Brown, and in her hands was a broom.

Bowser the Hound. with his nose to

he started after Reddy. Such a racket
as they all made! 1t seemed to Reddy
Fox that he never had heard such q
noise.
AS for Sammy Jay. he had found the
excitement he had been looking for
and was perfectly happy. He hadn't
enjoyed anything SO much for Z long
time. He fairly danced with excite
ment as he continued to scream at
the top Of his voice. It was great fun
for Sammy. Yes, sir, it was great fun
for Sammy. He enjoyed 1t all the more
because he had upset the plans Of
Reddy Fox. There is nothing he takes
greater delight in than In getting
RedGy Fox into trouble. As for Red
dy, he wished with all his might that
he hadn't listened to temptation, It
was a hot day and he didn't feel like
