little conviction in her voice and
Lillian uttered crisp command.

He began hoeing where Danny saw
all those little Loles. He was really

stopped and picked up something

wondered what it was he was tossing
something over that fell close to
Danny. You should have seen Danny
scamper. Little by little Danny's
courage returned until finally he
crept back to see what it was that
had fallen there. He found some
thing that at once reminded him of
| the fresh water clans he had seen
Jerry Muskrat opening and eating,
only this was white. The shell had
been broken, and that was why the
man had thrown it away Danny
could see inside that broken shell.
There was something that remind

Danny stole out to see where the
man had been digging. He found a
number of small things like the one
that had been thrown upbeside him,
only these were not broken. He saw
one of them push a long neck out
of one end and presently squirt
water. Just then along came Tattler

Are those clams?" Danny asked
rather stupidity.
"Of course, they're clams!" re-
piled Tattler. See, there is one with
his shell partly open. If you want
to get pinched good and hard, just
put a paw in there"
mo, thank you" replied Danny.
and even as he spoke that clam clos
ed it's shell and withdrew the long
neck inside. II suppose" said Dam
ny, that if Jimmy Skunk were
here he would say that those were
fish"
IL don't know what Jimmy would
say" replied Tattler, but clans are
called shellfish. There are several
kinds of Clans This one is called
the Soft-shelled clam and is found
mostly in sand and mud of such
places as this"
"Huh!" said Danny. Il don't call
that shell soft You see. Danny
had been trying his teeth on a bit
of shell that he had found.
Tattler chuckled. well, it may
not be soft, but it breaks lot easier
than the shells of some other CLANS"
