ped for q sun.nap. But Spotty the
Turtle had kept right on going. and
now here he was the first one to find
the cause Of the trouble in the Laugh
Ing Brook. DO you wonder that he
felt proud and very happy?
Keep at 1t, that's the way,
Spotty won the race that day
But now Spotty was beginning to
wish that some Of the others would
hurry UP. He wanted to know wha,
they thought. He wanted to talk 1t
all over. 1t was such surprisink
thing that he could make neither
head nor tail Of 1t himself. and he
wondered what the others would say.
And now the long black shadows were
and II they didn't get there pretty
soon they would have to wait until
the next day.
So Spotty the Turtle found good
place to spend the night. and then he
sat down to watch and wait. Right
before him was the thing which he
had found and which puzzled him SO.
What was it? Why 1t was q wall.
Yes. sir. that is Just what it was-a
wall Of logs and sticks and mud. and
it was right across the Laughing
and narrow. OF course the Laughing
, Brook could laugh no longer; there
couldn't enough water to get through
the wall of logs and sticks and mud
to make even the beginning of a
laugh. Spotty wondered what lay be-
hind that wall, and who had built it,
| and what for and lot of other things.
And he was still wondering when he
| fell asleep.

Tho Old Town Revisited.


I've just come from the little old
town :.
That / !. proudly left. one day,
When nay cheeks were smooth. with
youthful down,
And my troubles were far away.
I used to think that the people there
Were foolish to be content
To sit In the doors when the days
were fair,
Not knowing what progress meant.
used to think Of the restful place
AS At for the old alone,
For the weaker ones who had quit the
race Is
And were willing to be unknown;
found no hope in its peaceful shade.
No chance in its empty streets,
Removed from arteries Of trade
Where the pulse Of traffic beats.
LEFT the little old town behind
To sleep as 1t long had slept,
And I iourneyed far in the, world to
Where Merits rewards were kept
And often / dreamed Of the days to
And the wonder that they would
Ger the honors the world was to grant
For having emerged from there.
used to think Of the ones who stayed
with pity did not speak;
thought Of them with their trousers
frayed,
And never q goal to seek;
I wondered why they had never dared
70 venture to wider spheres.
And often thought Of the ills they
AS they wasted the precious years.
I have Just come back from the little
To hurry and hope and strive.
Where a few are cheered- and the
And only the strong survive:
. And however gain or whatever !
shall deem that day the best
When finally I may go gladly back
To the little old town to rest.
