The late strike In the mills has
caused a serious financial depression
In the Whaling City and this has
caused attendance at the games to
be very slim. At first. it was pro-
posed to send the New Bedford club
to Meriden. In fact. an offer for the
team was being considered when the
Providence deal started.

Rusty the Fox Squirrel


When you stop to think of 1t, Reddy
Fox and Redtail were having a most
foolish quarrel. Yes, sir, 1t was most
foolish quarrel. They we're quarreling
over something that neither of them
had Each claimed that Rusty the Fox
Squirrel belonged to him, when, as a
So intent were they on their quarrel
that for while they actually forgot
what they were quarreling about.
After while Redtail saw an oppor-
tunity to take to his wings without
giving Reddy a chance to spring on his
back. AS Redtail mounted up into the
air Reddy Fox leaped upward and his
Jaws closed on one of Redtail's tail
feathers. The tail feather came out.
Redtail screamed angrily. Reddy Fox
stood looking up at Redtail and snarl-
ing just as angrily. Then Redtail
mounted up, up, up and began to look
for Rusty the Fox Squirrel. You see,
Redtail hadn't seen Rusty dodge down
that hole.
Reddy Fox knew where Rusty had
gone, however, and as soon as he was
sure that Redtail had gone for good
Reddy turned his attention to that hole.
1t wasn't quite big enough for him to
60 down himself, but it looked as II it
might be easy digging, and Reddy made
up his mind that he would dig out
Rusty the Fox Squirrel. He wouldn't
be cheated out of that Squirrel dinner
No, sir, he wouldn't be cheated out Of
that Squirrel dinner. So as soon as he
was sure that Redtail was too far
away to know what he was doing Reddy
poked his head into that hole and be-
gan to dig. He was digging the hole
larger
Now, this was the very thing that
Rusty the Fox Squirrel had been afraid
would happen. He is no digger him
self, and he knew that If Reddy should
really undertake to dig him out he
could do it. For this reason the first
thing Rusty had done after getting his
breath was to see that there was a
back hall to that old Chuck house. If
there were back hall, he might have
some chance. My, how he did hope he
would find a back hall with back
door opening out onto the Green
Meadows! Twice he found what he
thought were back halls, only to dis
cover that they soon ended. He was
almost In despair when he found an
other hall. It was small one He
wondered how Johnny Chuck could
have squeezed through it. 1t was big
enough for Rusty, however, to run
along in comfort. He pushed his way
along digging away some earth that
had fallen down. BY and by he could

smell fresh air. Then he knew he had
found the right hall and that in
moment he would be at the back door.
A stone partly closed the back door,
but after a little digging Rusty could
poke his head out. My. how good the
fresh air was! He didn't push his head
right out. First, he merely put his nose
out. Then he poked just enough of
his head out for his eyes to give him
chance to see all around Almost
the first thing he saw was big bushy

One Washington young fellow lost
$500 in small bets on the election. A
local woman lost $500 on Smith. She had
wagered to 8 that he would win. The
tendency to gamble on the result OF inn
portant events is characteristic Of Amer
leans. Matching for car fare is just one
example of this weakness. We have
seen $50 wagered on the result OF a
single golf stroke. After all, it is a
species of adventure, and adventure

systems and sowed the seed Of gigantic

it is not too fat. Wipe the meat care

gently until tender and well done. If
no more water is added during the
cooking, the cranberries will simmer
down to a thick sauce which should be
served with the meat in place of gravy.
No vegetables are added to the pot
roast prepared in this way, but mashed
or French fried potatoes make an
ideal accompaniment for 1t.

get way inside, then he would take to
ms heels. And by the time Reddy had
discovered that he wasn't in that hole
he would be safely across the Green
Meadows and up in tree; that is. he
would be If Redtail didn't come back.
Anxiously he looked all about in the
sky. A speck was just vanishing off
over the Green Forest. He knew it to
be Redtail.
Now, there will be a slip in the best
of plans. Rusty's plan was all right.
Reddy would have lot of digging to
do before he got down to the end of
that hall, and when he did get there
he would find that Rusty had escaped.
Meanwhile RUSTY would be racing
across the rest of the Green Meadows
