Mistaken Kindness.

every day some three or four good
fellows seek his cottage door, with kindly
thoughts abloom; since he feels like a
poisoned pup, they would be glad to
cheer him up and disSipate the gloom.
They would surround him where he
lies, and tell him how they sympathize
and hope he'll soon be well. they'd place
cool hands upon his brow when he's

BEDTIME STORIES BY y 1 s"SeSse

| to the Old Pasture on Farmer Browns
| farm--the Old Pasture where lived
Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy. It was no
| wonder that the owner of the chickens,
who knew that Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
lived in the Old Pasture, was certain
that one of them was stealing the
chickens. Farmer Browns Boy could
see the tracks of this man who had
followed the Fox tracks clear up to the
Old Pasture. There they turned back.
But Farmer Browns Boy didn't turn
back. He continued to follow the foot
prints of this strange Fox. They LED
up to the Old Pasture, but they did not
lead near the home of Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy. They led up through the Old
Pasture and finally out of it on the far
side. That was all that Farmer Browns
Boy wanted to know He went back to
see his neighbor who had lost the
chickens.
"It isn't the Foxes who live up IN
our Old Pasture" said he to the neigh
Dor. "I am absolutely sure OF 1t. 1t Is
some other Fox
The neighbor looked unconvinced.
What proof of that have you?" said ne.
"Well, to begin with" replied Farmer
Browns boy, 81 have measured num-
Der of the footprints of the Fox that
stole your chickens. They are conslo-
erably larger than the footprints OF
Mrs. Reddy, who lives up in the Old
Pasture, for I have measured her foot
prints"
Then he opened his little book and
showed the neighbor the measurements
of the prints.
The neighbor grinned "Well, that
lets one Fox out" said he, but it
doesn't let out Reddy Fox, who also
lives up there in the Old Pasture. You
will have to admit that the footprints
are the size of Reddy's footprints"
Farmer Browns Boy smiled, but he
didn't let the neighbor see the smile.
II see you followed those footprints up
to the Old Pasture" said he.
The neighbor nodded. That is the
way knew it was one of those Foxes
up there" said he.
But you didn't follow those tracks
through the Old Pasture" said Farmer
Browns Boy.
NO" replied the neighbor, ut wasn't
necessary"
IF you had" said Farmer Browns
Boy, you would have found that those
tracks did not go anywhere near the
home of Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy,
but crossed the Old Pasture. So that's
that. But I have still further proof
that Reddy Fox had nothing to do with
your chickens"

Mrs. ReddY Freed of Blame.
Be slow, pray, in fixing blame,
Lest thus YOU soil an honest name.
Farmer Browns Boy

Farmer Browns Boy was up in the
Old Pasture. There were Fox tracks In
the snow there-plenty of them. Farm
er Browns Boy followed one line of
these tracks. When he found good,
clear print of a foot he took little
measure from his pocket and measured
that print. Then he smiled as he wrote
the figures down in little book beside
some figures that were there already.
The size of the print he had just meas
ured was smaller than the size of the
print whose measurement was already
written down in the little book.

Boy. ut isn't Mrs. Reddy who has been

So Farmer Browns Boy continued to
follow the footprints of Mrs. Reddy and
he soon discovered that she was doing
all her hunting in direction quite OPP

had been stolen. Then he went back
to that farm and followed the tracks
of the chicken thief That they were
