PLATING .

Nonsense, cried the bear, the

a thing?'

think of a plan to save his dinner,
then he said cheerily: Nevertheless,

Il am very hungry sighed the
bear Brother Fox, because of the
friendship we bear each other, will
you not take me to that hole, and
teach me how to catch some fish,
"'Gladly, will l do that answered
the cunning fox; and he led the bear
out of the forest and down to the edge
of the long lake. The bear would have
liked hole cut close to the bank, but
the fox slid out on the lakes CLASSY
surface, and the hungry bear must
needs follow him.
Here's the very spot cried the
fox, when the two were far out on the
ice The wind is cold, brother Bear,
but you won't mind that, when you
are carrying home your string of fish.
Then with his spear the fox cut a
small hole in the thick ice, while the
bear smacked his lips as he thought
of the feast to come.
"'But how shall | catch the fish
now that the hole is made? l have
no spear. Pray let me take yours

the fox. You can't catch fish such

you feel a bite, pull it up, That's the
whole trick; but remember the fish
are slow about biting in this weather

his own magnificent brush for empha

biously at the hole.
1T was difficult moment, no beal
of any spirit could hold himself less
enduring than a fox, besides he was
becoming more ravenous every mo
ment, yet the bear hesitated to let his
tbushy tail down into those dark wa

WET WASH LAUNDRY

We'll, suit yourself brother Bear
said the fox, shifting his load to his
other shoulder L must be off, the
days are growing short, and my home
is at the other end of the forest. Good
fishing to YOU
He slid and jumped across the ice
and reached the bank in a few mo-
ments, but not before the bear had
decided to obey his commands.
THE fox stifled a chuckle as he
looked back and beheld the bear with
paws firmly braced, beginning his
vigil. Goodbye, brother Fox he call
ed, Let us hope my luck is as good
as yours. He could not hear the foX's
answer, if answer he made, for the
cunning creature was, fleeing as fast
as his legs would carry him into
the deep forest.
THE sun looked down upon the bear
seated on the ice of that lonely lake,
but its rays held no warmth. Some
gulls flew by far overhead, but they
only Knocked him with their shrilI
cries. The minutes crawled into
hours, even through his thick coat, the
bear could feel the biting of the wind,
and he began to wish he had never
met the fox and his string of fish.
The cunning rascal. has deceived
me. There are no fish in this lake, he
caught those he had in some pool i'm
the forest. Oh, could | catch him, I'd
hot l.;
tricks! III waste no more time here.'
So saying he heaved his huge body up
from the ice, but to his horror the
half of his beautiful tail was fastened
firmly in the hole.
In vain he tugged, in vain he tried
to scrape the ice with his hind feet;
there was no denying the fact that he
was caught fast in it. Too proud to
call for help from any of the forest
animals, the miserable fellow pulled
and pulled. At last his efforts were
rewarded and he stood freed from
his dreadful plight, but alas, leaving
half of his tail in the hole
Home he went to his den, and fin
| ished the once despised honey, which
he had stolen from the wild bees; as
for the fox, every time he thought of
the bear, that night, he rolled over
on his warm bed of leaves and laugh
ed and laughed.
From that day, all bears have short
tails, but they have never relinquished
their love for fish, Notwithstanding
