He was having a ride and, as you know, Foxes are not in the habit of riding. Goodness no! I should say not! But Red- dy was having a ride. He was having a ride and -at the same time escaping from a hunter and his Dog who had almost caught him. Then along a road through the woods had come a sled drawn by two horses. Unseen by the driver Reddy had jumped onto that sled, which was very low, and crept under some straw that was there, Now he was being carried he knew not where, nor did he care much so long as it was away from that hunter and hig Dog. or a long time Reddy just rested for he was very, very tired. Had this sled not come along just when it did, and bad he not been smart enough to make the most of this good for- tune, that Dog surely would have caught him. So now with a watchful eye on the back of the driver, who had not yet discov- cred his presence, Reddy was satisfied to regain his breath and come of ihe strength which that long run hada taken from him. When he got these back it would be time enough to think about what to do next. Now Reddy's good fortune was even better then he knew, for he was being taken in the direction of Farm- er Brown's, on whose farm is the Old Pasture, in which, as you know, is Reddy's home, It might have happened that he was be- ing taken in the opposite direc- tion, which would have been bad fortune, But Reddy, curled up on the floor of the sled, could see little but the sky above and a zllmpse of the snow-covered road behind, and had no idea where he was headed Jor. It was enough that with every jingling step of those horses he was leav- ing that Dog and the hunter with his terrible gun farther behind. Suddenly Reddy pricked those sharp black ears of The sled stopped and he voices, the voices of men, 'they were three hunters, and with them were two Dogs. They were asking the driver of that sled for a ride for he was going in the direction they wanted to go, The driver told them to jump in and the first one did so. Of course that was the signal for Reddy to jump out, There was nothing else to do, Over the side he went, leaping as fap as he could and away at the best speed his stil, weary legs could muster. Such a racket as broke out be- hind him! The men yelled! The Dog began to bark! Once more Reddy was fleeing for his life, this time with two Dogs behind him, Jt was well that Reddy had had that rest, for these Dogs were fresh and one of them was very fast, Reddy knew at once that he would have to find a safe retreat and that quickly, for In his weakened condition he could nol for the second time that day make a long and successful run. In one thing at least his good fortune continued -- he knew where he was. Yes, sir, he knew just where he was. He was dashing through the Old Orchard, That road the sled had been fol- lowing passed Farmer Brown's and it was at the edge of the Old Orchard hat those hunters had stopped the sled, Through the Old Orchard raced Reddy and behind him rac- ed the two Dogs baying in eager excitement. Over in the farm- house Bowser the Hound and Flip the Terrier were barking in great excitement and scratching on the back door to be let out and join in the hunt, Running after the Dogs came the three hunters, They had not shot at Reddy because he had caught them hy surprise when he leaped from the sled, and by the time any of them had recovered suffi- cently to think of shooting Reddy war too far away. Reddy knew that he couldn't reach the Old Pasture and the his. heard officers. At the close of the meeting a delicious supper was sérved by the Refreshment Committee '| which brought the proceedings to a close, IIS KIDNEY PILLS «| self at him in that way?" up | safety of his home. Those Dogs were too fast for him. He must find shelter near at hand, He headed straight for Farmer Brown's dooryard. He knew by the sounds that Bowser and Flip were in the house, so there was nothing to fear from them, Per- haps he could find shelter under the barn, Anyway, it seemed his one chance. Out of the Old Orchard and into the yard he raced, and there was the barn door open just wide enough for him to squeeze through! He didn't even notice Farmer Brown's Boy standing close by. He made straight for that open- 1g. (Copyright, 1932, by T. W. Burgess) The next story: "The Angry Hunters."

FRUIT DEALERS DEBATE TARIFF Five Recommendations to be Presented to Do- minion Government Ottawa.--Five tariff recom- mendations affecting the fruit and vegetable growing industry were approved at the annual meeting of the Eastern Canada Fruit and Vegetable Jobbers' As- sociation, which opened a three. day session here recently, The recommendations, to be presented to the Dominion Gov ernment, are: " That all duties should be spec- itie, That seasonal duties should be high enough to fully protect Canadian producers and so ob- viate the necessity of fixing of values for duty purposes. That out-of-seazon duties should be sufficlent only to pro- vide the revenue required, That there should be an ad- ditional duty on diverted ship- ments to protect against imports from other than the point of production. That the weight for duty pur- poe«3 should be uniform through- out the Dominion, Led by President Kar] B. Con- ger, of Ottawa, the 73 delegates discussed the recommendations at some length before passing them, Principal speaker at the after- noon session, George Stronach, of Toronto, told the delegates that only sustained advertising was profitable, "Spasmodic advertis- ing is a washout and a waste of both the money spent and the ef- fort," he sald, adding that news- paper advertising, one of the best means to getting before the pub- lic, should be specialized, the campaign sustained and the lay- out attractive, President Conger opened the seventh annua) gathering with a declaration that there never was a time so opportune as the pres- ent for development of Empir trade in fruit and vegetables. R. J, C, Stead, Canadian au- thor, told the delegates at lun- cheon that, "when the world gets hack to where p man earns what he gets instead of acquiring it, when he pays as he goes and stil) saves a little for a rainy day, we will have taken a long step to- ward solution of the trouble in the world today." ------ Up to Expectations.--""Well, old man, how's the world treating you?"

