Removal of the sub menace means safe travel for convoys. It means that ships, will soon be able to take all the war materials, food and supplies that the factories can produce, if the railroads can move it fast enough to the ports.

"AH neht. see that you are on hand at sunup sharp," replied Reddy, and trotted away grinning. Early the next morning Reddy Fox and Sammy Jay met at the edge of the Green Forest. "Now," Reddy explained, "we will go over by the fence back of the corncrib. I will hide there just where I hid yesterday morning, and you will hide in the evergreen tree close by Watch the roof of the corncrib and I think you will see something that may explain how you happened to be caught by the bill the other morning. But, whatever you see, don't make a sound, not the least bit of a sound." Sammy promised, and they hur ried over to their hiding places Hardly had Sammy settled himself in the evergreen tree when he saw Chatterer the Red Squirrel jump to the roof of the corncrib from the limb of a tree which overhung it. Almost in a flash Chatterer had dis appeared tnrougn a noie just under the edge of the roof. No sooner was he out of sight than Reddy Fox ran swiftly across to the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard and hid behind it. Right away Sammy Jay guessed that Chatterer had had something to do with the terrible fright he had had at the corncrib "It wasn't a trap at all, but Chat terer!" thought Sammy, and right away he grew so angry that he could hardly sit still. Pretty soon out came Chatterer with his cheeks stuffed full of corn. That was too much for Sammy Jay. He forgot all about his promise not to make a sound. He darted out of his hiding place and flew at Chatterer in a terrible rage, screaming at the top of his voice and calling Chatterer every bad thing he could think of. Of course, Chatterer couldn't reply, because his cheeks were stuffed with corn, but he could run. Like a little red flash he was in the tree that overhung the corncrib and dodging around the trunk. Over behind the stone wall Fox snarled, for with such aReddy noise he knew it wasn't safe for him to stay a minute longer. THE WAY OF A MAID 4 Jf&r' ... a. . . Mjl v.v,.
