The Young Fox Discovers His
Mistake,
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.
May fortune spare you from the fate
OF those who End mistakes too late.

Old Mother Nature.
The young Fox. Who had crept into
a barrel back Of Farmer Browns
henhouse and thought himself very
clever and smart, had a sudden and
unpleasant end put to his thoughts.
Right in the midst of them a dread
full sound filled his ears. At least it
was dreadful sound to him. 1t was
the great voice of Bowser the Hound.
The young Fox didn't know what
it meant. but it struck terror to his
heart just the same. He was sure
that Bowser hadn't seen him. and so
for minute or two he couldn't be-
lieve that all this noise Bowser vas
making had anything to do with him.
