ez 1 remempe R W FRYT TIME WE EVER CAME TAIS WAY - ALL SWAMP IN HERE AN Sudden Change of Mind. Tt is doubtful if any one changes his mind more often than does Raddy Fox. He changes his mind to sut the condi- tions of the moment. He is very clever at changing his mind. The result is, you can never be at all sure as to just | p, what Reddy Fox will or will not do. It was getting along toward Spring and Reddy Fox was glad of it. He was tired of Winter. Winter is always a hard time with Reddy. It is a time when one needs to have plenty of food, for food makes energy and warmth and in Winter one needs much of both. Yet at this season food is difficult to get. Reddy has to spend much of his time hunting for enough food to keep him alive. But hard as the Winter is thers is a time between Winter and real Spring which is in some ways the hardest time of all. Most of the Winter food supply has been eaten and the Spring supply has not yet appeared. 8o when Spring once shows signs of com- ing Reddy is in a hurry to have it arrive. It happened that Reddy had bsen over to the pond of Paddy the Beaver, deep in the Green Forest. On his way back he just happened to pass near the tree which Blacky the Crow had occupied -the year before as a home. He and Mrs. Blacky had built a nest there. Reddy happened to think of that | the and decided that he would go along that way and see if Blacky happened to be about. It might be that Blacky was going to use that nest again. You see, Reddy has often learned from Blacky where a meal could be ob- tained without running too much risk. Blacky’s sharp eyes miss very little that comes within their range. So Reddy trotted along thinking of nothing in_particular bevond the fact that he wished he knew where he could get a meal. Suddenly, without warning, Reddy was struck a sharp blow ANSWERS TO CROSSWORD PUZZLES IN SUNDAY MAEAZINE Across. 1. One who is economical. $. A step. 11.

There was no imaginatioh about it. ‘That blow had hurt. The place where e was tsruck still hurt. Reddy glared about. Then he heard a certain familiar sound. He looked up. There, glaring down at him were two pairs of great yellow eyes. They belonged to Hooty the Great Horned Owl and to Mrs. Hooty. ‘The two big birds snapped their bills angrily. That was the famillar sound Reddy heard. Reddy glared up at them as angrily as they glared down at him. “What do you mean .by striking me like that?” he demanded. “We mean that we don't want you around here,” hissed Mrs. Hooty. “This is our hunting gro We don't allow others to hunt here. “Who is hunting?” demanded Reddv. “I was simply trotting along about my own_business.” , suppose you keep right on ting along about your own busi- Tetorted Hooty. do as I please,” replied Reddy deflant! “You won't make me go if I don’t want to." Now, this was mere boasting and Reddy knew it. He knew that Hooty Owl knew it too. Reddy had no desire to be struck again, or to have his coat torn by those great claws of So_he merely looked up at y and Mrs. Hooty and snarl Then he started to trot alon ce more. Of course, he trotted along in the direction he had been going. How- ever, he took but a few steps before down came Mrs. Hooty, and Reddy dodged barely in time to avoid being hit again.
