Bedtime Stories
The Tables Turned.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
That fair for you is fair for me;
That fair for me for you must be.
—Johnny Chuck.
EDDY FOX is a good loser,
and good losers are rare In
this world. But Reddy long
ago learned that life is full
of disappointments and the
best of plans are bound sometimes to
fail, so It is useless to think about
them. Reddy wisely accepts defeats
and disappointments In the same
apirit that he accepts success.
Never had Reddy been more sure of
anything than he had been of a
Chuck dinner when he succeeded in
getting between the two fighting
Chucks and the hole for which they
were fighting. One Chuck, as you
know, was Johnny Chuck, and he had
dug that hole. The other Chuck was
HE TURNED AND STARTED OFF
TOWARD THE OLD PASTURE.
a big young stranger whc had taken
possession of that burrow while John
ny was absent and had refused to
give it up.
Being between the burrow and the
two Chucks. Reddy couldn't see how
he could possibly lose out on that
dinner, for there was no other place
of safety for either of them to go to.
Never in his life had he been more
6ure of anything than he was of din
ing on one or the other of those two
Chucks. He might have to fight, and
fight hard, to kill one of them, for
they were big and strong and good
fighters, but he hadn’t a doubt as to
how the fight would end. And then
suddenly he found himself facing two
angry Chucks who had forgotten
their own quarrel in this common
danger and were ready to fight side
by side.
This was more than Reddy had bar
gained for. He was willing to light
one, but he knew better than to try
to fight two such big Chucks as these.
Finding he couldn’t separate them,
he gave up as gracefully as he could.
He grinned.
“You fellows win,” said he. “Two
as big as you are one too many for me.
But let me catch either of you alone
and it will be just too bad for some
one, and it won’t be me.'
He turned and started oft toward
the Old Pasture. It appeared that
he had given up wholly. He hadn’t.
No, sir. he hadn’t. Reddy Fox doesn’t ,
give up as easily as that. He was
turning over in his mind a plan to
get one of those Chucks alone. •
“They may be friendly enough now.
while I am around and they are
afraid,” thought he, "but I don’t be- ‘
lieve they’ll be such friends when c
they think I am not around. I’ll just t
get out of sight as soon as I can and j
then hide where I can watch what .
goes on.”
So when Reddy came to a little hoi- 1
low where, by crouching close to the i
ground, he was out of sight of the i
two Chucks, he stopped and, lying flat, ]
prepared to watch those two Chucks, i
He grinned at what he presently saw. ]
In the presence of Reddy, the
Chucks forgot their quarrel, but as ’
soon as they saw him well on his way i
to the Old Pasture, they drew apart <
and faced each other. There was I
nothing at all like brotherly love in 1
the looks they gave each other. Sud- i
denly Johnny Chuck started as if to I
attack the other, but instead abruptly ’
turned and made for the entrance to ■
that burrow. Before the other realized
what he was about he had reached it 1
and had his back to the entrance. >
Now the tables were turned. If the
stranger wanted that burrow he would
have to get Johnny out, and that
would be no easy matter. Indeed, it
would be almost impossible, for John
ny would not be tempted into leaving :
that entrance to fight as the other
had been tempted to do. This was
Johnny’s own burrow, and he would
fight for and keep it.
The stranger knew this He made
a few threats and then started off. He
headed for the first burrow Johnny
had dug. the one Reddy Pox had tried
to dig him out of. Johnny shook l
his head.
“He’s foclish to go there," muttered
Johnny. “That place isn't safe. Reddy
can walk right in there.”

The Norrra
Cloth Witl
BY UNCLE RAY.
IN WESTERN France, a few miles
from the coast of the English
Channel, Is the little city of
Bayeux. It has a population of
only about 7,000; but it is more
than a thousand years old.
The people of Bayeux make excel
lent lace, and also give time to the
making of china ware; but the place
is most noted as the home of the
Bayeux tapestry.
The Bayeux tapestry is a long strip
of cloth with pictures which tell the
story of the Norman conquest of Eng
land. The cloth is brownish linen,
only 1 foot and 8 Inches wide, but
with a length of 230 feet.
The pictures were placed on the
cloth by sewing woolen thread or yarn
on it. Blue, green, yellow, red, black
and buff threads were used to work
figures of men, animals, boats and
buildings.
The men shown are kings, nobles,
knights and foot soldiers. Among
them are King Edward, the confessor,
and King Harold of England. Duke
William of Normandy, and Bishop
Odo.
Bishop Odo once held sway over

l a Story.
Bayeux. It is believed that the tapes
try was made for use in his cathedral
there. No one knows who sewed the
figures on the tapestry, but one legend
says that the work was done by Queen
Matilda, wife of William the Con
queror.
There are 72 scenes which make a
picture-story. Harold is shown’as he
says good-by to King Edward; as he
takes a boat to France; and as he is
made prisoner by a French earl. Later
NORMANS BUILDING BOATS FOR
INVASION OF ENGLAND (FROM
BAYEUX TAPESTRY.)
Harold is seen taking an oath that he
will not try to keep William from
gaining the English throne.
Harold did not keep the promise.
He let himself be crowned King of
England. This led Duke William to
prepare to invade England with as
large an army as he could muster.
The tapestry gives us views of Nor
mans cutting trees and building boats
for the invasion.
The Bayeux tapestry was not made
in the same way as the usual tapes
try, and the figures are rather crude,
but it is of more value than any other
piece of cloth in the world. It is now
on display, under glass, in a museum
at Bayeux.
