So it was that the big family rapid,

grew smaller. until at last only two of
the children remained They were the
Timid One and the Weakling. 1t was
ones to leave Now that there were
not so many mouths to feed, Father
and Mother were finding life a little
easier. The Weakling also began to
gain, for, of course. she had more to
eat She never would be as big as her
brothers and sisters. but there was a
chance that she would no longer be
a weakling. Both Mother and Father
watched over her and saw that she got
the choicest bits of food

y You remember what a big FAM
" ily Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy
had over in the Old Pasture.
L 1t was the biggest family they
ever had had There were eight lit
tie Foxes. Yes, sir, there were eight
of them Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were
tremendously proud of that family,
but ii meant IN amount OF work such
as they never had known before. You
see. those eight little mouths had to
be fed for some time. They had to be
fed until the young Foxes we're big
enough and old enough to hunt for
food themselves.
Good mothers we find everywhere
emong the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. but
good fathers are not so often found.
Reddy Fox is a good father I know
of none better. In fact, know of
few so good. Reddy worked himself
almost to skin and bones He went
hungry much of the time in order
that the children might be we'll fed.
Both he and Mrs Reddy were so thin
that, had they been weighed, their
weight would not have been more
than half what it had been before
the coming of the family.
SO actually it was with something
of relief that the discovery that one
of the young Foxes had left home
was made. This was the biggest and
boldest of the youngsters. and he was
called the Bold One He had gone
down to the edge of the Green Mead
ows to hunt for Mice, and he did not
return. Finally his mother went down
to look for him Naturally she was
anxious. Something might have hap
pened to him. She found where he
had caught a Mouse. Her nose told
her the story. She followed his trail
to where it turned away from the
little path that led back home. She
guessed what had happened, but just
to make sure she trotted swiftly along
with her nose to the ground, follow
ing that trail So it was that she dis
covered that the Bold One had found
an old Fox home up in far corner
of the Old Pasture. 1t was one in
which she had lived years before. Mrs.
Reddy grinned. She watched for a
few minutes Then she turned and
trotted straight home. She was sat-
isfied.
Hes all right" said she to Reddy
'The Bold One is all right. He has
left us. but he has already found a
place to live. and I'm not going to
worry him. If the others do as well
when they leave home I'll be salts
fed"
II was only few days later that
another of the children failed to re-
turn. This was the Headstrong One
Mother worried over him a little. be-
cause he was headstrong. That meant
that he was likely to do foolish things
that might get him into trouble. He
really wasn't prepared to go out into
the Great World and Mother told him
So Now that he had gone, there was
nothing that she could do about it.
She sighed and wondered who would
be the next one.

and only 322 recaptures, which means
that there were rs fewer captures
than escapes. These figures also show
that there have been 234 fewer es-
capes so far this year than during the
same period in 1885, in spite of a
much larger prison population.
There has been a steady decline in
escapes for the past two years, the
records show with a Al per cent de-
crease in the 1885 fiscal year over
1884 and with a decrease almost as
great in 1886 over 1885, the figures
show.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1896, there were 523 escapes and 535
recaptures, showing two more cap
lures than escapes, while for the year
ending June 30, 1885, there were 1886
escapes and TAI recaptures. For the

Oscar T. Pitts, of the division, indi-
cate. During July there were only 80
escapes, with "a recaptures. while in
July, 1885, there were 81 escapes and

population is in excess Of 5000 pri-
soners.
For the seven months of 1886 end
ing July 81, there were 1853 escapes
from the prison system and 1875 re-
captures, which means that 80 more
prisoners were recaptured than that
escaped. Some of these prisoners, of
course, are those which escaped in
previous months or even previous
years. During the corresponding seven
months in 1885, from January / thro-

probably be doubled or trebled, Brown
indicated.

A growing realization of this fact

There were many other aspects of
