He put a Mouse down where the young Fox could pick it. up and m. it. He solved it do" hurriedly, for he was iveak with hunger. He didn't tell the young Fox that this was the only Mouse he had caught that night. and how very hungry he hlmseli was. Later that night Roddy brought another Mouse. Two Mice were not much but they were enough to keep the young Fox alive. Be- cause oi them he somehow didn't ieel quite so helpless, though of course he was. e giving him the largest share. He went hungry himself to do this. He couldn't forget that ‘trapped young Fox. No, sir, he couldn't. Sharing iood with him was the least he could do. Indeed. it was all he could do. Anyway this was all he could think oi that he could do. Roddy had been hungry before he began sharing his iood. It had been some time since he had had a lull meal. Now he was getting still less. He hunted and hunted, but caught no one bigger than a Mouse. and a Mouse alone wasn't a meal; it was only a bite. And somehow he could never manage to catch more than one Mouse at a time. Perhaps this is why he yielded to sudden temptation. He was hunting this morning over near Farmer Brown's, in back of the born. hoping to catch Rob- ber the Rat or one oi his tribe. He knew some oi.’ them were living in or under that barn. It he could catch a Rat that really would be something. But he had no luck. Neither Robber nor any oi his iol- lowers showed themselves. He heard certain sounds over in the henyard. He crept to the corner o! the barn nearest to the corner and Pfieped around it.

How plump some oi those Hens were! Reddy's mouth watered. Yes, sir, it did so. He couldn't help it. One, just one, oi those Hens would lie e. least ior his iriend in trouble and tor himself. Because he and Mrs. Roddy liyed in the Old Pasture. which was not is: away, they had kept away irom Farmer Brown's henyard. Some- times when very hungry they visited distant henards. but Far- mer Brown's was too near. They are smart enough to avoid trouble near home. Farmer Brown's boy was leaving the henyard now. He was whis- tlinz es he went toward the house. He had leit the henyard gate open. No, it_ wasn't ‘carelessness. He sometimes let the Hens out in the dooryard ior a little while. Later he would drive them back and lock them up. Reddy heard the house door slam. A Hen walked out o! the yard. Three or tour iollowed. One oi them wandered over toward the corner oi the barn where Roddy crouched. Reddy quivered all over. Then temptation was too much for him. He leaped out, and before she .kne'w whet was happening he had that Hen and was oli with her. Perhaps he iargot that in the light snow that had iallen the night beiore his footprints were plain to see. Perhaps he didn't think at all.
