Billy Whiskers
By Frances Trego Montgomery.

You remember yesterday we left MT Blackburn telling about the big turtle which had been lost out of his wagon.
 T did not know whether l had jolt ed him out as l drove along, or whether he had deliberately crawled to the edge of the buggy and dropped himself over,' Mr- Black kburn went on to say Had he done the latter, he must have taken a great chance with his life, as the fall from the high buggy was enough to crack his shell did he happen to land on stone At any rate, the turtle was gone, and gave him no more thought, especially as my tomatoes were let alone for several days.
 When walking one day in the wools about half a mile from my house l stumbled over something in the path which I took to be a stone among the dead leaves. But when ] it began to move I saw it was a tur- tie. True to my habit of looking at all trutles, I picked this one up and found he was my old enemy, the to- nato thief So I carved the date in his shell and carried him along with me until I crossed a stream, then set him down and watched to see if he would attempt to swim across and come to my tomatoes. or if my finding
 
 '"To make a long story short, he was not frightened in the least and as if to defy me, he appeared three days afterWard in my garden, not alone, but with two other turtles. one of which I took to be his mate and the other, being much smaller, l think was one of his sons Well, if you will believe me, that old turtle defied me and no matter how often I carried him out of my garden, he aI- ways came back.
 "But one day I got really angry at him and picked him up and put parabory to making him up into tur- tie soup.''
 You don't mean to tell me- said one of the hunters, that common, everyday woods and water turtles are good to eat ?''
 Certainly, and though their meat may not be as tasty as the tortoise, still they have as many kinds within their shells as the big ocean turtles have. You have read. suppose, that the meat of turtles consists of fish, flesh and fowl? At any rate, we made that old turtle up into soup and il was fine, l can tell you, for the white meat white and juicy as that of a chicken"
 Ding-a-ling-nng!
 There goes the bell, which means we must turn our attention from tur- ties to ducks"
