You have hit it," he replied. Long

the work. So adopted what l regarded

so, he probably mistook 1t for bit Of mica

Then his lips moved. and 1 put my ear
again to the hole. He seemed to DO re-

Thereupon he turned on his heel kicked

But" interposed, ''I do not see that
you have exposed anything yet except the

"You will see more clearly after .

Hall now placed his eye again at The
aperture. and was unable entirely to re-
press the exclamation that rose to his
lips. He remained staring through the
hole for several minutes without utter
ing a word Presently I noticed that the
lenses of his eye were illuminated by
ray of light coming through the hole. but
he did not stir.

piled his ear to the hole. and listened IN

1t Is probably news to the majority OF
| people to know that the red or rock cod
| fish is bitter enemy of the lobster that
has just crawled out of his shell and is
| soft and unable to protect himself. Dur
| ing shedding time these Holsters crawl
| up under projecting rocks where the sea-
weed and kelp are thick and where they
find protected places in which to go
through the process of slipping out of
their old shells and taking on a new coat
of mail. SO to speak. For some days after
shedding the Holsters are weak and unable
to cope with those fish that wage war
upon them. This fact the Goldfish seem
intuitively to know, and they will swarm
around these retreats in great numbers
and wait for the shedders to crawl out

Goldfish and watched their operations. He
had even dropped his line down and dang

lobster meat. When the thin helled lob
sters would crawl out from beneath the
protecting seaweed the Goldfish would dart
at them and strike them fierce blows with
their tails. disabling them completely.
They would then fall to and devour the
helpless crustaceans. This performance

ed many times. The shedding season is
now practically over, and the shells OF
the Holsters are becoming firm and hard
and they are fully able to take care of
themselves. I'D,
