FOUND UNDER A TREE
O ONE ever knew how it came
there, but after it was all over,
Mr. Fox, who visited the farms often-
er than any of the others, thought
that some one had a plenic in the
woods and left it under the tree.
It was a box, not a very large one,
but large enough to attract Mr. Fox
28 he walked through the woods one
day under the bushes and back of the
trees,
He, being a very wise and cautious
fellow, did not touch it, but ran over
to Billy Possum’s house to tell him
about It, and Billy, being very curi-
ous, ran with Mr, Fox to where the
box was under the tree,
But after looking at it a while Billy
Possum decided that Tim Coon was
the boy who should be given a chance

“What are you all looking at?’
asked Jack Blackbird, looking down
from the tree overhead, and when he
saw the box he flew down in a hurry
to look it ever,
“Poof,” he sald, with a toss of his
saucy head, “it won't hurt you,” and
he gave it a poke which turned the
box over and there on one side Jack
saw a little hook which held the
cover.
All three animals moved back a lit-
tie as Jack pecked at the hook with
bis bill apd they looked on with wide
open eyes,
“Peck, peck, peck,” went Jack
Blackbird, and then the hook slipped
back and off flew the cover and wp

who had on a pointed cap and carried
a stick in one hand.
The funny little fellow jumped so
hard that his spring gave way and
