THE TALE OF A FISH.
AZ Related to His Friends by the
Veracious Jenkins.

They had been discussing fish and
fishing, when Jenkins suddenly added:
Did | ever tell you about Pitt Sing,
my pet japanese fan-tailed goldfish?
Bought her from Jake Hope for $40,
and she is no longer than your finger.
But about her intelligence. OF course,
she comes when called and eats out OF
your hand and all that childish non
sense; but here's thing she did
which indicates thought, reasoning,
brainwork. One day candlestick fell
from the mantel on to the thick glass
bowl in which Pitt Sing was dream
ing. The candlestick cracked the
bowl and knocked a small hole in 1t.
Pitt Sing, all alone in the drawing
room, saw the water that was essen
tial to her existence flowing through
the hole, and what do you think she
did? She plugged up the leak with
her tail, and in that position | found
her on my return an hour or so later.
She had saved her life, but the end OF
her tail, from exposure to the air, was
all shriveled and cracked. l had to
massage 1t with cold cream before the
poor little thing could swim again
There was painful silence for a few
minutes; then when Dumply said it
looked like rain everybody but Jen-
kins followed him out.

their homes and lending time and
talent to the cause.
