Then he began to move slowly and carefully toward a certain patch of brown weed stalks not tar from that lone tree. Now all ilie time, there was a hunter in that lone tree. Ready had looked right at him without seeing him. This was because ile hadn't moved so much as a leather. If he had Raddy would have seen him. He was Rough- leg. one oi the big members of the Havrk family. l-ie had come down from farther north as he sometimes does in winter when food up there becomes too scarce. He wore an almost black coat and sat perfectly still. This was why Raddy didn't see him. Mice are his favorite food in winter. S0 Mice are quite as important to him as Roddy Fox. Now, though Roddy didn't see Roughleg, the latter saw Roddy. If he hadn't it would have been because of something very wrong with his eyes, for Reddy was not only big but was moving. Any one or any thing that moves is quickly S9611. “Why cant that.

Over in the patch of Wvccds I saw one shake Just now. 1t wasn't shaken by a Merry Little Breeze, for there isn't one around. Some one down under the snow shook it. It must have been a Mouse. He may climb up that weed. But he won't if that pesky fox keeps on iltis way. I need that Mouse. I havn't had a bite since yesterday. ‘These are hard times and that Fox poking about isn't going to make them any easier. Hal That stalk ls shaking again!" Now at that very instant some one else said “I-la!" It was Roddy Fox. He said it under his breath. Those keen eyes of his also had seen that weed shake. Like Rough- leg he was sure that a Mouse was shaking it. He, too. liad had no- thing to eat. since the day before. and he needed a Mouse. In fact, he needed several Mice, but

would be greatful for one. He moved carefully toward that shak- mg weed. He stopped instantly when Danny Meadow Mouse poked his head up out of the snow.
