was that just before he went to bed.
Farmer Browns Boy heard Browser's

1t was along in the darkest hour, of
the night that two figures stole up to
the henhouse. They were very, very
quiet. All was still at Farmer Browns
house, for every one was asleep in

dark figures to the other.

But the locked door made little diff

to locked doors. It took only a few
moments to force it open. When they
entered the henhouse, one of them
turned on a naShllght. MY" he WhIS-
pered, this is the best lot of hens we've
found. This will be a good nights

thief. I'm bring them in"
He stepped outside and brought in
two or three big bags.

one, that dog may come home.''
Don't you worry about that dog"
replied the other. Hes chasing a Fox.
He won't come home before morning.

well" replied Farmer Brown, take
my advice and be sure that you lock
the henhouse door every night"
Farmer Browns Boy said that he
would. In fact, he got up right then
and went out to make sure that the
henhouse door was locked. But he
wasn't really afraid that thieves would
visit that henhouse. No one ever had
stolen any chickens there-that is, no
human being had ever stolen any. Of
course. Reddy Fox and Robber the Rat
and Shadow the Weasel had from time
to time taken few, but somehow
Farmer Browns Boy had never regarded
these as thieves. {.
That night Bowser the Hound, who
had been left unclaimed, took it into
his head to go hunting. He knew that
he shouldn't do it, but every so often
