already had been wrought. A dozen or

BILLY CROAK.
BY STANLEY WATERLOO.
written Especially for the Evening
starr

written Especially for the Evening
starr
Soon after the sun had melted the
ice and fairly warmed the waters
everywhere last spring. there appeared
floating in a tiny bay in the shore of a
pond near Newark a gummy-looking
mass, composed apparently of a lot
OF pearls, each about as big as a pea.
and adhering somehow together. Near
the centre of each pearl was a black
spot.
The adhering pearls were frogs EGGS
and the black spot in one of them was
destined to expand and develop into
Billy Croak. who, later i'll the year be-
came, as he is now. one of the most i'm
p~ortant frogs in that particular stretch
of water.
The black spot grew in the pearl and
heightened into a curiously- shaped lit
tie body and then, one day, it suddenly
exerted itself and burst out, and there
was no longer any pearl, but there was
a little black thing, mostly head, with
q Shi hPph RlRh IAoD VI ~ wv pi5
eyes and a tail which was a fin. The
thing had become a tadpole, or polly
wog, as it is more generally called, and
a most enterprising and energetic tad
pole at that. 1t could drive itself any
where; it could dart; it prided itself
on that tail. But ii was a hungry tad
pole at once. The problem of living
faced it. as it does all animate things
in the world. What could a pollywog
get to eat?
But Billy's birthplace had been well
selected. His mother knew her bust
ness, and SO he ranged through the
great sea devouring the almost invisi-
bic but abundant animalculae which en-
| listed there.
Pretty soon, however, Billy's gills
began to fail him. He couldn't under
stand it. He was growing rapidly;
his skin had become tight and not only
burned and tickled, but began TO hurt
him; his gills became more and more
inefficient and his tail became less phi.
able. He was compelled to keep his
head out of water most of the time ir
order to breathe. and he was, general,
ly, in a bad way. Then came sudden
relief.
One day Billy had swum so close t
shore hat he was almost fairly out
of water and the sun shone holly OF
him until his skin dried nearly to thu
cracking point. 1t made him still

her head, an ought to be taken away,
an they moved her out there in the
country where they had no friends,
an kept her hidden as if there was a

They said she was crazy when she

Women have gone veritably mad
over these big, loose, reversible cloth
coats, which for all their looseness OF
cut are very graceful and picturesque,
and because the material is soft and
light in spite of its thickness the coats
are not as heavy to carry about as
they appear.
Two-toned ISM cloth in a brown
and tan mixture with a reverse of tan
was used for this typical coat which
has all the style marks of the smartes;
