By Thornton ONE GRIN TOO MANY A grin you think is to see, May not be what it seems to be. -Old Mother Nature. Ragged-Ear, the young Rabbit who had come to the Old Pasture and found there a place much to his liking, was trying to make up his mind. There are times when making up nne's mind is the most difficult thing one can do. Ragged- Ear had had P visitor. a handsome and very pleasant visitor. He had the smoothest tongue that Ragged- Ear ever had listened to. He wore a red coat. a white waistcoat, and black stockings. His face was sharp. but he tried very hard to have a pleasant look. It was Raddy Fox. Raddy eat just outside a. tangle of vines and brlara and brambles under which the young Rabbit had his form. This is the place where he rests and sleeps. It really was his new home. l-tagged-Ear could get into it easily by little paths W. Burgess Ragged-Ear all the nice places in the Old Pasture. and Ragged-Ear had almost made Ulp his mind to go with him. But something made him just a little messy. and he had excused himself Just then, saying that he was tired. That was true, for he had been wandering around quite a bit. Of course, he wouldn't. have said it it it hadn't been true. So, Reddy had grinned, despite his disappointment, and proposed that they go the next morning. After Roddy had left along came Sammy Jay. Sammy warned Ragged-Ear not to trust Reddy Fox. so the young Rabbit was in what is called "a state of mind." He didn't know whether to believe this pleasant-spoken neighbor in the red coat, or his feathered visitor in the handsome blue and white coat. He was still trying to make up his mind when he fell asleep. He dreamed. Yes. sir, he dreamed. You never would guess what he saw in his dreams. It was a mouthful of sharp, big teeth - that he had cut: through the brambles. They were just big enough for him to use comfortably. but Reddv couldn't possibly follnix him in there without getting lxs lovely red coat tom and his rte scratched. so he eat just outside, pretend- the teeth that Roddy Fox always shows when he grins. Ragged-Ear awoke at daybreak. He remembered the teeth he had dreamed about. He was just getting ready to slip over to a. certain patch of sweet clover when he caught a glimpse of something red lng to be a friendly neighbor who wanted to do the newcomer a good, turn. That is one or the things that good neighbors always do for moving along one of the winding old cowpaths among the bushes of the old Pasture. Ragged-Ear wisely decided he would wait for that sweet clover. He knew that that "Good morning." replied the young Rabbit. "I am feeling fine." .n........m..m.mm.?..m enough, in a couple of minutes, Redd,-fa sharp face appeared around I bush close at hand.
