EDDY FOX was making | I t straight for that burrow in which Johnny Chuck was sure that Jimmy Skunk and two of his grown sons were at that very moment sleeping. Of course, Reddy didn't know they were there. “He couldn’t,” thought Johnny. “or he wouldn’t be making straight for that hole. I wonder if I ought to warn him. It isn’t any of my business, anyway. Reddy is out of luck. He certainly is out of luck. He looks badly and he runs as if he is about ready to drop. I haven't any love for Reddy Fox. Goodness knows, he has worried me enough! Still, I would hate to see that Dog catch him. If only Jimmy and those other Skunks were not in that hole, Reddy could go in there and be safe. As it is—" Johnny stopped and gasped. Reddy had reached that hole. He had hesi- tated an instant. Then he had en- tered. Yes, sir, he had gone down in- side that burrow where those Skunks were. Johnny held his breath and waited. He expected to see Reddy come bolting out of there in & hurry. Reddy did nothing of the kind. The that was chasing Reddy came up aquuhoumdthnwmoh for Reddy to come out. To do so would mean to be killed. “But,” thought Johnny, “I don’t know but I would rather be killed by that Dog than be smothered and choked to death by that dreadful soent of Jimmy Skunk's.” He kept sniffing and sniffing, but as yet no trace of that scent reached him. “That is queer,” thought Johnny. “That certainly is queer. Reddy Fox and Jimmy Skunk leave each other alone, but I know and Jimmy knows, that if Reddy ever has guests remaining afterward to play bridge.

Mrs. Gott- wald has been much entertained while visiting here and is well known in Washington, where she lived prior to her marriage. Stories in there and none had come out. Yet Reddy had hesitated only an instant. It was absolutely the only refuge open to him in the condition he was in. To try to fight that Dog, even had he been feeling at his best, and he was feeling very far from that, would be useless. That Dog was too big and strong. It would be better to face that dreadful scent of Jimmy Skunk’s. Reddy didn’t go all the way down Z3 e : LA 7t 8 ; N " H .

There was noth- ing else for me to do. I'm sorry to disturb you. I wouldn’t have done it for the world, but I just couldn’t help it.

As long as you are in here you may stay, only don’t come any farther down.” “I won’t,” promised Reddy, hastily. “Indeeq, I don’t want to.” “And when that Dog leaves you do the same thing.” continued Jimmy. “1 will.

ERE is another motherly knight whose wife makes him play nurse maid to their ~ children. Although these strange-looking crea- tures look like some mythological animal, they are true fishes and not as scarce as you might think. In fact, there are many places where you can see them moving about among the water plants in such a dignified manner that your attention is gained at once. The sea horses have a world-wide distribution. They are most plentiful on the Atlantic coast in September. You may find them clinging by their tails to a fisherman’s net. Such a sedate-looking animal, looking you fearlessly in the eye, is enough for you. It is not at all unusual to pick up the dead ones cast up by the tide. They make a fine addition to your collection. Though the sea horse is clad in armor, there are many hungry foes ready to crunch the body with their cruel teeth. Through experience, the sea horse has learned to hide, and his color pattern blends well with his surroundings. And it is said, by an authority, he has an odor that is most offensive to some of his ene- mies. His tail fin, his most valuable ald in getting about, is a prehensile tall and is used much like the monkey’s, by fastening to objects from which he swings back and forth. It the little horse wishes to move about he moves with seemingly little effort. The vibrations are too rapid for our eyes to see. The large eyes watch everything thst is going on in his little meadow, and, what is more unusual, one eye is cocked in one direction and the other in the op- posite one. He sees what we cannot nd gravitates toward the object of his_interest.

The marine stallion prances before the female, tossing his head in true horse fashion, and making a snapping noise by moving his lower jaw. Later, the little horse finds that he has a brood-pouch. His spouse meets him and lays her eggs in the pouch. Then she swims away, leaving him shoulder all the responsibility. When the eggs are ready to hatch the pouch splits slightly and baby sea colts begin to slip out. It is amazing how many there are. Some- times a great number of them are catapulted from the basket at one e. The tiny things twist their thread- size tails about & stem or each other in order to have an anchor. Three hundred is about the number of offspring the father tries his best to guard The sense of responsibility is slight after the little sea colts are in the water. The babies feed on the algae about them and those that survive have learned to evade enemies that are about them by the score. There are some fascinating legends about these creatures you will enjoy reading. Our hippocampus reminds us of the knights used on the chess-board—and no doubt served as s model.

A, has the indorsement of | Commissioner Hazen, Superintendent | of Schools Ballou, Police Superin- tendent Brown, Health Officer Ruh- land, Parks Director Finnan and other officials.
