THE STORY IN THE SNOW

There are stories if you know How to read them in the snow. -Famier Brown's boy.

Farmer Brown's boy does know how to read the stories in the snow. He was reading one now. Yes. sir. he was reading a story now where most folks would have been nothing more than a line of footprints. ”Somethingjwrong here," said lie, talking to himself. "Yes, sir. there is something wrong here. There are not enough footprints. The Fox who had these print: was using only three legs. There are prints of but three feet and of course there There isn't any three-legged Fox living around so that means that whoever made these prints is hurt in one leg and cannot use it."

He stopped to study the footprints just ahead. "It is the print of the left third' foot that is missing. so that must he the leg that Lg hurt, I wonder what happened to it, and I wonder if it is Raddy or Mrs. Reddy. It is one or the other for there are no other Foxes around here at present."

He went back to the double trail where Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had been together and studied tile foot- prints. "It is Raddy." he decided. Reddy is in little bigger than Mrs.

Invariably. the club king was led, and although every East played the discouraging deuce, every wegi, f-fled to.cash a second club trick- a natural enough procedure. - Needless to say. all declarers i-.if- fed the second club. but then there was some variation!

At the edge of it the trail led to a snow covered hemlock tree.

Roddy. so of course his footprints are bigger. I couldn't be sure un- til I could see the prints of both together. I wonder what happened to the rascal. I wonder if he has been shot. He is traveling on three legs, holding that left hind leg up. Probably ii: is stiff. I hope he isn't badly hurt. I guess he isn't or he wouldn't be out hunting."

He turned then to follow Reddzfs trail. It led toward the Green For- est. At the edge of it the trail led to a snow covered little hemlock tree. Behind it was the imprint of Reddys body.

"You saw something and flatten- ed yourself behind this little tree. but so that you could peek around it. You lay here long enough to melt the snow just 9. little with the heart from your body." said Farmer Brown's boy. still talking to him- self. He often does this when alone. "Now I wonder what you saw."

He looked ahead. He saw where Raddy had made a short quick run and then leaped. He saw where Reddy had landed. It wasn't a good leap. He hadn't caught any one Farmer Brown's boy knew that. And he knew why. It was written right there in the snow.

"That sift leg bothered lilm. He can't more than half jump with-the use of only one hind 188. If I tried to jump from only one lei: I would only hop. It is much the same with him. If he catches anybody he will be just plain lucky. I wonder if it was a Bird or a Mouse he missed this time,” said he.

He went forward to where Red- dy had landed when he had jump- ed. The tops of many tall dead weeds were a littln above the snow All about were the dalntiest little iootprints weaving in and out among and under those scod toils. R. sort of fairy pattern left by slim little toes running this way SIN that way. Under the tops of those weeds the snow was sprinkled with tiny brown specks.

"Birds, 9. big flock feeding on

seeds from the weeds," said Fann- cr Brown's boy. "Poor Reddy! Hav- ing those birds fly up from almost under his nose must have made him feel much as 1 would feel if I should have a dinner snatched away just as I was about to eat it I wonder how badly that leg is hurt. I -hope not so badly that he will be crippled for life." He moved on, following Reddy's footprints. Presently. for just a. few steps there was an extra print. "Ha!" exclaimed Farmer Bro-.vi'.'s boy and smiled as he bent over to look at those extra prints more closely. They were not so clear as the others. This meant that Roddy had stepped lightly with the foot. "That leg isn't too badly hurt or he wQuldn't be trying to use it. im glad of that. But until he c."n Ilse it 1 fear he will go liiin8TY- 80 far he hasn't caught a thins," 53” Farmer Brown's boy.
