"Just as I thought" said he, dig
ging the sand out from around the
trap. Then carefully he tipped it
upside down, which caused the wick
ed looking jaws to snap together,
and then it was quite harmless.
Old Man Coyote promptly crawled
out and pulled the trap out after
him. One entrance to his home was
clear, anyway. He knew that be-
yond doubt Farmer Browns Boy
had set other traps about, so not
once did he put foot down until
his nose told him that it was quite
safe to. In a little while he knew
where every trap was. AT first he
was tempted to dig all of them out
just to show Farmer Browns Boy
how little he feared them. It was
just at that very minute that into
his crafty brain an idea came. He
left the traps alone and still grin
ming trotted away across the Green
Meadows.

81 Presidents

Although Roosevelt is officially
listed as the thirty-second Presi-
dent of the United States, only 81
men have actually held the office.
The discrepancy is explained by
the fact that Grover Cleveland is
down in American history as the
twenty-second and twenty-fourth
President-the only President who
served two non-successive terms,
Benjamin Harrison's term inter-
vening athfinder.

was out, and he actually had hard
work to believe his eyes. But he
had to believe them, for there was
no mistaking Old Man Coyote. And
there he was trotting off across the
Green Meadows just as if there was
no such thing in the world as a
trap. It was too much for or Mis-
tab Buzzard, and he flew away to his
special dead tree in the Green For
est to think it over and wonder how
Old Man Coyote ever succeeded in
getting out.
Now, if it had been anyone but
Old Man Coyote he would certainly
have been caught. Even Granny
Fox, smart as she is, probably would
have stepped into one of those traps
had she been in his place. But Old
Man Coyote is one of the smartest
who wear fur. He knows all about
traps and just how they are set.
When he heard Farmer Browns Boy
at work outside his house he guessed
right away what he was doing. He
heard him first at one Of the three
doorways, then at another, and final
ly at the third. Old Man Coyote
grinned.
Hes setting traps as sure as
meadow mice are good eating"
thought he. ''He thinks that because
he has put a trap in each doorway
can't get out without getting
caught. One of the first things my
mother taught me when I was lit
tie cub was the danger of traps and
how to avoid them. I am afraid
that someone is going to be dread
fully disappointed. believe I'll take
nap now and attend to those traps
later"
He yawned lazily and curled up
quite as if there was no such things
as traps.
Late that afternoon when he got
ready to go out Old Man Coyote
very carefully crawled up one of
his halls until he was almost to the
doorway. He could look out and
nowhere was a trap or a sign of
trap to be seen. Inch by inch
he crept forward, his keen nose
shifting every bit of the ground.
"Ah, I thought sol" exclaimed Old
Man Coyote at last and stopped.
Then very carefully he began to dig
down. Little by little he dug for
ward from this first little hole, all
the time taking the very greatest
care. By and by just what he ex-
pected happened. Something hard
and cold dropped down. It was
trap! Old Man Coyote grinned again.
