distance from the shore to that big
rock. The little Fox sat down and
kept his eyes fixed on that big rock.
There was no doubt now that there
was something red on 1t. The little
Fox sat perfectly still and stared and
waited.
AT last a Merry Little Breeze came
| dancing out from the other bank
right over that big rock. The bright
| eyes of the little Fox saw something
move. The Merry Little Breeze kept
right on coming until 1t reached the
| eager little Fox. 1t tickled his nose
, and instantly the little Fox jumped
right up with little yelp of JOY.
Merry Little Breeze had brought to
him the scent of Reddy Fox, and had
| brought it straight from that big
rock. He knew now that that red
dish mass on the top OF that big rock
| was his father curled up there, and
| that what he had seen move was
! Reddy's long fur when the Merry
! Little Breezes had rumpled 1t up.
| At the excited yelp of that little
| Fox Reddy promptly jumped to MS
! feet. and with a long bound reached
| another rock. and from there jumped
| to third and finally to the bank.
| Then he trotted to where the little
| Fox was waiting.
We'll done, son." said he. Il real
| " didn't think any of you children
|
I'm proud of you. You used your
| wits, your eyes and your nose. If
YOU always use these three as well as
YOU have this time you will live to
good old age. You see, j was right
| in plain sight all the time. but when
YOU and the others started out TO
| look for me you didn't think to look out
! in the middle of the Laughing Brook.
Remember that it often happens that
| il is easier to hide in plain sight than
| in the most secret hiding place
People never expect to find in plain
| sight one they are looking for. And
so. though they may look right at
him. they may not see him."
Then Reddy led the way back to
| the stones on which the little FOX
had crossed, and together they went
back to the other side of the Laugh
f., ing Brook and down the bank to join
Mrs. Reddy and the other young
| Foxes. Mrs. Reddy looked very proud
| of that smart young Fox. But she
didn't say anything. You see, she
didn't want to put the idea into his
head that he was smart. AS Tor the
other young Foxes. they would hard
" sneak to their clever brother. You
see they were jealous of him. Yes,
sir. they were jealous of him because
J he had been smarter than they;
You'll find folks just like that all
through life.

1T seems that the image, or rather

In some cases glasses need not be

person over six years of age, even Ii
the eyes can be permanently straight

Squint or cross eye Of the congen-
ital type, present at birth or noticed
shortly after birth, is usually due to
faulty development of the eye-ball

need of early treatment Is not SO

Squint (also called strabismus and

Squint due to an error of refrac-

child is two or three years old and
begins to regard near objects for

likely to be noticed by parents at

particularly careful about overuse
of the eyes while the weakness in

The smartest of the four half
grown children of Reddy Fox had
crossed the Laughing Brook by jump
ing from one big stone to another.
Now he trotted along the other bank,
with his nose in the air and his eyes
fixed on a certain big rock. The
nearer he got to that big rock the
more sure he was that his eyes hadn't
fooled him. There was something
red on that big rock in the middle of
the Laughing Brook, and every once
in a while it moved. 1t moved when
ever a Merry Little Breeze passed
over it.
Pretty soon the little Fox was
right opposite that big rock. At this
