She aroused herself with start and

Dog had never been fishing in all his
life.
"Oh! I'll show you how TO fish,
said Bennie Dog, looking very impor-
tant and trotted along with Tommie
Cat; but of course you know whales
cannot be caught every day, and 1t
takes a long time sometimes to get
even bite"
What kind of bait do you use to
catch a whale, Bonnie Dog"
"Bait?" asked Bonnie Dog, looking
very wise. Let me think; it was so
long ago that have almost forgotten !;
what do you use for fist"
Il use worms. l have some here in
this can" said Tommie Cat.
ooh. I guess worms will do as we'll
as anything" said Bennie Dog;
whales are not very particular about
bait"
So Tommie Cat baited the hook and
threw it into the water, and then he
said, Il guess you had better take the
pole, Bennie Dog. because you know
more about whale fishing than I do.

three-pound fish"

that weighed six pounds, and | have
heard of them weighing twelve

"A whale. twelve pounds:" said
Tomime Cat, looking very hard at
Bonnie Dog. Why. all the pictures
ever saw of whales looked as big
as a house"
Did you ever see a live whale?"
asked Bonnie Dog, looking into the
water intensely. ..=@-
No, ! have only seen pictures"
confessed Tommie Cat.
II don't think whales are biting to-
day. said Bonnie Dog, after a while,
hoping Tommie Cat would say they
would come tomorrow; and then he
would see to it that Tommie Cat did
not find him, and so get out of having
to confess he never saw a whale or
caught one; but Just then Bonnie Dog
felt the pole pull. and when he tried
to pull ii out of the water, he found it
was too heavy.
Bonnie Dog tugged at the pole, and
Tommie Cat watched him with wide
open eyes.
Il guess you will have to help with
this whale; it must be one of the big
ones, said Bonnie Dog.
Tommie Cat grabbed the end of the
pole. and both looked at the end in

HELEN
WARREN

Warren, with his unerring instinct
for location, made the shortest cut
for the main street-St. Joseph.
Small shops with French names on
the windows and foreign-looking
goods; few. bakery lunch rooms
but no cafes or restaurants.
We'll, I'll be blamed if ! can spot
the chophouses here"
Knowing his aversion for making
inquiries, Helen stopped to buy some
souvenir post cards. AS the man
made change she asked about the
restaurants
You won't find many in Quebec.
The liquor laws very strict here.
Only the hotels can get a license-so
that cuts out the restaurants. Vail
quits, two blocks down, is about the
best-but it's in bakery
"a bakery lunch!" snorted Warren,
as they went out
And l. thought Quebec would be
full of quaint inns and chophouses,"
bemoaned Helen: Look at that gabled
!! roof-doesn't that look like an old
English tavern?'
Happens to be plumbers" scott
ed Warren, when they drew nearer
the quaint, low-broved shop with it's
small-paned windows. There's Vail
hquit's over there. Well, we've got to
eat somewhere"
A large. ornately-frosted cake was
the center attraction of Valiquit's win
dow. Inside they made their way
past glass counters filled with rolls
and French pastries to the restaurant
in the rear.
Though the food was not bad, it
| was cherries, co!orless dinner.
Warren apsed into his grumpy ST
lence and Helen was too discouraged
to talk. Even the fact that the check
was absurdly small did not cheer her
When they came out it was raining
Warren raised the umbrella and
scowled down the wet, cleaning
street.
We'll. we can't trudge around in
this. Here. let's take that car and
see what's doing: Ought to strike
some theatres farther on"
Through the rain-blurred windows
they gazed out on narrow, foreign
looking streets. There were no the
aires. The shops grew smaller and
cheaper, and soon they turned off into
residence street, dismally dark, for
only faint streaks of light shone
| through the closed shutters.
"Well, this don't look very prom
ising," muttered Warren.
Half mile further out the car
turned, and finally brought them back
to ST. Annes Square, within block
| of their room.
Might as we'll go back and write
some letters. No use humping
around this God-forsaken place-no
restaurants, no theatres-not even a
NOVEL"
Dear, that isn't fair-we haven't
begun to see Quebec, It's just be-
cause it's raining. and we don't know
our way about"
When they reached their lodging,
the whole house was dark. Stumb-
lingly they CROPPED their way through

heads on the end of the line.
Neither of them stopped to look at
what they had caught; they scram-
bled to their feet in a jiffy, and away
they ran as fast as if the whole whale
family were after them, never stopping
until they were safe behind a fence
in field.
Both of them felt very silly, and
did not speak for minute or so; then
Tommy Cat said: What did you run
for? He'll get away"

much as I did; you better go back
and take him off the hook. l don't

one; you take him off the hook: you
know more about them than do
"I'll go back with YOU" said Ben
ME Dog; but it is your whale, SO you
must unlock him.
Back they went and very cautiously
approached the place where the pole
was lying on the ground
They did not see anything at first,
and when Benine Dog and Tommie
Cat looked at the end Of the line and
looked at each other in very silly
way, for on the end of the line was an
old coat, and not a whale at all.
We'll, that is the way to catch a

RUST A MENACE
TO PINE TREES

New Brunswick, N. j., Dec. 5.-Dr.
Melville T. Cook, Of the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station, at
tended a conference on the blister
rust Of the white pine at Albany, N.
Y, when large number of States
were represented and the progress of
the disease and methods for control
discussed.
This disease was introduced from
Europe in 1909 and is now very abun-
dant throughout the greater part of
the New England States and New
York east of the Hudson River. There
are scattered infections in other parts
of New York, in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. and also in Wisconsin
and Minnesota.
The disease is very severe on the
white pine. but also attacks other
five-needled pines 1t cannot pass
from pine to pine, but passes from
the pine to gooseberries and currants
and thence back to pines.
New Jersey owners of white pine
plantations ore advised to be on their
guard for this disease and those who
contemplate planting white pines are
advised to do so with great care
Healthy pine plantations, free from
gooseberries and currants, are not in
danger.

ELECTRICAL
XMAS TREE

The Christmas tree is the central
feature of every Christmas celebra-
tion, especially where there are little
children. The trees and other holi-
day decorations are usually flimsy,
and when wax candles are used to
light the trees there is always the
possibility of disaster. Thanks to
electric lighting, decorative outfits
are now available for the adornment
of trees that are danger free. They
greatly please the little people, while
affording relief of mind to the grown
ups.
Electric decorative sets for Christ
mas trees are now furnished with a
plug, which may be attached to any
electric light socket, and leading
from this is an insulated wire with
branches to the small electric lamp
sockets. This enables one to carry
the wires along the branches of the
tree in such a way as to completely
conceal the wires when the tree is
lighted. The small lamp bulbs are
made in the form of birds, nHtsI
fruits, toys, animals, snow-men and
even Santa himself
These decorative lamps add imJ
mensely to the beauty Of the tree and
the use of electricity permits the
lighting of the tree at the beginning
of the Christmas season and keeping
the illumination up every evening
through the holidays. Plain lamps
may be had in the Christmas colors
or in the various forms dear to the
youngsters hearts.
