the Young Fox Didn’t Know.

The young For who had been forced
to live by himself had his first lesson
in independence. He had been out by
hiirself and caught his own food.
Very proud he felt. He had a’right
in feel proud. To be proud of in»
ritnendence is always right. There
a» no finer feeling in life than the
feeling of independence. How that
little Fox did wish his mother could
know what. he had done! There wasn't
a doubt in his mind that she had for-
gotten him that day. She brought

im no food and he was certain that
it was because she had forgotten him.
He would like to show her that he
could take care of himself even if she
did forgot him.

But there were some things that
little Fox didn't konw. Had he known
them he might have had an altogether
difl'erent feeling. It didn't enter his
head that he had been given a lesson
in the school of life, but he had. Yes,
sir. he had. The night before Mrs.
Roddy had said to Roddy. "It is high
time that that little scamp of ours
should learn-to take care of himself.
His brother and sisters have been out
hunting with us every day and have
lcnrne a great deal while he has had
to stay over at the old house because
of that dreadful Skunk smell which
none of us can stand. I am not go-
ing to tnke him any food for his
breakfast to-morrow. W6 will let
him think we have forgotten him.
Then we will find out if he really is
uhst a smart Fox should be We will
find out if he is smart enough to try
to be independent."

So that'is now it happened that the
young Fox had found no breakfast
that morning and finally had made u
his mind to' go” huntin‘g by himsel .
All tho, timethst he had been hunting
grasshoppers and Mice down on the
Green Meadows two “pairs of sharp
eyes had been w’n‘tchlng him. They
were the ”191.9: ,ReglfidyrFox and Mrs.
Roddy. his father and mother. Had
any danger appeared they would
romptiy have -gone to his rescue.
They saw him' catch that first big
Meadow Mouse. They; watched him
wisely “key behind a bush on the
edge of Hie»: l astute where he
could eat it fivithout danger of being
seen. They saw him catch two more
Mice and followed him as he carried
them home. They chuckled as they
saw how proud he was. And even as
he lay there on his doorstep gloath-
tag over the supper he would have

mother was peeping at him from be-
hind some bushes and chuckling in-
side. She was quite as proud of him
as he was of himself.

She Ion ed to go over to him and
tell him t at she was proud of him.
but she didn't. No. on. she didn't.
She didn‘t go near him. She kept
out of sight. You see. she wanted
him to continue to feel inde endent.
She wanted him to feel that e could
stand on his own feet. as the saying
is. She knew what he must he think-
ing of her, but this didn't matter.
That little Fox was learning one of
the greatest lessons in life and she
didn't intend to s oil it. ’The time
would come soon w on he would have
to go out into the Great World and
take care of himself with no one
to help him. Mrs. Roddy was pre-
paring him for this.

All this the little Fox didn‘t know.
He was more than ever sure that his
father and mother had forgotten him.
And from feeling bad he be an to
feel a little an ry. He woul show
them that he d dn’t need them. He
would show them that he could get
along without them, all of which was
exactly what his father and mother
wanted.
