Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Hardly was old Granny Fox out
OF sight on her way to hunt for the
chicken she had left on the hill
when Unc' Billy Possum came stroll
ing along the Lone Little Path. He
was humming to himself and pick
ing his teeth, for he had just had
good breakfast. One of the Merry
Little Breezes spied him and hur-
ried to meet him and tell him about
how Reddy Fox had beer shot.
Unc' Billy listened and the grin
with which he greeted the Merry
Little Breeze grew into a broad
smile.
"Are yo' all sho' about that?" he
asked.
The Merry Little Breeze was sure.
Unc' Billy Possum stopped for .
few minutes and considered.
SERVES that no count Reddy Fox
right" chuckled Unc' Billy. HE
don spoil nah hunting at Farmer
Browns, he raised such a fuss
among the hens up there. Tisn't
safe to go there any mo! No, sab,
'tisnt safe, and 1t won't be safe for
right smart while. Did yo' say
that Granny Fox is homer"
The Merry Little Breeze hadn't
said anything about Granny Fox,
but now remembered that she had
gone up the hill.
"Ah believe All will just tote nah
sympathy over to Reddy Fox" said
Unc' Billy Possum, as he started in
the direction of where Reddy Fox
lived. He made sure that old
Granny Fox was not at home before
he showed himself.
Reddy Fox lay on his doorstep.
He was sick and sore and stiff.
Indeed, he was so stiff he couldn't
walk at all. And he was weak
weak and hungry, dreadfully hun
cry. When he heard footsteps he
thought old Granny Fox was bring
ing him the chicken after which
she had gone. He felt too i'll even
to turn his head.
did you get the chicken, Gran
ny?" he asked weakly. No one
answered. II say did you get the
chicken, Granny?" Reddys voice
sounded little sharp and cross as
he asked this time.
Still there was no reply, and
Reddy began to be little bit sus-
picious. He turned over and raised
his head to look, and instead Of old
Granny Fox there was Unc' Billy
Possum grinning at him.
"Smarty, Smarty is a thief!
Smarty. Smarty came to griefl
Tried to show of just for fun,
And ran too near a loaded gun"
"Yo' alls cert'nly has got Just
what yo' deserve, and Ah'm glad of
it! Ah'm glad of it, All say!" said
Unc' Billy Possum severely.
An angry light came into the
eyes Of Reddy Fox and made them
an ugly yellow for just a minute.
But he felt too badly to quarrel.
Unc' Billy Possum saw this. He
saw how Reddy was really suffering,
and down deep in his heart Unc'
Billy was truly sorry for him. But
he didn't let Reddy know it. No
indeed, he didn't let Reddy know it.
He just pretended to be tickled to
death to see Reddy Fox so helpless.
He didn't dare stay long for fear
Granny Fox would return. So after
saying few more things to make
Reddy feel uncomfortable, Unc'
Billy started off up the Lone Little
Path toward the Green Forest.
Too bad! Too bad!" he muttered
to himself. IF OIL Granny Fox
isn't smart enough to get Reddy
enough to eat Ah'll have to see what
we-alls can do. All cert'nly will"
