Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy had spent the day much as they had the day be- fore. They had slept in a snug hiding place near the farm where the turkeys were. From time to time between naps they had spied on those turkeys. By the middle of the afternoon they had slept all they wanted to. Then they crept to the edge of the woods and pre- | pared to watch those turkeys until they should go to roost, or until they should have a chance to catch one. This time the turkeys did not come anywhere near where the foxes were hiding. They kept away from the woods. They did “spend considerable time down in the open meadow, however. “If only they would stay down there until after dark,” sighed Reddy. “If only they wowd,” sighed Mrs. Reddy in her turn. But there was no chance of that and both Reddy and Mrs. Reddy knew it. “Our only chance,” said Reddy, “will be to get one while they are going o roost in the apple tree. if that dog would go off somewhere we wouldn’t have to bother about him. I hope that this time you will be able to lead him away.” ‘lly hope s0,” replied Mrs. Reddy. “I did my best yesterday. It wasn't my fault.” Late in the afternoon the turkeys began to move up toward the apple tree where they were in the habit of reosting. Mrs. Reddy slipped away as soon as she saw the hound over in the barnyard. She wasted no time. She raced around the barn and right «- aeross in front of that dog before he realized wigat was happening. But as soon as he did realize that a Fox had been impudent enough to come right up there in the barnyard, he was ol her with a great baying. All the . Splendor. 6.

BURGESS. turkeys stood still with their heads| stretched up while they listened. That dog certainly did make a lot of noise. The farmer came to the barn door just in time to see Mrs. Reddy disappear- ;{m in the woods with the hound after er. “Good old dog!" muttered the farm- er. “That Fox must have been after a turkey. Well, there'll be nothing to fear from foxes tonight. It is a good thing I had the dog turned loose.” The farmer disappeared inside the barn and Reddy Fox stole swiftly for- ward to the hiding place nearest the tree the turkeys roosted in. The big gobbler had_already flown up in the tree when Reddy reached his hiding place. Another big bird spread her wings and flew up. And another. The fourth one never got the chance. Red- dy darted out from his hiding place and seized this turkey by the neck. There was a moment of two of strug- gling. Some feathers flew this way and that way and then Reddy started off with the prize he had wanted for so long. That turkey was heavy. It was heavier than Reddy had realized it would be. He knew he couldn't carry it a very great distance. He was thank- ful that Mrs. Reddy had led that dog away. He was very thankful. Meanwhile the other turkeys were gobbling with fright and the farmer came out of the barn to see what it was all about. He walked over to the tree where the turkeys roosted and right away he saw the feathers on the ground. He looked hastily in all directions. He couldn’t see far be- cause it was already dusk, and he looked mostly in the wrong direction, which was a good thing for Reddy. You see, Reddy was already finding out that he had got more than he had bargained for. That turkey would have to be left somewhere to be eaten later. | It would have to be hidden near at | hand.
