RED TIME TALES
OBY CLARA INGRAM JUDSON -
Terry Turtle Finds The Loe

AFTER THE great log had fioated down
the stream and fastened itself in the
bank just in front of Mr.. Caters
cave, many more logs fioated down
that way too, for lumbermen were
hard at work In the forests up
stream. But instead Of loosening the
log, as you might fear. they only
rammed 1t deeper and deeper into the
muddy bank. So that when the lum-
bermen themselves passed that way.
loosen It to take II on with them.
They had to leave 1t there in Mr..
Caters undisputed possession.
OF course such an event as that
made quite a stir in the river.
A great CARR fish, with dozens of
little CARR fish swimming at safe dis
lance, SO as TO safely hear all that
might be said. swan up and eyed tho
log and the alligator who dozed upon
1t. And when, after a long summing.
the alligator slipped back into the
water, the CARR fish. keeping very
safe distance from those great Jaws,
Of course, remarked, That's a very
nios log you have. Mr.. Cater; just
such log as you have been want
ing"
Mr.. Cater blinked knowingly and
agreed. "A very nice log. Just what
I've been wanting. Very true" For,
he thought, It does no harm to agree
with Carr fish and perhaps then he
will swim little closer next time.
But fortunately the CARR fish didn't
swim closer, he was far too wise and
too old for such foolishness! Indeed,
yes!
Day after day, old Mr.. Cater crawled
out of his cave and onto the log and
there he lay as still as-as still as the
log Itself! And all the creatures, big
and little, got so used to seeing him
lie there doing that they thought
no more about him-which was ex-
actly what Mr.. Cater wanted to hap.
pen. Oh, he Is a wise old fellow.
there ia no doubt of that!
And then one day, when Mr. Cater
had become quite used to his log. and
his summing on 1t, another creature
climbed onto the log and started sun
ming himself too-the very idea!
And that bold and reckless other
creature was none other than Terry

want that match and they are not going
to see this pugilist, scared or not scar
ed, beat them out of it.
I'VE have all the proof in the world
that Darcy agreed to O'Sullivan's
making matches for him. 1t is certain
a verbal agreement VIII hold good.
We've taken It UP with attorneys and
we're going to make it stick.
HE'S GOT TO FIGHT.
Personally 1 believe Darcy would
rather be fighting the Germans than
go into the ring with Mike, but that
makes no diffol ence. He's got TO
fight"
Criticism after criticism was heapcd
on the head OF Darcy today. Followers
OF the ring game were vehement in de-
nouncing the action of the pugilist in
cutting away from O'Sullivan.
II was pointed out her that O'Sulli-
van has been plunged into a bad mess
in Australia by taking Darcy away.
The boxer was minor at the time and
was influenced by O'Sullivan. Darcy
could return without fear, but O'Sulli-
