Vt DON'T SUPPOSE YOU ARE
AFRAID OF ANYBODY" SAID
THE YOUNG FOX.
too He wasn't rafting with his tail.
You see, having met the young Fox be-
fore he felt acquainted, and he didn't
think warning was necessary. The
young Fox noticed it. He made re-
mark about it.
"Oh," said the Snake, Il give warn
ings only when I think they are
needed"
do all the Poison People give warn
ing as you do?" asked the young Fox.
NO" replied the Snake. I'VE Rat
tlesnakes are the only ones who give
warning. Cousin Copperhead gives
no warning at all"
Il don't suppose you are afraid Of
anybody" said the young Fox.
mo, replied the Snake, I'm not
afraid of anything. Everybody is
afraid of me. I don't want trouble
with anybody, and that is why I al
ways give warning, if possible. Every
body keeps away from me when rat
tie that tail of mine. They know it
means danger. not for me, but for
them. But those who know me know,
also, that if they will leave me alone
won't bother them.
What would happen if Buster Bear
should come along?" the young Fox
asked.
Buster Bear would politely step
aside" replied the Snake. HE is JUS
as much afraid of me as is every one
else"
so don't suppose there is any one
you would run away FROM" said the
young Fox
"Of course, there isn't. don't
know what 1t is to run away" boasted
the Snake.
Just then there was the sound Of
some one coming down the path, and
the young Fox looked up to see Light
foot the Dear. The Snake turned to
look, also. For an instant the young
Fox stood looking at Lightfoot in ad-
miration, for, even though his antlers
were as yet not fully grown, Lightfoot
was very handsome. Then the young
Fox turned to look at the young Rat
tlesnake. The tail Of the latter was
just disappearing in the grass. and it
was very clear that that snake was 60
ing somewhere in hurry. Yes, sir; he
was getting away from there just as
fast as he could.
II do believe that that fellow Is
afraid. In spite of his boasting, he's
afraid; he's running away" said the
young Fox to himself.
Just then Lightfoot the Dear caught
q glimpse of that vanishing tail. Such
q change as came over him. His eyes
blazed. The hair along his shoulders
and back stood up. He plunged for
ward and brought his sharp-edged
hoofs down like flash in the grass
where that tail had disappeared, and
as quickly he leaped aside. 1t was all
done with a suddenness and a swift
ness that was amazing. Then Light
foot snorted.
II wasn't soon enough" he ex-
claimed. HE got under a stone in
there"
"Who?" asked the young Fox.
THAT Snake, of course" replied
Lightfoot.
WAS it you he was running away
from?" asked the young Fox in aston
tshment.
Lightfoot nodded. "Of course" said
he "and it's lucky for him that he
knew enough to run"
80" said the young Fox TO himself
thoughtfully, as he trotted home, even
the Poison People do know what fear
Is. And to think that it should be
Lightfoot the Dear, of all people that
that Snake feared"

of these, however, and planted both
feet in Dusek's chest and Ernie
sprawled to the canvas. Cliff then
started to pounce on the mat meanie,

N wolves who were bowling for
" about half the managerial
scalps in the big leagues dur
ing the closing weeks of the recent
base ball season apparently were bark
ing up the wrong tree nearly every
time they let of a blast.
The way the situation lines up now
there appears to be only one change
in sight among the club pilots for
1887, despite the unfounded reports
that had Jimmy Wilson, Rogers
Hornsby and Charley Dresser out as
managers of the Phillies. Browns and
Reds, respectively.
There had been rumors, too, that
all wasn't "beer and skittles" for Joe
Cronin with the Boston Red Sox and
Pie Traynor with the Pirates, but
these seem to have been as lacking
in foundation as those having to do
with Wilson, Hornsby and Dresser.
