 How are the children, my dear ?" said Reddy Fox to Mrs. Reddy, as he met her just outside their home in the Old Pasture.
 'As hungry as usual" replied Mrs Reddy somewhat grossly. What did you bring home with you tonight ?"
 Nothing" replied Reddy. Then seeing the look of disappointment on Mrs. Reddy's face he hastened to add. but 1 have good news"
 T never yet got fat on news. eith- CT good or bad" retorted Mrs. Red dy sharply, 'If you would bring home rabbit or chicken it would count more with me than the best news in the world. News doesn't fill the empty ,stomachs of little Foxess
 But my dear. my dear" Reddy hastened to say, this news may mean full stomachs all around by and by"
 Mrs. Reddy sat down facing Reddy Well" said she, what is it? Out with it. I'm willing to listen to any thing that promises full stomach" :"
 Then Reddy told her all about his discovery that there had been a party in the clover patch near the Old Briar-patch. At first Mrs. Reddy did not seem at all interested. but when Reddy told her that there had been five little rabbits and four little chucks at that party she licked her lips hungrily. She thought right how much they would enjoy tender young rabbit orschuck.
 "Of course" said she. there won't be a chance to catch one of those youngsters. That Old Briar-pa is the worst ever. Probably those rab- bits won't poke their noses outside"
 They have done It once, so why shouldn't they do it again?" replied Reddy. They must have had a regular party there In that clover patch. Having once been there, they will visit it again at the very first chance. Between us we ought to be able to catch some of them"
 What do you mean by between us," asked Mrs. Reddy, looking at Reddy very sharply.
 T mean" replied Reddy, that it will be almost hopeless for either of us to try to catch them alone. But if we work together I think we can fool Johnny Chuck and Peter Rabbit. Of course they are the ones we must look out for I propose that tomorrow before dark we go over to the Green Meadows. You will go way around and steal through the grass to the Old Briar- patch. I will come along later on the opposite side. the side where the sweet clover patch Is. Johnny Chuck will be sure to see me. He proba- bly, will warn the others. I will pre- tend not to pay any attention to him. Then I will trot off taking care to keep where he can see me
