OLD MAN COYOTE FINDS OUT HIS MISTAKE There's none so smart but soon or late,

Helll make a serious mistake.

That is the way he looked at Lightfoot. as so many dinners, not as a person at .all. Nearer and nearer and nearer he crept, He would spring on Light- foot and get him by the throat.

He wasn't quick enough. Lightfoot had lowered his head just as he would have done had he had those wonderful antlers. He didn't hurt Old Man Coyote. but he did pre- vent him from reaching his throat.
