How the Carpenters Cut on the
Bridge.

Au6Ss
1t was now dark, in the early ven
ing, as Dick and Billy Otter and Tom
and Jerry Beaver began cutting off
that little fallen tree which lay across
Murmuring Brook, and which was
used as a bridge by all the little peo-
pie of Mirror Pond and the Beaver
Meadows, in their travels into the
Great Forest.
The four swimmers had floated a
big log under the bridge, and Tom
Beaver whispered: Dick, you and
Billy please hold this log under the
bridge. and Jerry and I will get or
top of it, and begin to cut off this
bridge for Mr.. Fox to walk overt"
And it was a wonderful sight to see
Tom and Jerry Beaver stand up on
their hind legs on that log. and cut
that little tree in two in the middle.
After the Beavers had worked some
time, the little fallen tree which was
used as a bridge, was almost cut off,
and Tom Beaver whispered: "Dick
Otter, o come and see when we
should stop chopping; for we must
not cut the bark on the upper side!"
And Dick Otter left his brother to
hold the floating log below, while he
vent up or the bridge to look after
the bark. The four workers kept very
busy, and finally they had the bridge
cut in w places. while the bark on
the upper side was in perfect condi-
ton.
When their work was done, Dick
Otter whispered to his brother, "Now
let 60 that floating log under the
