FEELING WEARY?

By REDDY FOX ISN'T FOOLED

Those in independence schooled By simple tricks are seldom fooled. -Reddy Fox.

Of all the Green Forest and Green Meadow folk there is none smarter than Reddy Fox. It isn”t often that Reddy is fooled. It does happen sometimes, ior there is no one in all the Great World who isn't fooled sometimes. But it takes a very, very clever trick to loot Roddy.

Reddy had left the Old Pasture, and gone over to the Green For- est. Deep snow covered everything; and during the night Jack Frost had covered this with an icy crust so strong that Reddy could run about on it without breaking through, or even cracking it. These were hard times for Retldy and Mrs. Reddy. all the Fox folk and many others. While the deep snow was soft they couldn't get about in it; they just iloundered. So. they couldn't do any hunting. but had to wait as pmiently as possible while they grew hungrier, and hungrier. .So now that Reddy could get about

over in the Green Forest where Thunderer the Grouse. Mrs. Grouse

and their flock often could be found. He was heading straight for there. There could be no bet- ter dinner than what one or those big birds would make. But there were no harder birds to cawh than those Grouse. Long ago. he had given up all hope of catching rhundtrer, or Mrs. Grouse. They were wise with the wisdom of age and long experience, and they knew how to take care of themselves. But the young Grouse, now fully as big as their parents. lack the wisdom of experience. This was their first winter. and they still

,had much to learn.

As Reddy drew near the place where he hoped the Grouse would be, he moved very cautiously, keep- ing under cover 'of overhanging boughs as much as possible. Pres- ently, ashe got closer, he saw Mm. Grouse fly down from a hemlock tree. she was joined by Thunderer and two others. Against the white snow the four big Birds looked even blilizer than they were. Right then Reddy had eyes for no one and nothing else. He didn't see

on the icy csust. he was making the most 0! it. Reddy knew of a. certain place

passing the Blackwood. It would have come as a shock to North when South responded to tour no- trump with five diamonds, show- ing only one are. but that would have been considerably less pain- ful than landing at a slam, off two aces.

The foregoing, however, does not

to cover, trying to get near enough to catch one of those Grouse. Jumper saw him. and thumped a danger signaL without waiting to see what the danger was the four Grouse flew up.tn a tree. Roddy flattened himselt under a Dough, and waited. Jumper had taken to hial heels after thumping his sig- ns.

At long last. Mrs. Grouse flew down on the snow again. she began peeking at the crust. It looked very much' as if she was picking up something to eat. She wasn't. Roddy could see that she wasn't. He tried to creep a little nearer. but she saw him. she started to run away. and one wing was dragging as it it were hurt. Recldy grinned. That trick didn't fool him. But, Why was she doing it? -This was somg. thing to be found out. He trotted strllsht over to where she had been pecking.
