A «pectal committee of the West Leavenworth Improvement club will report *a.Torahly Monday night on the propoettton of moving the county hospital to a location in Douglas county, beyond the limits of the city of Omaha.

"Our committee will have another meeting before the club meeting Mon day night,” said Mr. Poff. “We are in favor of the general proposition of removal of the county hospital.

"Now I've done It!" muttered Reddy Fox to himself as he ran across a field, carrying a plump, young hen he had just stolen. "Now l’ve done it!" Behind him he could hear the frightened reckling of hens In the henhouse, the sound of a man's footsteps as he ran toward the henhouse, and the excited yelping of a dog. It was dark and he knew that he hadn't been seen. But he also knew that It wouldn't be long befor“ that dog would find his scent. As a matter of fact, it was only a few minutes before the voice of that i dog broke Into steady haying. Jt meant that that dog had found his scent and was after him. Reddy ran his best, but that dog was gaining k fast. The scent was so strong and 1 fresh that it was easy for that dog to follow. Reddy knew that he couldn’t carry that hen and hope to outrun that dog. As he jumped over an old stone wall Reddy tossed the chlh ken to one side. Then he jumped hack on the wall and ran along it for some distance. Finally he jumped out as far as he could and then how he did run! When he began to get ehort of breath he sat down and list ened. Reddy grinned as he listened. That dog hadn't yet found the place where Reddy had jumped front th» old stone-wall. He knew all about that dog. It was a young dog with a very good nose, but a dog without much experience. He wee not yet wise in the ways of a Fox. "I'm glad It Isn't Bowser the Hound,” thought Reddy. "It won't take me long to fool this fellow. That man won't follow in the dark, e® I haven't got to worry about him. I'll lead that dog off far enough ee that It will take him some time to get back borne. Then I'll lose him.” Pretty Boon the steady baying of the dog warned Reddy that It was Mme to move on again. He didn't try to break his trail. He wanted to leave k I CHAMBEMiUNsl U|S TABLETS \mm bmff vwmmci' mr-^* *<"ma 11 1k<B 25— \JuQf *&*&' Q i One-a-Pay Relieve* Indideation and atkoee flatulent (eat) pain* tkat cauie.suck aevere ['rii o Biliousnew and comtipa 0J tion dltappear under tkeir ^ stimulating tonic activity.

The air was sharp and frosty. It was a splendid night for running. Reddy actually enjoyed that run. But the dog was a fast runner and that trail wa* so easy to follow that he could run hia fastest.! At last he was get ting dangerously neat. But by this time they were a long way from where they had started. Ifedtly actually enjoyed the run. Reddy decided that they were far enough. He headed straight for a cer tain little brook he knew of. Reddy ran down It for some distance, keep ing In the water at the edge. Of course, the water carried away his scent. When he had gone far enough to suit his purpose, he jumped on a big rock in the middle of the brook. From that he jumped to another, then a third and a fourth. From this he made a flying leap to the hank on the other side, lie stopped for a minute and grinned as he listened to the troubled whines of the dog, who had lost his scent at the edge of the brook. Then Reddy turned, and by a round-about way trotted straight back to where he had tossed the young lien beside the old stone wall He picked her up and trotted straight home to the Old Pasture. He had saved his dinner and he felt very proud of it. He thought himself very smart. But Mrs. Reddy looked worried as she helped him eat that chicken, and he told her of his adventures.
