WHAT TOMMY FOX SAW IN
 BROAD BROOK.

Tommy Fox was nosing along the bank of Broad Brook. He was look. ing for somebody, and at last he spied him, Peeping through the bushes that grew along the stream Tommy Fox saw Paddy Muskrat swimming swiftly past him. Paddy was swimming under water, headed for little path that led Up the bank. It was his own special path by which he left the brook when he wanted to stroll out on the bank or dodge back into the woods.
 "Ah, hal" thought Tommy Fox. T know where he's going. I'll surprise him." So he stole little farther downstream and cronched among the reeds, where he could watch the path without being seen.
 Tommy waited patiently for some time. But Paddy AIuskrat did not appear. And growing tired of lying there. Tommy stole back to the water's edge again and peeped down into the pool below
 Paddy Muskrat was still swimming. He was swimming in a very strange fashion. On the surface, he went

round and round and round. And now and then he gave an odd Whlm- pering cry. which was his way of say ing. What fun!" Tommy Fox knew what Paddy't cry meant.
 .'I don't see any fun in that" he thought. "I call that stupid game You can do that all day and never gel anywhere" Then all at once he un- derstood what Paddy Muskrat wal doing. And Tommy only decided that Paddy was even more stupid than he had supposed. For Paddy Muskrat was chasing his own tail!
 Hell never catch his tail. l wish somebody would tell him that there's no end to that game. Then maybe he'd come out here on the bank" Such were the unspolen thoughts of Tommy Fcx as he watched the swim mer.
 And then somebody said aloud ex- actly what Tommy Fox was saying !n his mind. Sombody called to Paddy Muskrat:
 Try it on dry land! Then perhaps you'll have better luck"
 It was old MT. Crow that spoke. He was sitting fin a great willow that overh,ng the brook.
 Tommy Fox didn't wait to hear anything more. He turned:. and souirming his way back to the spot where he had waited near the path he lay there again with broad smile upon his crafty face.
 He didn't think that Mr. Crow had seen him. But that wise old gentle man had noticed q tuft of tall grass moving when there wasn't any wind to whip it. And then his sharp eye caught af1ash of red in the shadow of a young spruce.
 Cav! Cav! Cav" he cried hoarse- ly. Come over near this side of the brook, Paddy Muskrat. l want to speak to you"
 Tommy Fox knew then that MT. Crow had learned in some way that he was hiding beside Paddy Muskrat's path. There was no doubt that he intended to warn Paddy Muskrat of the danger. Nothing pleased the old gentleman more than 10 give the AldrQl MTeDPNeT Ut SdW lOliluly Y OA skulking about.
 We'll there was no sense in hts los ing his temper. So Tommystood up. stretched himself, and yawned, And then he strolled boldly to the bank and stared up in the most brazen way at old Mir. Crow.
 Good morning." he said. Advice must be cheap today"
 What do you mean by that?" sauawked the old gentleman. who lost hls temper on every possible oc- casion.
 You're giving it away" Tommy re- tcrted.
 DO yo,i want some?" Mir. Crow spluttered. "Here'sa bit for you. Go home and stop trying to catch Paddy Muskrat. He's safe under the bank of the brook"
 That's good place for him" Tommy Fox remarked pleasantly. If I had tail like his--fat and without hair on it-AI should want to hide

Marriage Ala ,Inln

In parts of China color plays an inn portant part in a woman's life, A woman may be married in black, but not in white. because white is the color of mourning. Yellow is the favorite color for the wedding gown because it Is the national color. There are certain colors forbidden to a matron, and others which girl must never wear until she mcrries. A Chinese girl gives away all the cos tunes she wore before her marriage because afterward she would not be permitted to make her appearance in them.
