NNE day Tommy Turtle decided to
" make a trip inland. away from
the Big Pond, and see what he could
And. Tommy crawled away up the
bed of small stream filled with
cobblestones. and after a while. when
he had gone some distance, he heard
some one moving about in the bushes
nearby. Tommy crawled quietly up un-
/ til he could peep through the roots of a
tree, and there he saw Pippo the
Squirrel busy shoveling chestnuts into
his winter storehouse.
Tommy knew that Pippo the Squir-
rel was the very same Pippo who had
stolen Father Pop Turtles canta-
loupes the year before. and so Tommy
crawled back out of sight a little
way, and then came walking out into
the open, as big as life, and making
as much noise as possible. When he
saw Pippo the Squirrel. Tommy
stopped short and pretended to be
very much surprised.
why, Heigh-o. Brother Pippo,"
said Tommy. How came a nice man
like you to be out such a bad day.

"Gettin' ready for a hard winter. this
time. How's all yo' family" he
asked.
Fine as a fiddle" Tommy replied,
as he watched.
Brother Pippo lighted up a pipe
made of a straw and an acorn.
"Seein' YOU" said Tommy, puts me
in mind of something heered
Brother Tuckey Buzza'd sayin' about
you yistiddy."
What did he say" asked Brother
Pippo.
Don't like to tell you." replied
Tommy.
"Oh. go on" Pippo urged.

The coloring of the brook trout is
often known as the "bloom of the
trout" His back is marked with
deep olive and black, the sides are
spotted red, and the fms have dark
orange mottlings.
The Pacific coast trout is a more
slender fish, with red spots on the
back and sides. The larger specI-
mems are two or three feet long.
The eggs which the brook trout
lays in the fall do not hatch till the
water becomes warm in spring. A
full-grown brook trout measures
about foot and one-half long.
Trout may be caught only in the
season allowed by law.

Fatty's Sacrifice.
The fat Boy Scouts weight was load,
But he plodded along on the road;
He felt like a pIker
To be a poor hiker,

The fat Boy Scouts weight was a load,
But he plodded along on the road;
He felt like a pIker
To be poor hker,
Perseverance was part OF his code.
TROOP of the Boy Scouts was
i just starting on an all-day hike.
The sun shone warmly, a breeze
stirred the leaves over their heads,
and flowers nodded their bright coll
ored faces at the boys as they passed.
At first the scouts stopped often
to admire the flowers. An unfamiliar
note of a bird attracted them away
from the beaten path. But soon they
discovered they could not stop so
often and still make their destination
by noon. They kept to the road, hik-
ing rapidlyeto make up for lost time.
From the start Fatty had not
wandered away as often as the
others. He could not vault over a
fence, dash into the woods and come
tearing back with flower or fern
in his hand without completely losing
his breath in the process. This was
his first long hike. He was deter
mined to stick to the bitter end. And
poor Fatty! Already he knew that
the end would be bitter.
He was not used to walking SO far.
His feet hurt him terribly. He could
feel a blister being slowly rubbed
on his heels. The sun beat down un-
mercifully upon his head, giving him
headache. Two little streams of
perspiration trickled down the side
of his face and into his collar. He
groaned as he stumbled along over
the rough path. How could be ever
stand six more miles? And then
there would be the trip back home!
If he could only think up some excuse,
so he could ride home. But no, he
wasn't going to give out and be the
laughing stock of the troop for the rest
of the season.
How you coming, Fatty?" Bill.
side him.
"Oh, fine" Not for the world
would Fatty have had any one know
he was not enjoying the hike. Great
sport. isn't it?'
Kind of rough walking. Ow-w."
Suddenly Bill grabbed Fatty by the
arm. his husky tan cheeks turning
white. He had given his ankle a
wrench.
They were lucky enough to be near
a house and soon succeeded in getting
the farmer to drive Bill back to town.
The Scout leader looked at the boys.
Some one ought to offer to go along
with Bill"
None of them wanted to give up
their hike. But they remembered
their pledge. Til CO." they all of
fercd. Fatty alone remained silent
He was afraid to say anything les;
they detect the longing in his voice.
But Bill settled. it. Il want Fatty"
he demanded.
With one look at the fellows Fatty
bravely climbed into the car and rode
off. He hoped that he, didn't look
too happy.
Its a dirty shame" the fellows all
agreed. ITS his first hike and you
could see how disappointed he was.
Why, he was the only one of us that
didn't offer to CO."
