You think you are smart, but you are not smart enough to eateh me." Reddy Fox might have told Happy ■lark tli,it lie would have been naught had it not been for Peter Rabbit's warning, but be didn't.

You may ns well hunt for someone else." ,Reddy Fox seemed In no hurry to go hunt for someone else. Tie con tinued to sit at the foot of that little tree, looking up and grinning.

Of course, he expected to get there by Jumping I from tree to tr,e. lie climbed a little higher and looked (o see how far It was to the next tree. It was then that lie made a dreadful discovery. It was then that he understand why Reddy Fox didn't go away and why Reddy grinned. There wasn't .another tree within jumping distance. He was safe for the time being, blit he was in trouble. He was a prisoner in that little tree for as long as Reddy Fox chose to remain there, Reddy saw the look of dismay on (he face of Happy Jaek and the grin on his own face grew broader. That was a small tree. It was hardly big enough to he called a tree. It wasn't big enough to he at all comfortable. None of the branches were big enough for a fat gray squirrel to hide behind. k\ hen he realized this. Happy Jack looked about anxiously. Supposing Terror the Goshawk should come along Supposing Reddy Fox should keep him there until the Black Shad ows came creeping out from the Pur ple Hills and llootv the Owl should start out hunting! Happy Jack shiv ered at the thought. It was quite plain that Reddy Fox had seen at once that Happy Jack Mae a prisoner In that llttte tree Al iwuly It was lata In the afternoon. Reddy knew how afraid of being out lifter dark Happy Jack was. I'll just keep him up here until the Black (Shadows collie. Then I'll so away and hide where lie can’t see me, hut where I ' in watch him. He won't flare day up In Unit tree, and he'll try to reach another tree Just as soon H.C«t \WWMU-3~r •• \ou thought you were going to catch me that time, didn't you, Mr. Smaily," said Happy Jack. as he thinks it is sate to. Then I'll have that fat Squirrel dinner that 1 Just missed getting.'1 said Reddy to himself. So.Reddy curled up at the foot of the tree and waited until the Rlack Shadows came creeping into the Oreen Forest. Then he got up. stretched, yawned and trotted off as if he had decided it was useless to stay there any longer. Tie didn't once look back. Rut the instant he was where he knew Happy Jack couldn't see him he turned and crept to a place where he could watch and where lie knew he was near enough to catch Happy Jack before t lie lat ter could reach another tree.
