and clawed with all his might, but this only made Mir. Turtle so angry that he stretched out his long leck and caught MT. Cat by the tail. Then he sank to the bottom, pulling Mir. Cat with him. MT. Cat struggled with all his might, and just as he was almost drowned he flew around like perfect cy. clone, dragging Mir. Turtle with him, like the tail of comet. Round and round they went, and this made MT. Turtle so dizzy that he let go of the tall he had been biting so hard, and Mir. Cat struggled to the shore. That was narrow escape" said Mir.

Cat was very deter mined and brave, but if 1t had not been for his three cousins and his pride as fisher- man he would have given up and gone home.
 He went down stream with his string of fish and soon found another good place. Here he threw in his bait, and, as before. the fish came to the top at once. "Ah! there is a beauty" said MT. Cat, as he saw a great fat form gliding along beneath the surface. ''I'll fix that fellow in a minute :, and in he dived. He caught this time not a fish, but Mir. Mink, who was also fishing. MT.

The Story of
 The PanSieS.
~e@s @sS
Part Two.

Part TWO.
 But the fairy went to his place with radiant face, for the Princess had smiled at him from behind her fan.
 "Such a foolish ideal" exclaimed the black and gold Pansy, disgusted. 'I don't see why she didn't get some real task for us to work over"
 Butterfly, what color do you think the Princess would iike," asked the tan-col ored one, as a huge Butterfly hevered above him in the sunshine. "You are used to ladies; can't you help me?''
 The Butterfly hesitated moment before he fluttered away. Think what will be laughing; that always pleases a girl, yoa know.'
 The Pansy sighed softly. '.She would look beautiful In anything, am sure," he murmured to himself. But the Butterfly had given him an idea, anG all day the Pansy would look at the celors about him and then over at the Princess.
 The green of the grass, the scarlet of the poppy, the blue of the ragged robins, the pink of the rose, the orange of the mar- golds were rejected in turn. They were all too bright; 1t must be something more del' cate than any of these. The sun was going down to his bed in the west when the Ps1sy found the color he wanted. The b-lght colors In the sky faded from orange to pink. then to delicate lavender blue. The Pansy drew a long breath of delight. for above him on the top of the mound the Princess was surrounded by the soft light, and he saw how beautiful she looked.
 That night Sir Pansy hastened away to Dame Spiders home In the big hedge of box. wood
 "Dame," he said. after having politely in- uuirsd after the health of all the little Spiders and the number of flies captured that day-"Dame, did you see the sunset to- nightr
 "Ay, that did," and she nodded cheerily. Wasn't it beantifulT'
 ''DId you see that beautiful lavender just as the sun went down?' went on the little fairy. "oh. Dame Spider, do you think you could weave me little piece just that color? Just enough to show some one"
 Dame Spider scratched her head as she re- fected. Well, perhaps, I can. I'll try any how; come in two or three days and will show you what I can do."
 'Two or three daysl' echoed the fairy in despair. "Oh, Dame Spider, must have 1t tonight. Just little piece," he begged.
 "Ah, I see. You are trying ts find dress for the Princess," she chuckled. Well, I'll try, but it is the shade that will give trouble. Run ask the Cornhower and the Periwlnkle for a couple of petals--those they expect to drop on tomorrow will do. will get things ready while you are gone"

thoroughly hardened. put a thick coat of paint over the putty, both sides of the glass, and let the paint dry thoroughly. Remove all the paint and putty spots that may have got on the glass and polish 1t carefully. Then fasten down the box cover, and putty up all the cracks in the box. When the putty dries your "aquascope" Is complete.
 Be sure that your wire Is free from kinks, so that the slip moose on the end will work easily. Fasten the other end of the wire to a strong stick, about two inches thick and three feet long. Wind the wire around the stick until the moose is only few feet away from 1t. Now you are ready to start.
 Take your place in the bow of the boat, and, leaning over, hold the aquascope so that the end which holds the glass Is just under water and the open end next to your face. You can see the bottom quite clearly, and any fish which may be between you ard 1t. Your companion must sit in the stern and paddle the boat along softly with an oar, making the very least noise possible.
 Hold the aquascope with your left hand, and with your right the stick supporting the wire, which should be unwound until the moose Is half way to the bottom. When you see fish slip the moose carefully over It's head, jerk sharply upward with the stick. and you have 1t fast!
 The beauty of this kind of fishing Is that you can select the fish that you want to catch, and that Is much more exciting than sitting still and waiting for bite, for you are constantly trying to get within the proper distance of your fish, and it Is always in sight, unless there are no fish to be found, or unless you scare them away.

