Cob Coon used to watch Blackie
Bass, too. Having better eyes than
Marty Mink, he'd climb into the will
low over the pool and peer down into
the water over Blackie's head. He,
too, was puzzled, for, like Marty, he
found it impossible to make out
whether the long dark object was a
shadow, stone, or the fish he COW
eted.
Cob was hungry He hadn't had a
good fill since winter and corn was
just being planted. He did love fish,
especially bass, and he made up his
mind to find out what the object was,
so he watched and watched, same as
Marty did, only he watched moonlight
nights, while Marty watched in the
daytime.
Blackie saw them both and chuck
led, although he chuckled quite sol
emily
1t was Marty who discovered that
the long dark object was a fish, be-
cause once when he was watching,

Blackie forgot and made a grab for a
snake-feeder over his head, and got
him. That settled it.
'I'll wait until tonight" said
Marty softly to himself, turning
homeward. "And then I'll have a
fishing party. I'll ask Sprinkle.

But Blackie Bass was thinking,
too. Blacllie was thinking. Now
I've gone and done it. | shouldn't

and I'll have to look out"
While he was thinking he forgo'
and wigglcd his tail. The sun had
gone down and the moon had come
up and Cob Coon was watching.

Iceland Gets First
First Glimpse Of King

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, July Is
The FIRST king of IcelanI set foot
for the first time yesterday on ice
landic soil The welcome extended
by the islanders to Christian X, of
Denmark, and also of Iceland, bore
a soIemnly ferveEt character; APP
parently more solemn than was an
ticipated by the gay, easy-going
crowd of Danish visitors who had
come over for the occasion.
The Icelanders themselves took
their kings visit tremendously, and
regarded it as an event of moment
Gus import. The majority of the
capitals $4,000 inhabitants spent the
day around the public school build
ing, which was made the official res
idocnc of the Danish royalties, and
rebaptized "the Castle" Raykjav-
TX S 100 automobiles were taxed
heavily carrying mportant-looking
uniformed and decorated dignitaries
to and from "the Castle"
At a gala dinner, Queen Alexan-
drine wore the Icelandic national
dress, the ~, 000-kroner gift of the
women of Iceland. With her neavy
golden crown, it made the queen
look like tapestry picture of vik-
ing queen of old Edda times.
Iceland being dry" the royal
toasts were honored in mineral wa
ters and lemonade.
In commemoration of his visit,
King Christian has Instituted new
decoration; the order of the Icelandic
Falcon.
Both the king and the queen will
visit historical Icelandic places on
horseback The king will be mount
ed on a beautiful white charger IA
hands high; the tallest horse in Ice
land.
Several excursions planned have
had to be abandoned owing to the
swollen state of the rivers.
