Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

You'll find in life as sure as fate
That fear most always leads to hate.
You'll seldom find love where fear
/ is. Instead you'll almost always find
hate. That was the case in the
Green Forest when Terror the Cos
hawk came down from the Far
North. There was not one of the
little people in feathers and fur
smaller than Reddy Fox who did not
fear Terror, and one and all hated
him as they hated few others. Even
Jimmy Skunk feared Terror, for he
knew that if Terror should find him
when no other food was to be found
| he would not hesitate to kill him.
But it was not only those who
feared Terror who hated him. There
were others too big to fear him who
nevertheless hated him, and one of
these was Reddy Fox. Reddy hated
him because he interfered with
Reddy's hunting. You see, Terror
likes the very same things Reddy
| does.
Up to the time of Terror's arrival
from the Far North Reddy had had
fairly good hunting. That is to say,
he had managed to get enough to
eat, though he seldom had full
stomach.
For several days he had not been
over to the Green Forest, but had
done all his hunting in the Old
Pasture and on the Green Meadows.
Then one morning he did go over
to the Green Forest, and as he trot-
ted along he felt sure that he would
be able to get good breakfast.
Il haven't hunted here for several
days" thought Reddy, ''and SO
Whitefoot the Woodmouse and
Strutter the Grouse and his family
have had nothing to worry them
and are likely to be little bit
careless. I can think of nothing
that would taste better than a plump
grouse" So, with pleasant thoughts
of good breakfast, Reddy entered
the Green Forest and at once began
to hunt as no one knows better how
to do than Reddy Fox. But though
he hunted and hunted with all the
cleverness and skill which ne pos
Sesses he found not so much as
trace of any one who would furnish
him with a breakfast. The Green
Forest seemed to be deserted. 1t
was as if no one at all was living
there.
This is queer" thought Reddy as
he sat down to rest for a few min
utes. Il don't understand it at all
I haven't even heard Sammy Jay
this morning and that is very I'M
usual"
AS he sat there wondering what it
could mean, big bird shot past him
and lighted on a dead tree not far
away. One glance was enough for
Reddy to recognize Terror the Cos
hawk He drew his lips back in an
| ugly snarl and glared up at Terror.
If hate could kill, Terror would have
dropped dead that very instant. You
see. Reddy understood at once why
there were no signs of those he
sought. He knew they were in hid
ing. He knew that fear reigned in
the Green Forest because of Terror
the Goshawk, and that there was no
chance for breakfast there that
morning.
