened to
him she hadn't the slightest idea This
wasn't the hunting or trapping sea-
OF the Green Forest people smart
enough to catch Reddy.
By and by she decided that they
could wait no longer. Those young
Foxes must be fed. She took one
long last look over toward the Green
Forest, then led her lively children
down on the Green Meadows to hunt
for grasshoppers and for meadow
mice. Then for awhile she had no
time to think about Reddy; she had
other worries. Those lively young
Foxes required every bit Of her at
tention. First one and then another
would wander too far away and
would have to be brought back and
scolded. 1t seemed to her that they
never would get their fill of grass
hoppers.
But at last their little stomachs
were full and they were quite ready
to go back to the home in the Old
Pasture for nap. 1t was late in
the morning and jolly, round. bright
Mr.. Sun was high In the blue. blue
Fox had not returned and again she
began to be worried. While the four
young Foxes lay curled up for nap
she kept her eyes wide open and tried
to think what could have happened
to Reddy. She was far too worried
to take a nap herself.
Suddenly far in the distance she
heard a sound that caused her to sit
UP with her sharp black ears stretch
ed as widely open as possible. She
knew that sound. There was no mis-
taking 1t; 1t was the voice of Bowser
the Hound. 1t was far away and
faint, but she knew just where 1T
came from. 1t came from over near
Farmer Browns house. She cooked
her head to one side that she might
hear better. Wow. wow, wow.
WOW" came Bowser's voice. She
knew instantly what Bowser was
saying. He was saying Fox, fox.
fox, fox" And she knew that he had
his nose in a fresh trail.
A sudden suspicion caused Mrs.
Reddy to stop worrying. Instead of
worrying she became provoked. She
became very much provoked. "Reddy
has been fooling around Farmer
Browns henhouse." thought she. He
knew better than to do that. Now
Bowser the Hound is after him, and
there is no knowing what may hap
pen. He had no business to take
such a chance. I do hope he will
have sense enough not to come this

Reddy Fox had been missed at
home. He should have been there
shortly after daylight, or even before.
Mrs. Reddy had the four young Foxes
to look after and she needed Reddy's
help. You know they were big
enough now to get their first lessons
in the Great World and to be taught
how to hunt for their own food. OF
course they were inclined to be ven-
turesome. They did not yet know
the dangers Of the Great World. They
shouldn't go where they pleased. So
when they were away from their
home in the Old Pasture they, needed
close watching. And to watch two
OF them and keep them out of mis-
chief was about all Mrs Reddy felt
So when Reddy was late Mrs.
Reddy became provoked. Those young
Foxes were teasing to go hunting for
grasshoppers down on the Green
Meadows. Mrs. Reddy had hard work

they just couldn't keep still. Jolly.

and higher in the blue. blue sky and
still their father did not return.
Mrs. Reddy became worried. Never

"If you mean all this as jab at
me-" John Informed her In cool. level
tones, "you might as we'll save your
breath. For months past I've been
making every possible enort to get
decenter job than l have with Blais-
dell"
Il didn't mean it as a jab." Mer-
RAMS chin was lifted bravely. but
it was trembly: for she wouldn't for
worlds have had John know how
heartsick it made her to realize that
he didn't understand how marvellous
an opportunity he really had with
the Blaisdel firm II he could be made to
you'd-well. I don't think you under
stand how much Uncle Thorne wants
to help you. You Just go around
with a sort OF chip on your shoui-
der-ouch!" She ended in anti
climax as she made q side,swipe at q q
fighting with them and go get our
selves a nice. cool lemonade: but: oh.
Johnsy"-regardless of the view from
the side porch she flung both arms
around his neck to bury her bronze
curls against his shoulder DID
az YOU call it, because 1 do think that
II you could speed up just a bit Uncle
Thorne might"
He didn't answer her. He pulled her
arms gently away and opened the
screen door, slashing vigorously to
scare the "skeets" away. From the
porch came Roses soft laughter and
Don Ferry's drawl.
II think TIL do little jabbing
myself." John remarked petulantly.
THAT fellow makes me slightly
tired"
Her hand on his arm, Merriam tried
to restrain him.
"Don't be silly" she begged: don't
spoil things when they're going SO
nicely! Just because you're cross
with me is no reason why you should
be rude to Rosie's only beau!
: But she could not stop him. He
moved resolutely toward the screened
porch.
