Tempting, beautifully colored flies
would drop upon the water, generally
two and sometimes three at a time.
How the trout would dart after them
How strangly they acted! The very
small ones would leave the water the
very moment their jaws shut upon
the fly fmpelled by some invisible
force, while the larger fish were forced
to go in just the opposite direction to
which they desired to travel.
AT first when acting this way the fish
would seem to be quite able to seek his
freedom, but as the moments went by
that something began to overmaster
him until, completely exhausted and
with head out of the water and open
mouthed, he was lifted from among US.

Nip and Tuck gave a scared look
round and spied Mandy's face at the
window. Tuck jumped to the floor, but
Nip, seeming to realize that this dis
closure marked the last Of his cream
feasts, determined to have one fling

into the creamy bowl, thus carrying
away all the booty he possibly could
with the greatest possible dispa atch.

spat out. We gulped down flies and
insects and liked them and when very
hungry the larger ones among us
ate the smaller ones. But we soon
learned that there were other things
to eat in the brook and, in a measure,
left each other alone
We loved the flies better than all
else, it was such fun to leap after
them even as they flew over the sur
face of the water. 1t was our custom
to hide behind a stone in the brook
where the water flowed swiftly, and
as the tired and half drowned insects
fioated down, dart out and seize them.
We found we had many enemies, not
only in the brook, but in the air. After
the large trout from below, in deep
water, had run up against us and de-
voured many OF us we learned to keep
in shallow water, where the larger fish
could not follow. The larger club per-
secuted us as did the squirming eels
who hugged the bottom.
Then came the herons, who had
way OF standing like images, still and
motionless. until we forgot they were
around, and they snapped us up in their
long, razorlike bills
The klngfishers were In the habit
of sitting on dead limb overhead and

grew smaller each day until it finally
disappeared. ] first knew what 1t was
to be hungry and want to eat when
the sack disappeared Up to the pres
ent moment had been living, as it
were, upon myself.
I did not go hungry long, for a man
came along and with a feather dropped
into the water sort of red paste
which we all ate greedily.
There were many thousands of US
in long troughs divided by small wire
partitions, through which the cold
spring water flowed night and day,
fresh from gushing spring from un-
der the hill. =
SO In our shady pond indoors we
swan about and fed heartily and grew
apace. 1t was not long before a man
came along and with a net scooped
out numbers of our companions to
give the rest more room, because we
were growing and thriving.
And then came the day when we
were all scooped out by that net and
put outdoors into larger ponds,
screened in, yet giving us ample room
to dart about here and there. The
ponds had clean, white. sandy bot

enemies of any kind. There was no
food in the pond for us to eat and
we continued to live on the foods pro-
vided for us.
We grew apace and the day came
when we were again scooped into cans
and sent away to be emptied into a
tiny brook into which cool spring
emptied.
There were no more screens to keep
us within limits and we never saw the
man again who was In the habit OF
feeding us. And when meal time came
and went, without our food being

The Wind

The wind has a language I would T

Sometimes tbs soothing and sometimes
tbs stern;
Sometimes it comes like low, sweet
song,
And all things grow calm as the
sound floats along;
And the forest is lulled by the dreamy
strain,
And siumber sinks down on the wan
dering main;
And its crystal arms are folded In
rest,
And the tall ship sleeps on its heav-
ing breast.

he swims around the pool he drags a
fine, white string after him. But be-
fore many days the end of the string
caught upon a snag, and with a mighty
tug the fly was torn loose, and with q
wounded jaw the old tyrant resumed
sway once more.
But it was a great lesson to us all,
and we learned that whether fly, grass
hopper, worm or any other tempting
thing was attached to thin white
string, 1T meant trouble for the one
who succumbed to the temptation.
In our young days the shadow of our
keeper thrown upon the pond meant
nothing but good to us, but we now
regarded shadow uponrthe brook with
the greatest of alarm and became wary
and cautious In the extreme.

THE MSCHIEVOUN ADVENTURES OF NIP AND TUCK

began to walk round and round In
circle under the limb on which the hen
was perched.
This soon woke Mrs. Hen up, f1ustered
and palpitating. She gazed down upon
Reynard. Round and round he walked,
always slowly and always looking up,
and poor Grannie Hen, whose gaze
seemed fastened upon him. kept turn
ing herself about and about to FOLLOW
his motions. Finally the old feathered
lady became so dizzy that she fell from
the tree, and Mr.. Fox made offswith
her.
This feat decided Nip. He concluded
that wild life must sharpen ones wits
more keenly than ranching. Besides,
the fox had drawn alluring pictures or
wild coons' nests built in hollow logs
and lined with sweet smelling grasses
and seed downs. He told Tuck that
these must be greatly more attractive
than the box and old wood sack which
Fred had provided for their sleeping
accommodations.
So that night they moved. But before
they went they had one more glorious
raid upon the apple room over the hay
NOW, where all the dried fruit was
spread out on the floor They rified
this, biting into some of the best ap-
pies and whisking the rest about with
their tails. Suddenly something sharp
ratified on the floor. 1t was Fred's lost
bunch of keys. Nip and Tuck nosed
them about for awhile and then left
them in plain sight in little circle
where they had brushed the fruit clear
from the floor. Perhaps they said to
each other, Wen do our old playmate
this one last good turn, anyway"
Then, just as the dawn was coming
up, side by side they slipped down from
the loft and scuttled away into the
wood world Fred found his keys as
they had left them, but never again did
he see Nip and Tuck, though he looked
for them every day on his way to
school. I secretly believe they are lead
ing a happy and, let us hope not too
mischievous a life in that mossy nest
in the tree that Mr.. Reynard told them
about.

faces like kittens and pretending to be

the storeroom key tied to it, and his
father had forbidden his PLAYING or
fishing or doing anything really worth
while to boy until the keys should be
found, and Fred after hunting and
