tongue is as sharp as her wits. So as
he trotted along Reddy tried to think of
something to tell Granny that would
make Granny forget to scold. He would
tell how all the old tricks had failed.
That would interest her, for it was she
who had taught him those very tricks.
Perhaps when she found out that those
tricks were no longer any good for any
thing so far as Bowser the Hound was
concerned, she would try to think Of
new ones and forget to scold.
Right then Reddy stopped and stared
at nothing, foolishly. 1t had just pop
ped into his head that Granny would
want to know how he finally had fooled
Bowser and what could he tell her?
If he told her the truth, that he had
rushed into Buster Bears bedchamber
without knowing that it was Busters
bed chamber. she would call him care
less and needless and say many sharp
things. But why not let her believe
not? He wouldn't have to say that
he had done so, but he could tell about
it in such a way that she would think
that he had purposely done this as a
smart trick to get rid of Bowser. The
more he thought it over the better he
liked the idea. 1t would make him az
pear very smart. And it would make
him appear very daring. Granny would
think him very brave and smart. Then,
too, he could boast about it to his neigh
bors. Shey would all look up to him
and admire him. He sat down to think
it over. When he started on again he
had actually begun to believe it him
self. Yes, sir, Reddy Fox had actually
made himself begin to believe that he
had known all the time that Buster
Bear was there and had led Bowser the
Hound there as a smart trick to get
rid of him.

Little Stories For Bedtime
Reddy Fox Plans What To Tell Granny
tBy THORNTON BURGEss)

WHEN Reddy Fox had crawled
w in under the tangle of fallen
w trees deep in the Green Forest
he had not had the least idea that he
would find any one there. His one and
only thought had been to reach the mol
low free that he remembered was there,
for once in that he would be Safe from
Rowser the Hound. If Reddy had
known that Buster Bear had made his
bed there nothing under the sun would
have induced him to go there, not even
fine fear that he could not fool Bowser
the Hound. While Reddy does not dare
face Bowser and fight him, he is hum
dred times more afraid of Buster Bear.
So when he suddenly discovered that
he had run to the wrong place, actually
had crept into Busters bedroom, and
that Buster was there, he got such
fright that he forgot all about being
tired and out of breath with running
He had one thought and that was to
get away from there in, the quickest
possible time. And he did it He got
out of there just as he was trying to
show some one how fast he could run.
At the same time Bowser the Hound
was trying to do the same thing. You
see Bowser is just as much afraid OF
Buster as is Reddy. Bowser's tail was
between his legs and he was yelping for
all he was worth, crying before he was
hurt, you know. No wonder Buster
Bear laughed. He just couldn't help it.
OF course it didn't take Reddy Fox
long to find out that Buster Bear was
not chasing him. And it didn't take
him long to find out that Bowser the
Hound. She couldn't catch him either.
The truth is Bowser had lost all de-
sire to chase anyone. All he thought
about was getting home. He had had
such fright that home seemed the very
best place in all the world, and he
wanted to get there. When Reddy dis
covered. that he no longer needed to run,
he lay down to rest and get his breath.
After q while he started for home, and
as he trotted along he began to think
| what he should tell Granny Fox. He
knew that Granny would know that he
had been hunted by Bowser the Hound.
She couldn't help but have heard Bow
ser's voice and that would have been
enough. Reddy knew that the first
thing she would ask him would be how
Bowser had happened to chase him.
He didn't want to tell her. He knew
that she would scold him for having
yielded to the temptation to try to catch
one of Farmer Browns hens. But he
knew that it would be no use to tell
her anything but the truth. Old Gran
ny Fox is very smart She would
know that that chase had started very
near Farmer Browns and that it
wouldn't have started if Reddy hadn't
been there. So Reddy made up his
mind to tell her the truth.
Now Reddy Fox doesn't mind what
other people think or say, but he does
mind what old Granny Fox says. Her

Love arrived he could not expect to
have much oppol tunity to talk to Joan.
He smiled, but his brows wrinkled as
he remembered how his sister-in-law
had logged his footsteps during a for
mer visit. At that time the house
keeper was a rather attractive look
ing woman, but frightfully irrespon-
sible. In some way Mrs. Love seemed
to get the impression that he cared for
her and within a week she managed to
plan her dismissal. Rupert had never
even shown any interest in the woman,
the house and he was willing to over
look some of her mistakes.
Joan however was a very different
type of woman and doubtless Mrs.
Love would be pleased to see the i'm
provement in Sonny. Thinking of him
Rupert decided that he must talk to him
about his aunt. He well knew that
there was no lost love between the two,
and he often felt that if he had to take
sides he certainly would cast his lot
with Sonny. Still he wished that Son.

Skinner School Firetrap

The Skinner school at w. Jackson
Blvd. and Aberdeen streets, altho
better than most of the working class
district schools has many objectional
features. The most Objectionable
feature Of the school is that there
are so many very young children
going there that the first two grades
attend on the two shift plan. Ed
vocational authorities in the public
schools Of Chicago say that children
for the first four grades at least
should be permitted to go to school
a full day. Under this two shift plan
classes start very very early in the
morning for some of the children.
When very young children are forced
to get up very early an unnecessary
hardship is imposed on them, the ed
ucators say.
