Strain on the Family Tie.—By Gaar Williams [ i am e Famity T —By Guse Crafty Reddy Fox. Reddy Fox had discovered Peter Rab- bit in a bramble tangle in the Qld Pas- ture and he knew that Peter had not discovered him. Those sharp eyes of Reddy's told him the instant he looked at Peter that something was wrong with him. Remembering the bamg the terrible gun which he had hgard some time before, Reddy suspected that Peter had been hurt by that terrible gun. “He looks sick,” thought Reddy. “Yes, sir, he looks sick. I guess at last my chance has come to catch Peter Rabbit. He has been smart enough to keep away from my teeth for a long time, but it *] WISH SHADOW THE WEASEL ‘WOULD COME ALONG,” THOUGHT REDDY. looks as if miuehmu has come now, If Peter was hit by that terrible gun, he isn't likely to be quite himself for some time, even though he is not badly hurt. I'll just make myself comfort~ able and watch.” 8o Reddy lay down behind a thick bush, through which he w“E peek and keep an eye on Peter Rabbit, For a lc.:n time Peter didn’t move.

He has patience without end. 3 there is something worth waiting for, Ready can wait a very lun¥| time. He felt that there was something worth waiting for now and so he settled him- self for a long watchful wait. Nothing happened. Peter had settled down again and looked to be half asleep. But Reddy was smart enough to know that it was because he felt so miserable that Peter seemed to be half asleep. He had seen Peter’s eyes when they did open and those eyes were dull. Reddy knew that had Peter been himself those eyes would have been bright. Now, there was one thing that Reddy didn’t forget, He was too crafty to for- et it. This was that a Merry Little reeze idly wandering about might carry his scent to Peter Rabbit and thus give Peter warning. So, when Reddy noticed that the wind was changing and was gradually getting around back of him, so that it would blow from him to Peter, Reddy care- fully worked his way around to the other side of that bramble tangle and once more settled himself to watch and wait, “That bramble tangle is a small one.” thought Reddy. “I don't think there is much for Peter to eat in there When he gets hungry—and he will get hungry even though he is Yart—he'll leave ‘that bramble tangle o look for GRAY Caught in the Act. Muf! and J&f F something to eat somewhere else. I hope_he'll get hungry soor. For my- gelf, I'm getting hungrier every minute, Just looking at Peter makes me hungry. Yes, sir, it does so!” But time went on and Peter appar- ently didn't become hungry. He showed no signs of moving. Feddy began to wonder if he couldn't raske him move somehow. “I wish Shadow the Weasel would come along.” thought Reddy. “Shadow eould slip into that bramble tangle with the greatest ease and drive Peter oyt. I that hunter would come back this way. He might drive Peter out. I suppose I could crawl in a little way myself and frighten Peter out, But if I did that, by the time I could get out again, Peter would be in another bramble tangle and I would be no better off than before. I believe I'll call Mrs. Reddy. Between us we probably can get Peter. I should have thought of that before, I do hope she hasn’t gone off to the Green Forest hunting, or down on the Green Meadows where she cannot hear me. That's what I'll do, Il call Mrs. Reddy. Then Il erawl in and drive Peter out for her to catch.” (Copyright. 1920.) KENKLING Windy Doesn’t Consider . A ball of thread. . Convert to one's service. . Bearing. . Came back into sight.
