The Seaside camp employs several hundred men. CLEVER MADAM I1EX then she said she would agree to do this If Mr. Fox would take her back to the place he found her, “ for my nest is In some hay not far from there,” she told him. Mr. Fox should have known that a mother would give her own life ts save her children, but as he was a bachelor he knew nothing about such things, so he took up the bag and started back. When he reached the place where he had found her he let Madam Hen out, but he took good cure to hold her by one leg while he tied a striug to her before he let her go. “ I f you make a sound,” he told her, “ off comes your head.” But Madam was not thinking of making any noise. She had another plun, and tf It worked off would come Mr. Fox’s head perhaps, so she led him quietly back of the barn to an opening and let him look in. Sure enough, there was the nest with the eggs. “ Go In,” said Mr. Fox, and In she went and hopped on the nest. Mr. Fox saw an opening at the other end of Madam Hen's hiding place but he thought nothing of that. All he noticed wns that the place was filled with hay, so he held the string and told Madam Hen he would wait right there until the eggs were hatched.

Mr. Dog saw him and right through the place he came, pushing Madam Hen in his hurry nearly off her nest. Out he bounded, and after Mr. Fox he flew, for Mr. Fox had dropped the string fastened to Madam Hen’s leg and forgot all about the chickens. Madam Hen had made her nest in Mr. Dog’s house at the very back, where the old boards had broken away and a hole in the fence made another door to his house, so no one but Mr. Dog knew her secret, and, feeling he must take good care of her, he looked in many times during the day to see that all was well. Madam Hen knew If once she could get back on the nest she was saved, and her plan worked out just as she had expected it would.
