A prisoner one still may be Yet from all bonds be wholly free- -Old Mother Nature.

That doesn't sound as if Old Vlother Nature was talkius sense. How can one be I PI1!0nEr. and still be free? One of the children if Gray Fox was finding out. Yes sir, he was finding out that it -daily could be.

The half-grown young Fox,the nost venturesome of the three :hildren of Gray Fox and Mrs. Giay, had learned to climb He liad often climbed a little way HP in trees that had branches near the ground. Each time he climbed a little higher. This time he had climbed very high. Curiosity had led him to do it. He had seen a big nut very high in that tree. but hadn't known what it was. From the ground it had looked like a platform of sticks. He just had to find out about it.

Now that tree was quite easy to climb. The many branches were so near together that climbing was almost like going up a ladder. He didn't realize how high he was getting. When he reached the nest he climbed over the edge into it. it was a big nest, big enough for him to curl up in it and be com- fortable. That is what he did at first. for the climb had made him tired. it was a wonderful place to rest and take a sunbath.

&er awhile he put his head over the edge and looked down. What a long, long way off the ground was! How would he ever get back down there. He was a bold little Fox, but right now he became a frightened little Fox. Yes. sir, he did so. It was a kind of fear he had never felt before. He turned aroundvand looked over the opposite edge. !'he ground was just as far away from that side. In fact. wherever he looked over the edge the ground was just as far away. The more he looked the farther away it seemed. However was he going to get out of that nest and down to the ground a-

by himself when he had discov- ered that nest, and had climbed to it. Mother didn't know where he was. Father didn't know where he was, nor did his brother and sister. He who had felt so big when he was climbing up to that nest now felt very small indeed. and very helpless.

"I wish I never had learned to climb.” he whimpered. Of. course that was a very foolish wish. He looked up in the sky. High up was what looked like a brown speck sailing round and round. For I moment he watched it. then for- got all about it.

Strange as it may seem. coyotes frequently let other animals hunt for them. A coyote will take up position near a badger that is digging a hole to enlarge the entrance to a wood rat's burrow. These 'cummlng animals seem to know that rats seldom come out of the same hole they go in. so wall near the wood rat's back door while Mr. Badger digs under the front door. Then. when the rat, frightened by the badger's digg- ing. -runs out the back door. he lands in the jaws of the coyote. The badger having done all the digging goes without his supper.

In oldeif days only on rare occas- ions were knives supplied to guests. Each- visitor brought along his own knife stuck in the top of his boat. Whenever large portions of food were offered in him he had not to null out his knife and cut iin the meal.

Never before had the young Fox seen a prishner. but he was now. He was just as much a prisoner as if he had been locked up some- wlri-e. or had been tied up. He was a prisoner of fear. He didn't dare try to climb over the edge of that nest and down that tree. No, sir, he didn't dare climb down. He was afraid he would fall.

The young Fox began to whim- per. He became more and more un- easy. He would lie down.for a moment or two, then get up and look over the edge again. He no longer enjoyed the warm sun- shine. He no longer enjoyed look- ing off in the distance as he had when he had climbed into the nest. He no longer wondered how that nest happened to be up there in that tree. He could think of but one thing, and that one thing was how far my the around was. PIN-M Nil -lemon PNFW '1! come, to help him. But he knew that Mother Fox didn't hiow where he was.
