A «pectal committee of the West

hospital to a location in Douglas
county, beyond the limits of the city
of Omaha.

ed to Investigate the situation and
report back to the club In two weeks.

The appointment of the committee
followed a general discussion of the
subject by members of the club, the
consensus of opinion being in favor
I of the removal of the county hospital.
It was the sense of the meeting that
an Investigation should he made be
fore the club took formal action.
"Our committee will have another
meeting before the club meeting Mon

in favor of the general proposition of

How Reddy Saved His Chicken
l>in tier.
"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

a plain trail for that doff to follow.
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.

Proves to Re Right.”
