Show Fox Liked His Comfort. c An unusual sight met the gaze of a Duarte (Cal.) man when he opened his house the other morning and found his swinging seat occupied by a full grown fox. With the cushion for a nest the fox was resting comfortably and evidently enjoyed his quarters. When his presence became known the members of the family came trooping out to see the porch climber. Then the fox disappeared under the house, where his nature prompted him to hide until the spectators left ths porch, when, finding the coast again clear the fox gracefully Jumped on the porch and into the swinging seat, and, with an almost human air of comfort and satisfactlen, adjusted the pillow and settled down to complete ths morning nap. When again interrupted the fox disappeared and headed foi the mountains. The theory that il had escaped from a luxurious captivity captiv-ity probably accounts for the domesUg tastes of the visitor. |
