appeared when Billy felt a strong jerk
at his line. Quickly he began to reel it
In, but the weight at the other end was
so terribly heavy that Il almost dragged
him into the water and he feared the line
would break. Then as he was slowly
reeling In the line a great monster OF Il
fish leaped into the air. tugged at the line
Billy's hook. When Blly's eyes beheld
that fish they almost bulged from his
head. for 1t was ordinary fish, but
tremendously big one. Still reeling, Billy
set up a cry of help. calling at the top OF
his voice: Papa. Jean, come quickly
I've got a whale, Come. come for dear
life's sake! I can't hold him much longer.
Iio will drag me into the water if YOU
don't hurry. Gee. but he's a whopper,
Here, son, what does all this mean
Come. shake yourself awake, my boy,
1t was Bliy's fathers voice that spoke
In his ear, voice which seemed far away
and strange and broke in upon Billys cry
for help.
Then trembling in every limb from ex-
citement, Billy slowly opened his eyes
and beheld his father. in night robe,
standing beside him. And, looking about,
Billy saw that he was in his own little
room sitting upright in the bed, leaning
over its edge in strange position. Then
the truth dawned upon him. He had been
dreaming. With a look of disappointment
in his face, he lay back his pillow.

Why, 1t was SO strong that 1t almost

ME. Angelica, Bertha and Tom They II
make Il nice class and will enjoy the
school very much. I'm sure
But before I go any further with this
story I must tell you who these antic!-
patcd pupils were. Rover was Totty's pet
dosgie; Minnie was her pet kitten: An
Selica Bertha and Tom were her three
dolls Totty was very fond of them all.
and they in turn loved Totty very much
indeed But you will find out how little
they liked school.
Well on the same day that the idea Of
a school came into her head Totty gath
cred together her pupils. She decided II
best to hold the school in the open, on the
big back porch. She got chairs and
placed them In a row. Rover she put at
the head of the class, for, as she decla red,
he was the wisest pupil she had. for he
could jump through hoop and do MANY
other clever tricks. Next TO him she put
Minnie then Angelica. Tom and Bertha.
But almost immediately she had TO take
Minnie away from the side of Rover, for
they got 10 auarreling terribly.
"Oh. why will you two children act so
naughty?' cried Totty, carrying Minnie
to a seat at the foot of the class Now,
you are all in a row, and We'll begin our
lesson" she went on, taking book and
sitting on a chair in front OF the class

you understand" And as Rover looked
as though he understood, Totty began to
spell: "C-O-W. Is that right. Rover?"
But Rover only sat looking at her. Again
the teacher put the question:; but this
time Rover was busy scratching a nea
bite-and paid no attention to the question.
Tapping him gently on the head, Totty
again spelled the word Cow, again ask
ing: Did ! spell the word dog ii right.
Rover" But Rover was getting tired or
listening to such nonsense as spelling,
and, seeing a strange dog trotting along
in the back alley, he leaped from his seat
