P e Reddy Fox long ago learned the value trifiles, or what :eem like trifles. t is one reason he is one of the smartest of all the people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. He knows that little things sometimes are more important than big things, and 80 he takes notice of every little thing. This habit has saved his life more than once and it has obtained for him man; a good meal. And he isn’t satisfied witl just noticing little things. No, sir, he n't satisfied with that. He tries to find out if they mean anything in par- ticular, and if they do, what it is. There was the time he discovered | some wet leaves in a private little pllh| of his own. There they were, no more | than a handful, just like the wet leaves | matted together along the edge of the Laughing Brook, only a few steps away, You or I wouldn't have noticed them, or if we had we wouldn't have given them a thought. It wasn't so with; Reddy Fox. He noticed those leaves lt} once and that they were wet. There were no other wet leaves, not even damp leaves, along that private little th of his. Reddy sat down and ked at them. ow what are those leaves doing here?” thought he. “How did they get here? They couldn’t have been blown here by the Merry Little Breezes, be- cause wet leaves are not blown about. ‘They don’t belong here, so what are they here for?" He cocked his head to one side and studied them, Then very carefully he walked around them, taking care to| keep outside that private little path, and all the time using his nose and his eyes, At first his nose told him noth- ing, but his eyes discovered a place where the soft earth had been dis- turbed. Cautiously he scraped away some of the loose earth. Then he grinned. He had uncovered part of a smal! chain. On this he found just a trace of the hated man-smell. He un- covered the rest of the chain and pulled i3 t ] éif’tff et ." ! REDDY SAT DOWN RIGHT BESIDE THAT OLD NEST, TO THINK THE MATTER OVER. out from under that handful of wet leaves a cruel steel trap. It had bee set right where he would be hkel{ step in it. He would have stepped in it if he hadn't noticed those wet leaves and then wondered how they happened to be there. They had awakened his suspicions. So it was that when he happened to be over on the Green Meadows, near the old nesting place of Whitetail the h Hawk, and took the opportunity for a look at the old nest, he at once. suspected that Whitetall and Mrs. ‘Whitetail had a nest somewhere else. ‘This old nest was in ruins. Nothing had been done to repair it. Yet it was high time for the Whitetails to have eggs if they expected to raise a family this season. Reddy sat down right beside that old nest to think the matter over. * have been doing, “They have kept coming over to this old nest just to make any one ‘watching them think their home is here as usual.

It hasn't entered the heads of their neighbors that they would build in the Old Pasture. Cer- tainly it never entered my head until this blessed minute. So that is just what they have done. I almost know it. Well, if they are up there they are nearer neighbors than they were be- fore. Andlt\‘-heylrenilupwme to find out just where they are. may think it none of my business, but when I think of a nestful of young Hawks right on the ground, I consider it very much of my business.” So Reddy began taking long sun baths on a certain flat roek from which he could look down across the Green Meadows and at the same time see part of the Old Pasture So, without ap- pearing to be watching al all, he did watch the Whitetails, confient that sooner or later he would see something that would lead him to that nest, (Copyright, 1931) To Remove Varnish.
