The most important things may be. -Reddy Fox.

Long ago R4-ddy Fox learned the importance of little things and how foolish it is to pay atten- tion to a thing because at first glance it seems unimportant. l-is-eding little things, the move- ment of a blade of grass when other blades were still, a tiny that game might be difficult to reach in the right denomina- tzon, and hard to make if reached: and he ftirther decided that it name was in the cards ior his side. the punishment. of even a

sound that only quick cars could catch. the unusual action of some- one with whose way he is familiar. has made Reddy' one of the smartest. it not the smartest or all the Green Meadow and Green Forest folk.

Looking from the Old Pasture across the Green Meadows to the distant garden of Farmer Brown he had seen Farmer Brown's boy digging in a corner. Now it was nothing unusual to see some one digging especially at this season of the year. At first Roddy thought nothing of it. But when from time to time he looked that way and noticed that Farmer Brown's Boy was still digging in the same place he began to wonder.

"He must be digging a hole." thought. Raddy. "I wonder why. What does he want a hole tor? I must have a look around over there and find out what is going on."

Of course Reddy wouldn't go there while Farmer Brown's boy was at work there. It was early the next morning but broad diryiight

thought of that hole. He wottl have to go out of his way some to visit it and he was tired. should he go over there now or wait until he started out hunting again in the evening?

He stood still hesitating. trying to make up his mind. He saw mucky the Crow leave the Green Forest. He was flying rather low toward Farmer Brownfs dooryard. His tongue was still. Raddy chuck- led. "Going to see if there are any scraps of food over there. I could- teli him he won't find a thing. I was over there last evening."

Blacky reached the corner of the garden where that hole was. He had to cross the garden to get to the dooryard. He checked his flight. and began to circle above that cor- ner and the early morning still- ness was broken by his harsh voice "Caw. caw. caw. caw." he called. I-le sounded a bit excited. He flew down to a fence post. Leaning over and looking down. he continued to caw. He sounded as it he was Jeer- ing at someone. A sly grin crept over Reddy's face as he listened.

"That settles it,." he said to him- self .”I'll have a look in that hole. Blacky sees something or someone in that hole or my name isn't Red- dy Fox."

Blacky did see someone. It was
