 You should have seen Reddy Fox Hral up hlorG the edge oI tho Green Ter, st. Always his black cars worc cooked forward. He crouchn1 as low as he could and he took ad- vantage of every little bush and every little mound of snow, creep ing behind them and pecping around before he would move ahead. Of course, he made no noise. On the snow those little black feet of his could move rapidly without sound. The nearer he got 10 the place where he thought that Pheasant was the moro careful ne was in all his movements. At last he paused ! by a little pile of brush. Not very 1 far beyond this was that Pheasant; he was sure. He would wait for that Pheasant to crow again,
 Rcddy didn't have 10 wait long, i In fact. he had 10 wait only mo- mcnt or two Then ho heard that Pheasant crow, and by the sound he was sure it was just around the other side of that little pile Of i brush. You should have sonn Rcd | dy creep around that brush! He crouchcd so close to the snow that 1 his coat actually dragged on tho snow. TIc would take q step and then pause to listen. Then he would take another step and pause. Pretty soon he was where he could polk" his nose around. You should have socn with what care he did it. Slowly, slowly, slowly, that little black nose was poked around until at last he could sec with one eye the ground beyond that little pile of brush. There were some bushes there, hut-look as he would-he conld sec nothing of that Pheasant,

 So Eoddy began 10 move little faster. but he was just as cautions and just as careful as ever. He was all prepared to make a swift jump 10 catch that Pheasant. And then he heard that growing once more, This time it was up above his head. 1Tc looked m. There sat Mockcr tho Mncking Bird Good morning.
