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.

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,

had expected it would.
