EDDY FOX and Old Man Coyote are not what you would call good friends. You see, they are too much alike in their ways. This makes them rivals to a large extent, and rivals among the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows sel- dom are very friendly. Old Man Coyote, being the bigger of the two, is avoided by Reddy, who is smart enough to know the foolishness and uselessness of fighting one who is more than a match for him. Reddy felt that Old Man Coyote was an interloper and had no right to be there, where Reddy had lived all his life. You see. Old Man Coyote had appeared suddenly one day a long time ago. He had escaped from a park where he had been a prisoner, and after traveling a long distance had decided to settle here Reddy had been out hunting all night. Now, at break of day, he was over near the pond of Paddy the Beaver. It was time to be starting for home, and he was just about to “GOOD MORNING,” SAID REDDY, PRETENDING TO BE POLITE. do so when his keen ears picked up a slight rustle of leaves. You and I wouldn't have heard that rustle at, | all. Some one was coming down the hill toward the pond. Reddy ducked down behind some brush and waited. Presently there limped into sight a | sorry figure. Reddy stared. He could | hardly believe his eyes, Could that be Old Man Coyote. It was. It was, beyond a doubt. He was limping on three legs. His coat was torn in several places and one.eye was so swollen that it was nearly closed. What could have hap- pened to him? Reddy stepped out in plain sight and grinned. Of course, that wasn't a nice thing to do—to grin at another’s misfortune. “Good morning,” said Reddy, pre- tending to be polite. “It promises to be a nice day.” Old Man Coyote said nothing, but, reaching the water's edge, began to lap eagerly. He was very, very thirsty. He drank and drank and drank. “I hope you are feeling fine,” said Reddy, which was a most unkind thing to say. N Old Man Coyote merely lifted his upper lip so as to show some long, strong teeth, and Reddy drew back a little. “You seem to have had an accident,” Reddy ventured. “Do I? Look out that you don't have one just like it,” snarled Old Man Coyote and limped away in the direction of his home. Reddy watched him out of sight and all the time Reddy was wonder- ing what could have happened to Old Man Coyote. “If he had been in a fight with Buster Bear he couldn't look much worse,” thought Reddy. “But Old Man Coyote is too smart to get in trouble with Buster Bear. He may have had trouble with Yowler the Bobcat, but I doubt it. He and Yowler have too much re- spect for each other to risk a fight that can be avoided. Now I think of it, those tears in his coat didn't look like the work of claws. I wonder where he came from and what really I | TRANCE | | STYMIE Letter-Out and the hill I way in the early morning.

You see, he had become curious, and nothing is more persistent than curiosity, and nothing grows faster. So instead of starting for home, as he had intended, Reddy went quite the opposite way, In short, he be- gan to back-track Old Man Coyote. He found two or three places where Old ‘Man Coyote had stopped to rest and lick his wounds. At last he came to & brush-grown old road, and there, coming toward him around a bend in the road, was Mrs. Light- foot the Deer. She saw him at the same instant and, without the slight- est hesitation, dashed straight for him. Reddy slipped into the brush and away. Behind him he could hear Mrs. Lightfoot stamping and blowing with rage. A great light broke over him. “So that's it!” he exclaimed ungler his breath. “She has babies and Old Man Coyote tried to get them. Well, I would like one of them myself, but not enough to take a chance with Mrs. Lightfoot.” He trotted swiftly back teward home. (Copyright, 1037.) .. LIGTEN, MR.