GOES TO JAIL FOR ROBRIRY WITH VIOLENCE Utica Man Sentenced at Port Perry on Tuesday Port Perry, Jan. 6. -- Found uilty by Magistrate Purdy in po- ice court here yesterday on a charge of robbery with violence, Charles Munro, beekeeper of Utica, was septenced to a term of two years less one day deterwmin- ate and ope year indeterminate in the Ontario Reformatory at Guelph, The charge arose out of an attack made by Munro. on Thomas Cummins, a neighboring farmer, at the latter's home on the night of December 23. A plea of not guilty of the charge was entered by Munro, who was defended by Russell Humphreys of Oshawa. Evidence as to the assault was given by Thomas Cummins, who testified that Munro with a handkerchief tied about his face, came to his house ou the night of December 24, struck him sévera) blows with a club, and threatened to take bis lite, at the same time demanding bis money. Cumming told a graph. fe story of how he Jrappied with his assailant, and of the struggle whieh took place in the lonely farmbouse near Utica before Mynro made his escape to be &r- rested altefwards, ummins, in evidence, pos Bively identified unro as his assailant.

Now the Sicilian hero has retired and is working on a review of his work. It is being written in the cold factual man- ner of a police report, but it will read like a romance anyway. Guilty of Many Crimes The Mafia had been guilty of every conceivable form of crime. They levied tribute on the rich and the poor. They forced one baron to pay them as "honorar- fum" of 12,000 lire annually for seven years. They sent letters to wealthy persons reading: "We bandits have the right to live on the shoulders of the land owners, If you do not do your duty we will know how to punish you. It's useless to tell you to whom you must present yourself if you wish to save yourself from ruin." Some of the characters cast as villanis or villainness in Mori's story of his ficht are: Ruthless Queen The queen of the Mafia, who ruled like Catherine the Great of Russia and forced Sicilian beau- ties to marry her gallants, The 77-year-old bandit leader wh'o was given honors equal to those accorded a prefect wherever he moved, and who forced loreal authorities to issue his death cer- tificate to throw Mori's men off Lis trail, The Mafla mayor who got King Emmanuel to kalght him and stood on a balcony in Palermo be- side the secretary of the Fascist Party while the latter delivered a biting tirade against the Mafia, The renort tells of hair-ral~ine battles with the sinister force that held Sicily in its terroristic erip. It tells how Mor! organized his own armv of 800 men, spent a month drilling them and then laid seige to a town of 10,000 in- habitants infested with Mafla ban- dits, Stringent Laws Some of the subterfuges and Police were told hut a city-wide search failed tp reveal the car's whereabouts, When a bill for sto- rage arrived two weeks later, however, he suddenly remember- goods were stringent lawg Mori resorted to are explained, One ovraer called for the imprisonment of the wives and children of fugitives from justice in whose possession police found articles for which the Ma fia's women folk could not ac- count. This was a shrewd move, for the Sicilians are attached to their families. Thousands 0 WOr men and children fell into the dragnet, Millions of lire worth of confiscated. Then the fugitives came trooping in to surrender, in order tn secure the release of their families. Land owners were forbidden to take on any employes without notifying police. This struck a blow at the Mafia custom of coerce ing land owners to put on their payrolls Mafia members, some of whom were as far away as North Ameriea, Thus the Mafia were isolated and the march on their strong- holds began. In the bitter fight- ing which followed, 10 of Mori's followers were killed and 350 Svounded, but within three years the terrorists had been suppress- ed, more than 1,000 of them were in prison and Mor! was being haf! ed as the "St, Patrick of Sicily." PROCESSION FOR KING TURKEY WAS STIRRING EVENT Veterans at Christie Street Hospital Given Real Christmas Treat Toronto.-- "Piping in" the Christmas turkey, Highlanders at Christie Street Hospital led a procession of 100 white-robed Red Cross girls and twice as many King's men to the great dining room, Only veterans and the hospital staff sat down to the delicious dinner. When the remains of the turkeys on thelr silver platters were removed the piper played in the other courses Greetings from the province were voiced by Col. Hon, W. H. Price. Mayor Stewart brought the good wishes of the City of To- runto and Mrs. H, P. Plumptre, speaking for the Red Cross, em- phasized the spirit of goodwill. T. L. Church and Col, also spoke words of greeting. BN Nerves on iru head that riya swallow of throbs.
