well, Bowser lay down in front OF
his own little house and once more
took up his watch.
A little later the same thing hap
pened. He heard Reddy Fox bark
and chased him away. While he
was doing this Mrs. Reddy brought
two more mice to that young Fo1
and tried to comfort him while he
ate. BY the time Bowser got back
she was gone and Bowser didn't
even suspect that she had been
there.
So it was that the next morning
when Farmer Browns Boy came out
the plate Of food he had left for the
young Fox had not been touched
He didn't know what to make of it
He had been sure that before the
night was over hunger would gel

would eat. But not a thing had
been taken from that plate. Farmer
Browns Boy began to be worried
Could it be that this young Fox
meant to starve himself to death!
A dozen times during that day
Farmer Browns Boy went over to
see If that food had been touched
It hadn't.

Sour Stomach
Best Relieved by Chewing q Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet-NO Water
Needed-Carry Them Loose
in Your Pocket. 81

What the average person needs in
this day and age is the balanced
stomach sweetener that he can take
at any time, at any place and get re-
lief right away. This effect is had
with one or two Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. No matter what you eat or
drink, if the stomach sours, gets
gassy, seems to bloat and press
against the heart, if it belches and
heartburn makes you miserable, try
these tablets. The moment they reach
the stomach they neutralize the
acids, they give the stomach the al
kalins effect it is craving for and
thus you soon feel good. the stomach
is settled and the faults Of indiges-
ton are thus corrected. You may
now eat pie, cheese, sausage; pickles,
if you get a 60-cent box of Stuarts

old Mother Nature.
The young Fox, who was a pris-
oner back of Farmer Browns house,
was not the only. one who heard
his father, Reddy Fox, bark back of
Farmer Browns barn in the night.
Bowser the Hound heard him. Bow
ser was keeping watch. He had
slept during the day, so that he
didn't mind keeping watch through
the night. He hadn't forgotten the
visit of Mrs. Reddy to that young
Fox the night before and he sus-
pected that she would come again.
When he heard Reddy Fox bark
twice out back of the barn Bowser
pricked up his ears. He knew that
there was a Fox there. He tingled
all over with desire to go chase that
Fox. But at first he didn't go. You
see, he felt it was his duty to keep

came from just around the corner
of the barn. Bowser could stand it
no longer. He trotted around the
corner of the barn and was just in
time to see some one in the moon
light disappear around back Of the
barn. This was more than Bowser
could stand and away he went with
his great voice breaking the silence
Of the night.
The instant Bowser disappeared
around the corner of the barn a
shadowy form appeared right in
front of the box which was now the
home of the young Fox. Any way,
that form would have appeared
shadowy if you had been there to
see it. OF course, it wasn't shadowy,
as the young Fox found, to his de-
light. It was his mother. 1t was
Mrs. Reddy. In her mouth were
three fat mice, which she dropped
in front of him. Joyously he seized
them and while he ate his mother
stretched herself beside him and
licked his face. For so long as Bow
sers voice could be heard she re-
manned with the young Fox. But
Bowser's voice wasn't heard for
long. He didn't follow Reddy Fox
far. You see, Bowser felt that his
duty was back there by the house

Captures Liquor Car
After Revolver Clash

HAWKINSVILLE, Ga, Oct 3d.
Officer w. D. Glider captured an au-
tomobile, which, he asserts was load
ed with rye whisky Friday night
after running gun battle with the
driver, who escaped.
Officers here claimed that they
were tipped off Friday afternoon
that two big automobiles loaded
with whisky, were en- route to At
lanta by the way of HawkinsvilIe.
One of the cars was driven away
shortly after reaching Hawkinsville,
and officers stopped the other. The
driver snatched the pistol of officer
Hendrix away and precipiated Hen
dirk to the ground when he drove
off quickly.
Officer Glider pursued and several
shots were exchanged. The car was
stopped and the driver and a wom-
an, who was with him, escaped. The
machine was confiscated.
This is the second whisky-laden
machine captured by Glider during
the last two weeks.

Glenn began to realize what he had

Worst of all he Felt that Agnes

caught her doing some grotesque
