way into the henhouse to get chicken.
He had lost lot OF chickens and hao
blamed Reddy as the killer. Even
now. despite the fact that Farmer
Browns Boy had shown him that the
killer couldn't have been Reddy, but
that the mischief had been done by
Rats, he was convinced against his
will, as the saying is, which means
that he still held a doubt. 1t was
hard for him to believe any good of
Reddy Fox, and there are many people
Just like him, more is the pity
But Neighbor Andrews wasn't there
and Farmer Browns Boy was, and he
was seeing just what he had expected
to see. Reddy wasn't looking for a
way into the henhouse. He was far
too smart to waste time trying to get
in where he knew there was no chance
for him to get in. He was watching
for some one who could get in there
And Farmer Browns Boy knew by the
way Reddy's ears were set forward
and by the tenseness of his attitude
that he both heard and saw whoever
it was that he was watching for.
Reddy was patient. So was Farmer
Browns Boy. When things did hap
pen they happened quickly. Reddy
suddenly disappeared around the
corner OF the henhouse. Farmer
Browns Boy thought he heard a
squeal. Then Reddy reapppeared and
In his mouth was Rat, a big Rat
He hung limp, for he was dead.
Reddy had killed him.
Opposite the strawstack Reddy laid
the Rat down while he went over to
investigate some holes under the barn.
Farmer Browns Boy saw his chance
and took it. He slid down from the
top of that strawstack, landing with
thump. That thump so startled
Reddy that he sprang away from the
hole he was shifting at and took to
his heels before he saw who it was
that had 50 startled him. BY this time
it was too late to get that Rat; Farmer
Browns Boy already had it.
I'm sorry, Reddy," said Farmer
Browns Boy. IT you will come back
little later you may have your Rat.
Just now have use for it, Use that is
most important to you. This is evi-
dence, Reddy. This is positive evil
! dence that Neighbor Andrews will
have to admit.
He went to the farmhouse and
knocked Mr. Andrews came to the
door. Farmer Browns Boy held up
the Rat. Here's the evidence, sir,"
said he.
Evidence of what?" asked Mr.
Andrews.
Evidence that should clear Reddy
Fox in your mind" replied Farmer
Browns Boy. Then he told just what
he had witnessed.
We'll 60 out to the henhouse," said
Mr.. Andrews.
| So with lantern they went out tc
| the henhouse. They caught glimpse
of a Rat as it lodged down through a
freshly gnawed hole in the floor. On
the floor lay partly eaten chicken
There could be no possible doubt that
Rats were the killers. Nor could there
be any more doubt that Reddy Fox
had been hunting those Rats and had
nothing to do with the killing Of the
chickens. Mr.. Andrews grinned 4 bit
sheepishly.

REFORM FAVORED
IN MERIT SYSTEM
0rdWay, New Civil Service
Commissioner, Advocates
Changes.
BY the Associated Press.


Five minutes after taking the oath
Of Office yesterday as Republican men,
Der of the Civil Service Commission,
Samuel H. Ordway, jr., of New York
curled up on his Office divan, lighted q
pipe and committed himself to merit
system reform.
II am anxious to see a system de-
veloped here" he said between pipe
puffs, "in which all qualified persons,
regardless Of background or wealth,
shall have equal opportunities to COM
pete for entrance in the service, and
then, on the basis of ability, to COM
pete again for higher and higher
posts"
1t is mot inconceivable, he said,
that some day even cabinet members
may be drawn from civil service ranks.
The greatest weakness of the pres
ent system, he said, lies in the fact 1T
has no sufficiently broad competitive
promotion system"
The British method is superior in
some respects, he added, but not all.
Elevator operators, for example, should
be appointed on the basis of ability,
he observed, rather than for their
knowledge of algebra or rhetoric.
Il seriously doubt" he chuckled,
that a doctor of philosophy makes
the best elevator operator"
Generally speaking, he said, there
should be a real place for college
graduate in the civil service, although
college education is no guarantee of
fitness for office. 1t is true, however,
that individuals who avail themselves
or their opportunities in college should
be more useful to the public"
Ordway, a lanky man who looks like
a college undergraduate himself, was
born in New York City in 1900. Since
graduating from Harvard Law School
In 1924 he has been practicing law in
New York, meantime serving with the
National Civil Service Reform League.
