THE BABY MERMAID.

~ ERTHA was a little German girl.
Il one day she took her knitting
and went down by the water
She found a nice fiat rock and
sat down to knit, but hardly was she
seated when she heard a spiashing in
the water near her and two large fish
threw. themselves on the shore.
They did not seem to notice Bertha,
for one of them said, .'It Is a relief to
be away from that dreadful noise, isn't
it3
II. never heard such screaming since
was born into the ocean," said the
other. Il am glad Mermaid babies are
not often foundA'
Bertha's curiosity could stand no
more. Il did not know there were mer-
maid babies" she said to the fish.
''Of course. they have to be babies
first" said the fish, who seemed to be
the spokesman. but this one Is the first
| ever saw and It cries all the time"
Perhaps it is cutting its teeth" said
Bertha.
'"No. it isn't. said the FISH. II was
right beside 1t and it hadn't a knife
near it."
"Oh, dear, laughed Bertha, Il do not
mean that kind of cutting. / mean
that its teeth are coming through its
gums"
Both fish looked very blank at this
remark. and the spokesman said, 81
cannot say why II cries, but 1t Is I'M
possible to live near 1t. We have not
slept at all since 1t was found"
"I wish could see it," said Bertha.
You can," said the fish. IF you are
not afraid of getting wet. My, brother
and will take you to the bottom Of the
ocean, but do not blame US for all the
noise, for we have warned you, II Is
enough to drive US to fish hooks"
II shall not mind that" said Bertha,
as she put her knitting under rock,
but how will you get me there"
Put, an arm over the back OF each of
u.s." said the fish. Bertha did as she
was told, and drew a long breath, and
before she could breathe again she was
at the bottom Of the ocean.
On a large pink-lined shell Bertha
saw the dearest little mermaid you can
imagine, and around II were several
mermaids trying to, quiet its cries.
I'VE have brought this little girl to
see the baby" said the speaker fish.
I'VE think she would be quite pretty"
The Washington times., 1911-04-10

said one of the mermaids, 'ff she would
stop crying. but she has not stopped a
minute since We found her.
Didn't the stork bring her?" said
Bertha.
I'VE do not have the stork here" said
the mermaid, 1.-The dolphins hide them

as she took the dainty little creature in
her arms. The baby mermaid stopped
crying and looked at her, and all the
mermeids sighed with relief.
Now get me SGme nice pieces of sea-
weed" said Bertha. Away swan a mer-
n.aid, and soon returned With large
peice of seaweed. Bertha put an end
of 1t to the baby's lips.
1t opened its little mouth and grasped
at 1t eagerly. Bertha held 1t close to
her as she sat on the rock swaying
back and forth with the motion Of a
rocking chair, and soon the little crea-
ture was fast asleep.
II wish you had come before" said
the fish, who had brought Bertha down.
Cant you take her back with you?"
"Oh. no. no. said one of the mer-
maids, she would die II she stayed
out of water. Tell US how to take care
Of her." she said TO Bertha, for We
will have to bring her up now that she
has been taken from her SHELL" What
you need is a cradle" said Bertha; 'can
you find very large shell that can be
rocked?"
'Ill find one" said the fish. and away
he went with his brother.
And you must have something to
amuse her, too" said Bertha.
I've can get the gold fish to swim

and smiled. Bertha held her up over
