BURGESS BEDTIME STORIES - By THORNTON W. BURGESS. -—. Reddy Proves His Cunning. All the day after his discovery that Old Man*Coyote had had a feast up at Farmer Brown'i Reddy Fox thought about It. Just thinking about It mad* him hungrier than ever. If that were possible. He was Impatient for that day to end. It seemed to him the longest day he could remem ber. When the first black shadows came creeping out from the Purple Illlls he sighed with relief. He began to walk about uneasily. It seemed to him that Jolly, round, red Mr. Sun never would go to bed. But at last the Black Shadows had crept out across the Green Meadows arid across Farmer Brown's dooryard. Paddy waited no longer. Keeping in tire blackest of the Black Shadows, he crept up behind Farmer Brown's barn. There he waited as patiently as he * -- - could. It was a long wait. It seemed to him Bint those lights in Farmer Brown's house never would go out. lie kept looking behind him anxiously. Would the feast of the night before have made Old Man Coyote bolder, At last he heard the kitchen door open. lie saw Fanner Brown's boy come out. Ho had a big pan of food. Ho brought it out and set It down Just where Reddy had found the empty pan the night before. Then he returned to the house. A few minutes later the last light in the house went out. Reddy waited only long enough to make eure that it really was out. Then he ran swiftly to that pan of food. My. my. my, how he did gobble that food! Never was a pig more greedy than was Reddy Fox. It seemed as if he couldn't get that food down quick enough. One reason was that he was half starved. Another was that he wanted to make sure of all of it before Old Man Coyote should arrive. He had wasted no time looking for traps, as hgd Old Man Coyote the night before. You ee«. Reddy knew there were no traps, for he had seen Farmer Brown's Boy bring that food out. When he had licked that pan so clean that it looked as it It had been | washed he chuckled happily. Then he trolled over behind the henhouse and laid down w here he could peep aiounil •he corner and watch. He waited a long time. Rut at last he saw a shadowy, gray form come out from behnd thg barn and go straight tow ard that empty pan. It waa Old Man Coyote. Reddy chuckel again, a wicked little chuckle. Rut he took care that it wasn't loud enough to be heard. A few feet from the empty pan Old Man Coyote stopped and stared at tt. Then as he had done the night before, he circled around It. This brought him to the tracks of Reddy Fox. In the moonlight Reddy could see the Ups of Old Man Coyote drawn back ao as to show all hi* teeth. Then without another glance at that empty pan, Old Man Coyote put bis nose to Red dy's treks and.started to follow them. Reddy waited to see no more. He ran as only he can run. He no long er chuckled. You see, he hadn't once thought that Old Man Coyote might try to catch him. THE NEBBS % JUST A BIG MAN.