very carefully to see If any had been broken by the squeezing he had received. He ap- peared to be all right, and so he picked up his string of fish and started down stream toward another good place.
 'That was a powerful fish," he said, q don't think will ever dive In that place again. am not greedy enough to want fish of that size. Why, he was large enough to supply dozen families with fshballs for weekv'
 He soon reached another inviting spot, and, casting his bait upon the water, waited for the fish to come to the surface. Several appeared in moment, one very much larger than the rest, and Mir. Cat dived for the large one at once. It was not a fish at all, but MT. Mud Turtle, who was doing some fishing on his own account. Mir. Cat landed upon Mir. Turtles back, and was very much surprised when he found that he could not stick his claws into the shell. He bit at 1t

Then he told the story of the little Pansy's efforts, bidding them smell the sweet Rose odor which the Elm Tree waved toward them.
 The Pansy blushed and hid his face with delight as they all turned to look at him.
 ''It was his color also which the Princess chose," went on the King, flor he alone succeeded in finding a color which was be. coming to the Princess, and also one which no other Pansy has," Again every one turned to look enviously at the Pansy, whe had conquered two of the tasks.
 "But you have brought no treasure."n said the King. .'see, the others have Brought these beautiful things, but you have brought nothing. Why is that?" The SPansy hung his head and answered. sadly: :-"I could bring no treasure, Your Majesty. Ihad no money to buy gift it for the Princess"
 "Whatl Nothing at all?'' criedsth King. Surely you could have found something which the Princess might priEep'
 But the Pansy shook his head In despair. q can bring her nothing" he rspeated, mournfully; "nothing but whole heartfun of love and life that Is hers foreysv.'
 Suddenly the little Princess stepped for ward.
 .'You have brought me the greatest treas ure of all,'' she said, softly. T have jewels enough, and riches, too, without Aif these" and she pointed to the treasures,tne otnen had brought, purchased with ,theifriches.
 She laid her hand on the little Pansys shoulder as he kneft before her, and looked at the courtiers waiting below. You only thought to bring me what riches could buy, she said, but he has given me u6re than you all, his love and his fife.H

thing was lacking to complete his satisfac- ton, and that was a very large fish to place In the center of the dinner table, for he had not caught any above the medium size. He had gone further down the stream every time he caught a fish, and finally he had reached place where the water was very deep.
 There should be some whoppers in here," said Mir. Thomas Cat to himself, and he threw some pieces of bait into the river and in a moment there were several fish crowd ing around and nibbling at them. MT. Thomas Cat saw a long body stretch up toward the top of the water. and a great black jaw seize one of the fish.
 My, what a corking big fshi'' he said. and dived in the water at it. It was not

fish, but Mir. Blacksnake, who was also fish ing.
 He was about six feet long and almost as thicksas MT. Thomas Cat, so when MT. Cat caught him there was pretty lively time. MT. Blacksnake thrashed around In the water and finally wound himself around Mir. Cat and almost squeezed him to death, but MT. Cat bit and scratched so hard that Mr Black Snake unwound himself and tried to get away. MT. Cat was glad enough to let him go for he was completely exhausted with the struggle under the water, and almost smothered for lack of air He crawled out on the bank and felt of his ribs

went to the conrt to hear who might be the lucky one.
 The King and Princess sat upon their thrones. and every one drew near to hear what the King would say. He waved his hand to silence them and then he spoke:
 "You' have had your tasks given you. and you have done well, for each has tried his best. Many have brought sweet perfumes to take away the scent of the marigolds, but only one was wise enough to lnd a scent that would last through many summers and will stay through storm and sunshine. T

Here is way Of fishing which has the ad- vantage of novelty, and, besides you have no bait to bother with, and so, of course, no minIcws to aggravate you by taking the bait of yotr hook. It requires the use of an instrument known as an "aquascope." but you csn make one in a very few minutes. A long, thin wire. known as q "shirr wire" Is also needed. but shirring fish Is so com mon that you all know what that means, still, in case you do not, we will tell you. It Is a strong. thin wire. and should be long enough to reach the bottom of the water when you intend to fish. On one end of the wire make slip moose and bend the wire slightly at the top of the moose, so that It will keep It's shape. The moose should be about six inches In diameter. The moose $ to be slipped over the head of fish. when smart jerk will cause the wire to catch 1t tightly around the body, then you can pull it up at your leisure.
 The "aquascope'' Is merely device to enable you to see below the surface of the water. Were 1t not for the little waves and nipples caused by the wind and currents you could see directly to the bottom, if the water is not too deep. Take square cigar box and knock out the ends. Then fasten square piece of glass, such as the glass that comes in boxes of honey, in the place Of one of the ends of the box that you have re- moved. This you can do by tacking thin strips of wood to the sides and bottom of the box, on both sides of the glass. Then opening the top of the box will permit you to fasten the inside strips. Clean the glass carefully and put 1t in It's place ia the end of the box. Then stick putty around the edges of the box and let the putty dry. After 1t Is
