Fortunate ls he whose ears Can sift the truth from What he hears, —Reddy fox.

The black ears of Reddy Fox can do just that. No one knows better than does he that only the foolish and stupid believe all they hear. He knows. too, that it is equally foolish not to’ listen care fully at all times. for important truths may be hidden in seemingly foolish noises. So

those pointed

carefully so every sound that may reach them. _

This morning Raddy was on his way home frcm an all-night hunt These were hard times, for in winter he must depend largely on Mice for his food, and snow gives Mice protection while often mak- ing traveling difficult for four- footed hunters like Reddy. He was still far from the Old Pasture‘ when he heard in tho distance the harsh caw of a Cro'w. It was a familiar sound, There were few mornings that he didn't. hear a Crow somewhere. He stopped to listen. H9 always does. He has learned many things, often things m his advantage, by listening to the sawing of the crow folk. Us- ually it is a lot of noise in which is nothing of interest to him and he goes on about his business. This time there was a note in that harsh voice that caused him to listen closely. It was a note of excitement,

"That follow has found some- thing und is railing his friends in join him." thought Roddy, and continued to listen.

In a mcsnent he heard another Crow answer. Then from different

directions other Crows answered. He knew from the sounds that those Crows were flying to join the one who had been calling themf Ho stood still waiting, an expect- ant look on his sharp face,

"When they get together I'll soon know whether or not there is something worth going over to look into." thought he. "1 am too‘ tired to go over there for nothing But if those fellows have some- thing to eat over there I want to know it. It probably is as good for me as for them. These days I can't afford to pass up a chance for a. meal. I hope that is what it is." So ha stood listening until by the distant sound-s he knew that the other Crows had joined the one who had called them, lie‘ cocked his head to one side. He grinned as he listened. There was a shrewd look in his eyes. All those Crows were talking at once. and there its; excitement in every one of those harsh voices. There was something more than excitement

—an anxious note. Reddy detected’ it at once. l “Scmethlng has happened over there, something that worries them as much as it excites them. They sound the way I have heard them when one of them was in trouble. That is one thing I like about Blacky and his friends. Let one of them get in real trouble all his friends go to try to help him, I don't know what trouble a \Cl"0w could get into these days [unless he should be caught by lsome one. It isn't that this time " for there is no anger in that caw- ‘fng as there would be if there was ' an enemy there. So it isn't that
