It would not have been safe to stroke his beautiful fur coat, even if his back were toward you, as he- was all attention every moment, graceful and quick in motion, his footfall silent as a cat's, his little balls of eyes as liery as an electric light, "locked up" though he was, keen with every promise to grow up to "have the wild tricks of his ancestors." Just as the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers have the same place on the map, they have always had the' same windings, widths and depths and hidden dangers, so Mr. Fox is on the map just the same as always, though not infrequently dressed in men's or women's clothes. w ' Signed" del. 22, 1919. .
