FOXY
STORY

WE were up in the North
w Woods Of Canada. We had
taken a canoe and padded way
UP to the end of a lake and had
decided to camp there for
week or so.
Bobby was particularly In
favor of this because there was
excellent fishing in the lake and
that meant more to him than
seeing q hundred moose.
Bunny for some reason or
other was not keen on this place.
He didn't say anything, but I
knew he had some objection
to 1t.
We pitched our tent which we
had brought along in the canoe
and that night Bobby and I
slept like two tops-I never
knew exactly why people say
that-but at any rate that is
now we slept.
Bunny seemed rather nervous
that morning and surprised me
when he said he hadn't slept
anything like top. In fact ne
said he was very much disturbed
during the night.
Didn't you hear anything,
Foxy Grandpa?" asked Bunny.
az didn't hear a sound from
the time my head struck my
pillow Of pine boughs," / laughed.
That's good" said Bunny.
What did you hear?" 1 asked.
st just heard something, re
piled my little rabbit, and then
he stopped.
We had coffee and bacon and
toast for breakfast, and how
good 1t tasted; cooked out there
in the woods. Then, as soon as
Bobby had helped mo wash UP,
into his duffe-bag he dove. Out
came his fishing tackle and down
to the lake he ran.
It'll be home for lunch, Foxy
Grandpa" he called over his
shoulder.
BE careful" I shouted.
I was busy around camp and
did not notice Bunny until 1t
was nearly lunch time. Then
he attracted my attention by
watching the lake nervously.
What are you watching for.
Bunny?" I asked.
Bobby" he replied, "I wish
he would come back"
Don't worry. His stomach
will tell him when it is time to
come back. That boy doesn't
need a watch to tell meal time. :"
Bunny just shook his head and
said no more.
cooked the lunch and set
around our plates. Now I knew
Bobby would soon be turning up.
Bobby did turn up-in a very
few minutes. Both when 1 saw
his little white face 1 knew that
something had happened.
He rushed up to me, threw his
arms around my neck and said:
Bunny was right, Foxy Ora ad-
pa. Let's move camp. I had a
terrible scare.
He sat down and could not
speak for a moment.
Tell me, Bobby, what was it?''
Wolf" gasped Bobby.
''Wolfr' I exclaimed.
Yes. SIR" said Bobby; IT was
sitting there fishing when all
of a sudden felt something
looking at me. looked up and
there glaring at me and showing
his teeth was a big gray wolf"
"Oh, Bobby" I sighed.
Yes, sir. and his eyes were
shining, and he growled. Oh,
Foxy Grandpa, he growled some
thing awful"
What did you do?" I asked.
81 didn't know what to do ]
just dropped my fishing rod-it
fell out of my hand. When it fell
1t nearly reached to that wolf
and he ran away"
Ran away?" I repeated in sur
prise.
Sure" said Bunny; "a wolf
will run from a child with a
stick in his hand. and I guess he
thought Bobby's was a pretty
long one. I knew I heard those
wretches last night. No wonder
couldn't give an imitation OF
a top"
