They both swan slowly about in the

Johnny.

"What makes you say that?"

ITO be sure did," said Tommy,
''and that is quite true. She has two
hands, but she only strokes me with
one at a time. She chooses between
her two hands and then decides to put
one into the water. At least that is
what l suppose she does. Oh, what a

"Ah, l thought l would have little

Tommy grinned, funny, fshy grim
