He had heard Reddy Fox bark and he had realized that Reddy must be very near. But, though he had looked and looked, he hadn’t been able to see Reddy. This didn’t worry him much. He felt quite safe in that bramble tangle and he felt too miserable to think of much but “For myself, I think Il take a nap.|his own feelings. Reddy crept back a I'm tired. Then, too, I've had a good dinner of mice, and a good dinner al- ‘ways makes one feel sleepy.” So Mrs. Reddy lay down on the door- step for a nap.

At first she wasn’t sure that it was not a part of the dream. But in a moment shs heard it in—a “Yap-yap” on the far of the Old “That's Reddy,” thought Mrs. Reddy. “He is bnrkh? for me. He has found something and he wants help.” She barked once in and then started off following the scent Reddy had left behind him. She knew that this would lead her straight to him. Sure enough, it did. She presently dis- little way and Mrs. Reddy joined him. “What is the matter with Peter Rab- bit?” she inquired. “I think he was hurt by a shot from a terrible gun,” replied Reddy. “This is our chance to get him. I have been watching him for a long time. I don't think he can use one leg. On three legs he will have no chance at all. Now, here is my plan. I will drive him out of that bramble tangle and you will be hidden on the other side, where you can catch him as soon as he comes into the open.” “How are you going to drive him out?” asked Mrs. Reddy. “I'm Toing to crawl into that bram- ble tangle,” replied Reddy. “You'll get scratc] d_your coat will be torn,” said Mrs. dy. Reddy grinned.” “A Rabbit dinner will be worth it. Now, my dear, you run along and hide.” So Mrs. Reddy noiselessly made her way around to the other side of the bramble tangle and hid. S that Peter hadn’t seen her. Reddy got to his feet and without trying to keep out of sight walked over to the bramble tangle. Peter was once more half doz- ing. Reddy barked sharply. Peter saw him then. “I'm going to get you this time!” snarled Reddy Fox, and began to force his way into the bramble tangle. By this time Peter was very wide awake, indeed. For a moment he for- sharp | got his sore leg, but when he took a step with it he was reminded right away of what had happened. He looked out on the bramble tangle on the side opposite to the one from which Reddy was coming. A little way off was an- other bramble tangle. A cowpath led right over past it. He.could see that bramble tangle very plainly. But what he couldn’t see was Mrs. Reddy hiding close to_that path.
