stant, one teeny, weeny instant, he
would see the inside of that stomach,
and this was the last thing in the

Gray Fox was just rp eager not to

Urey Kox tried rhasing Danny around
and around that stump. The best he
could do was to get an occasional

hack so ns to meet Danny coming
around. But Danny was ready for
this trick, and it didn't work.
But Gray Fox had an advantage over
Danny -Meadow .Mouse. You know the
big and strong always have a certain
advantage over the small and weak.
Danny \\as so much smaller and his
legs were so much shorter that he had
to take ever and ever so many more
steps than did Gray Kox, and this took
his breath and ills strength. As he

more tired he knew that only chance
or his wits could save him.
Now, lying on its side Just a few
feet away was a rusty old tomato can.
The botloni of It was toward Danny.
Of course he couldn’t see the other
end, and so he couldn't know how big
an opening it had It might not be
large enough for even so small a per
son as himself to get through. It might
he wide open, in which case he would
find no safety there. Danny hadn't
noticed this can at first When he had
noticed It he had gi\en it hardly more
than a thought. But as be grew more
and more tired that old can seemed to
offer the only possible way of escape
from Gray Fox. Danny had once es
caped from Reddy Fox by means of
an old can. ami lie hadn't forgotten it.
"I wish I knew about the opening
He wasn't a second too soon
in the other end of that ran," thought
Danny. "If it is the right size I'll be
safe. I guess I'll have to take the
chance. I can't stand this much longer.
It will be no worse to be caught in
that can by Gray Kox than to be
caught here. Oh, dear, why couldn't
that can tie the other way around so
that I could know how big that open
ing isi Well, here goes"'
Danny drew a li ng breath and ran
just as fast as those short legs of his
could take him straight to that old
tomato can. Perhaps you can guess,
though I don't believe you can, just
how he felt when he dodged around
the end of that old can and found a
hole in it just big enough for him to
squeeze through. He wasn't a second
too soon. Gray Kox was at his very

he had won. He was still terribly
