Oae sunny morning in summer, down
this pathway, sill .parAling With the
dewy moisture. came stcailhily moving
the long. 1.-the form OF . mink. Her fur
looked wo!u and rusty when the ,aH.irut
struck her as she skulhed ae,Vec1 iAe
tussocks of grass Occasionally Size
halted to look ab2a, her. alert lor any
thing eve could see. or car could hear;
but hearing nothing but The sweet notes
OF n song sparrow, and complaining c'y
OF calbird among the aidcrs, she again
moved on. As she reached the muddy
edge OF the brook, she trod more dalnti-
ly; then. winding among the pic1crc!.
weeds, swan down stream, hardly dis
turbing the water, only making long,
wedge. shaped waac as She stole into the
shadowy edge OF the brook Suddenly
she disappeared under water but soon
came up, struggling with something
that swayed and pulled Ecr aJou., ais
turbing the quiet OF the stream. and
sending muddiness down with The cur-
rent. But she bore the almost uumau-
ageable wrigglins eel Qor this il was) TO
a stone,wan, and, drawing herself and
burden up ont OF the water on the stone,
readjusted her hold. and seized 'he
creature back OF TIC head. Then iuc-
Ing herself to suck the blood. the th,ash-
ing, struggling Gel grew gradually weak
er and weaker. until i: looked perfectly
limp and lifcless. Then she jumped
from the wall. dragging this eel. longer
than herself, up through the grass, tao.
ing different and more concealed way
than the one by which she came, and
soon disappeared altogether. In the
thick banked wall OF this barn ON the
hillside, she had her young; and, after
they grew large enough to require some
thing more substantial than Natures hrst
provision, the mother used t0 bring
them fish of different kinds-ec.s. ducks,
and like prey. So sly and stcaIiAiiy did
she keep herself, that she was not seen
until the young were half grown and
looked like little lawn coIored wcasc,s;
when she betrayed herself by bringing
this food which impeded her movements.
By travelling the same way many times,
she grew bold.
These minks arc very destructive to
fish and. when the brook j. low, they
can often be tracked tor long distance
by the dead eels. pickele, sinners, and
sometimes trout, left lying along The
bank the mink only sucking the blood.
and leaving the fish unmutilatcd. One
autumn some small sinners, meant Tor
bait in pickerel fishing through tie ice,
were kept in an old tub set in q spring
near the brook; and in one night ali these
fish were killed by a mink, who left them
laid in row on the ground. They looked
precisely rs il some person had so
arranged them. But through the back
of each fish, near the head, were four
tooth. marks, that told who had been
there; this being frequently the only
mark the mink makes on his victim.-M.
