QUEER THING is THE TURTLE
Scotch Naturalist Of Wide Repute De
cares II Is Neither Fish. Flesh
Nor Fowl.

According to Macdonald, a Scotch
naturalist of wide repute, the turtle is
the strangest of all living things and
the most unbelievable. He can live
in the water as well as out of It and
can seemingly go for indefinite lengths
of time without air or food or light.
He is neither fish nor flesh nor fowl.
and yet he has the characteristics OF
all three As for his eating. it seems
quite superfiuous, for he can remain
shut up in a barrel for number of
weeks and emerge at the end OF the
time apparently none the worse for
the lack OF food and light and air.
The baby turtle seems also just as
Indifferent to its surroundings as It's
parents are. AS soon as 1t comes
forth from its egg 1t scuttles off 10 the
sea. IL has no one to teach or guide
it. In its brain seems implanted the
idea that until its armor becomes hard
1t has no defense against hungry fish
And SO Il seeks shelter in gulf weed
and feeds unmolested until its armor
gets hard.
BY the time that IL weighs IS
pounds. which occurs the first year. It
knows that II is far from all danger.
for after that no flsh. however hungry

She extended her arms wildly;
What do you know about God, except
that He's Father. That's all-Father

Yet you want me to care for your re-

sturdy ound-backed wooden chairs,

landlady's person without a culver of
a spindle. Everything about Abbott
seemed too carefully ordered-he
pinned for the woods-some messy
bank sloping to a purling stream.

mouth became as the granite door of

Why She Was Quitting.

A famous Ohio humorist says that n
new rich family in Cleveland. who
were beginning to put on lot of airs,
hired a colored girl just arrived from
the south 70 act as their serving maid
Her new mistress insisted that all
meals should be served in courses.
Even when there wasn't much TO eat
it was brought TO the table in courses.
At the end of week the girl threw
mp her job. Being pressed for a rea.
son for quitting so suddenly. she said:

he was in no dewy-morning mood. He
understood what those wise mods had
meant. and he was in no frame of
mind for such wisdom He meant to
go far. far away from the boarding
house, from the environment OF
schools and school-boards, from Little
burg with it's atmosphere of ridiculous
gossip.
OF course he could have gone just
as far, if he had not chosen the direc-
ton of Blubb's RifIie-but he had to
take some direction. He halted before
he came in sight of the stream: il
Fran had a mind to fish with Simon
Jefferson, he would not spoil her sport.
He found a comfortable log where
he might STUDY under the gracious
sky He did not learn much-tbere
seemed a bird in every line.
When he closed his books, scarcely
knowing why, and decided to ramble.
it was with no intention of seeking
Fran Miss Sapphire might have
guessed what would happen. bur in
perfect innocence, the young man
strolled. seeking a grassy by-road. sell
dom used, redolent of brush, tree. vine,
dust-laden weed. 1t was road where
the sun seemed almost a stranger; a
road gone to sleep and dreaming of
the feet Of stealthy Indians, Of noisy
settlers, and skillful trappers. All
such fretful bits of life had the old
road drained into oblivion. and now it
seemed to call on Abbott to share
their fate, the fate of the forgotten.
But the road lost it's mystic mean
ing when Abbott discovered Fran.
Suddenly it became only roadway.
it became nothing. 1t seemed that the
sight of Fran always made wreckage
of the world about her.
She was sitting in the Gregory bug
gy, but. most surprising OF all. there
was no horse between the shafts--no
horse was to be seen, anywhere. Best
of all, no Simon jefferson was visible.
Fran in the buggy--that was all. Slow
travelling. indeed. even for this sleepy
old road!
Not in hurry, are you?"
I've arrived" Fran said. in un-
friendly tone.
Are you tired of fishing, Franz"
Yes. and Of being fished."
! She had closed the door in his face,
but he said-as through the keyhole-
Does that mean for me TO go away?"
You are a pretty good friend. Mr.
Ashton" she said with a curl OF her
! lip. Il mean-when we are alone"
while we're together. and after

Exactly as I'm looking at you. that's
the way / feel. Stand there as long
/ as you please"
Il don't want to stand moment
longer. want to sit with you in the
buggy. Please don't be $3.50 old!'

CHAPTER XIV.
In sure.Enouoh Country.

One morning, more than month
after the closing days OF school. Alb
bolt Ashton CHANGED to look from his
bedroom window as Hamilton Greg
ory's buggy, with Fran In it, passed.
Long fishing-poles projected from the
back of the buggy.
BY Fran's side, Abbott discovered a
man. True 1t was only" Simon JET.
ferson; still, for all his fifty years
and his weak heart. it was not as If
1t were some pleasant, respectable
woman-say Simon's mother. How
ever. old ladies do not sit upon creek
banks.
The thought of sitting upon the bank
of a stream suggested to Abbott that
IL would be agreeable to pursue his
studies in the open air. He snatched
up some books and went below.
On the green veranda lie paused to
inhsle the fragrance OF the roses. I'm
