Billy Mink Finds Some Queer
Fences.

When something and strange you find,
Watch out. To danger be not blind.
The trouble with a great many peo-
pie is that they are needless. When
they find something new and strange
they forget everything but their Curl
osity. Because of this they walk right
straight into trouble. 1t happens over
and over again
But Billy Mink isn't this kind of
person. My, my, / should say not, He
never has been. If he had he would
have lost that beautiful brown coat of
his long ago, and there would be no
Billy Mink. Billy has his share of
curiosity. but with it he possesses a
great big bump of suspicion. When he
finds anything new and strange he
wants to learn all about it. But right
away he is suspicious of it.
!. After he had discovered the trap set
for him at the entrance to one of his
favorite holes in the Laughing Brook
and had fooled the trapper by getting
the fish the traDper had placed in that
hole, Billy went on up the Laughing
Brook to see what else he could dis
cover. Not very far above that place
there was a steep bank on each side cf
the Laughing Brook. Along the foot of
each bank was a narrow strip of level
ground between the bank and the wa
ter. You see. al this season of the
year the water in the Laughing Brook
was low.
When Billy came to this. place he
discove-ed something queer. 1t was
little fence. 1t ran from the foot O. the
bank straight out into the Laughing
Brook to, where the water became
deep. Midway in this little fence was
a gateway just big enough to slip
through comfortably. Billy looked
across to the other side of the Laugh
ing Brook. over there was another
little fence just like this one, and that
little fence had opening in il
HUH" said Billy. Huh, Those
fences are something new. They were
not here when l came down the
Laughing Brook yesterday | wonder
what they are for. If it were not for
those two little openings l would
have to either climb the bank or swim
around the ends of those fences, and
that would be bothersome. / can go
through that litNe opening there as
easy as rolling off a log. but I'm not
going to do it. There is something
going to do it. No, sir. Pm not
wrong about those fences. They look
