The Spiders Cunning.


took largs spider from his web under
the basement of mill, put him on chip
and set him nhoat on the quiet waters of the
pond. He walked all about the sides of the
bark, surveying the situation very carefully,
and when the fact that he was really afoat
and about yard from shore seemed to. be
fully comprehended, he prospected for the
nearest point of land. This point fairly set
tied upon, he Immediately cast web for it.
He threw it as far as possible in the air and
with the wind. 1t soon reached the shore
and made fast to the spires of grass. Then
he turned himself about, and in true sailor
fashion began to haul in hand over hand on
his cable. Carefully he drew upon it until his
bark began to move toward the shore. AS it
moved the faster he the faster drew upon it to
keep his hswser tRut and from touching the
water. Very soon he reached the shore, and
quickly leaping to terra firma he sped his way
homsward- Thinking, then, that he might be
a special expert, and an exception in that line
of workmanship to the rest of his companions,
tried several of them, and they all came to
the shore in q like manner.
