The reformatory removal commission
after weeks of consideration finally
reached the conclusion that the removal

Tinker Bob
THE KING GOES
ON A

Tinker Bob went on his way to the
river where he expected to see Three
Legs. the Muskrat, and Billy Mink,
and II possible straighten. out their
trouble SOS the Ferry could run.
What ever prompted Billy Mink to
act in such a manner was unknown to
the King. Jealousy, was all he could
think about for he knew that Billy
was full Of that.
He reached the opening near the
bend in the river and there came to
his eyes a peculiar sight. He had
asked himself not a few times where
Chief Perky the ~porcupine was. Out
in the midst of the opening near the
edge Of the river he ,spied Chief
Perky. He was not moving. OF
course that was nothing. strange for
he lever did like to move and when
he did it was with such a slow move
ment that. it was scarcely noticeable
to be seen. What does all this
mean? ?" said the King to himself. II
can't see why Chief Perky should be
out here alone.".
Then as quick AZ a wink there ap-
peared another creature. He circled
about Chief Perky stopping at inter
walls to look about. At Tinker Bob
looked closely he saw it was Billy
Mink. Evidently Billy was trying to
find a way of attack but he made sure
to keep a good distance from Chief
HPorky's tail. That was wise on his
part for If he ave came in contact
with that tail full Of Thorn Quilts he'd
be sorry he'd ever met the porcuptne.
"1'l get you yet" Tinker Bob heard
