JOHNNY DARTER
(BoleoSOma Nigrum)


w WITHOUT doubt Johnny can
M furnish more entertainment
v at little expense and trouble
than any pet I know Of. In
an aquarium he keeps every
other occupant on the move. In his
playful attitude of mind he will nip
tadpole's tail off and scamper away In
glee. Try to catch him and you Will
realize at once what swift swimmer
| he is.
He can even climb up stem OF
| water plant in the aquarium, and the
! way he crouches and seems to fly
through the water is only one of the
many unusual things he does. Should
you add few snails to the watery wa
| terry apartment, it adds both to your
! interest and to the uncertainty OF the
snairs peace of mind. I have watched
Johnny bide his time holding on to
slender stem and when the snail eau
| tiously pushed out horn seen Johnny
make lightninglike dart and snap u
off He will seize his prey by the head
| If that happens to be the part OF the
| bod: his own jaws are facing.
Johnny really has a strangely SNAPPED
body for fish; his head and shoulders
are the portly part of him. His BODY
| is long and tapers toward the tall, ano
along his lateral line there is row OF
olive-brown "W'S" worked out with MS
| lovely scales, just like mosaicS following
well designed pattern. His fms are
short, and the first dorSal fin has nine
spines. He is soft golden brown with
dark freckles. In the Spring his head
is jet black, as If he had leaned too far
over the ink well and fallen in. Later
this color gives way to straw color.
One reason that he is so fascinating Is
the way his eyes are placed. Almost on
the top of his head, the bright dancing
eyes stare at you. He will turn his head
as If for better look, then dart away,
as If satisfied he would know you again
II you should meet face to face. Some
times he will come right back to be
sure he has good picture" then you
see how big and clear his eyes really
are. The pupils are black and sur
rounded by glowing, pale yellow line
at the inner edge of the green iris. Be
sides, the pupil is set in the eye so that
the iris is wider below than above, and
the result is-Johnny has very super
cilious look, extremely "toploftical."
Furthermore, he appears to wink at you,
and, with his short snout, wide mouth
and saucy attitude, he is decidedly frog
like looking and a finished actor.
He walks on his pectoral fins which
are large and sturdy. The ventral pair
is situated close to them. When taking

His tail is most efficient member, and,
almost straight across the end he uses
it as a pusher. The front dorsal fin

Susan, politely. But she was rather appalled, at the prospect of walking eight blocks with young Lampman who thought woman's place was in the home. He and Aunt Jessie would get along rather well.
 However, Ben spared her any more harangues. He talked desuI- torily of music, of what he wanted to do. He dreamed of having an orchestra of his own like White mans" Susan could sympathize with this.
 ''I think that would be wonder full" she told him enthusiastical- ly.
 Do you. honestly" He was al- most pathetic in his desire for ap- proval.
 Yes. do" And then Susan told him about her struggles with the demon, shorthand and her fear that she would never conquer what Aunt Jessie called 'the business world.''
 Ben Lampman growled. "Stfcls with it. You'll be successful, I can see t hat. Don't mind what I said tonight about girls working. know that's behind the: times. From what you tell me you've got a hard row to hoe with this aunt of yours. You've got to strike out for yourself
 Susand flushed and stammered Loyalty, Aunt Jessie Is all right She just doesn't understand Now they were at her doorstep The little house looked shroude6 and secretive. For a minute Sn. san was terribly nervous. Wha' if Aunt Jessie should be waiting up, should call out, Come straigh in this minute. Susan Carey!" Sht had been known to do that. Hastily she held out her hand "It was awfully nice of you tt ! bring me home" she murmured Thanks so much.'' Ben Lampman grasped the hand feverishly. II want to come and see you sometime" he said.

All this was rather hard on Susan who was l 9, dark and hand some in tragic way, rather after the manner of Joan Crawford. Her eyes were said to be like. La Crawford's, in their depth and size. .The girls face had the strong. clearcut, yet utterly feminine con- tour of the motion picture stars. Susan's figure was lovely. too slim and nicely curved in the right places. Although how anyone could be expected to look attractive in Cousin Rue's season before-last blue serge suit Susan didn't know.
 The girl tried to be optimistic but sometimes when she went to the movies and saw the adorable gowns the film stars wore she came home feeling cheated. She could never, never hope to wear anything but a e9.95 frock from Weegman's basement. Aunt Jessie thought there was no place like Weeg- mans basement.
 Susan. looked up from her rev. erie to find the handsome boy at the next table gazing at her. Odd for that good looking, superior chan to be attending business school! He was Mister Dunbar" t6 the class and Helen had whis- pered the day before that he had been at Harvard. had been dropped and that his father was making him Ego in for business in a big way" - Helen had explained, important be- cause she knew. And Susan had glanced again at the husky. tall young man with interest. It wasn't often she had the opportunity to see such a youth at close range. All the boys who grew up in Aunt Jessie's neighborhood were learn ing to be plumbers or driving laundry wagons or doing some- thing equally exciting. Young Mfr Dunbar seemed prince from a strange land. Susan liked to lie- ten to the rumble of his deep voice when he read his notes back to the dapper Miss Allen. It seemed falntly ridiculous that . young man who had attended Junior proms. whe had played football and made the college crew should be transmitting, "Your letter of the asnth instant received and con- tcnts noted" to shorthand teach- e'i susan squeezed the tears back and protendcd not 10 know that Robert Dunbar was etaring at her.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-19

Just the same. his interest made the girls heart unaccOuntably lighter. She set to work again with the pot-hooks and dots. She would conquer this wretched book! She would!
 When she went home that even- ing she was able for the first time to endure without flinching the packed street car with it's swaying mass of sticky, tired hu- manity. The car ploughed west, stopping at almost every corner, swaying. jerking, changing. But Susan hardly noticed. She was absorbed in dream of her own a dream in which tall, fair, rud- dy young man with enormous blue eyes played the hero's part.
 Aunt Jessie spoke to her twice at supper before Susan looked up guiltily.
 T didn't hear what You said.'' she stammered.
 Aunt Jessie looked annoyed. Prim she was, 50 odd, her gray hair done pompadour in the fashion of her vanished youth. .@
 Don't see how your mind can ever be on your work, the way you dawdle at things" Aunt Jes- sic said sharply. "I asked you if you wanted some more potatoes T
 Susan shook her head dreamily.
 Nothing but a shadow, anyway that's what you are," scoldcd Aunt Jessie. You girls nowadays and your dieting!"
 Susan looked down at her slim curves and laughed. No need for her to diet. She weighed 11S pounds. She was tall. too. and that helped. It was best to be tall this year df trailing skirts and what the magazines called 'the romantic frock." Not that Susan owned any such! Her best frock was the last years organdie that Aunt Jes. sic had let down. It had been su- sans class day dress. It was pink and had huge bertha collar. Su. san adored it. 1t was the nearest thing to a sure-enough party dress she had ever owned.
 After she had helped Aunt Jessie with the dishes the girl flew to her room to see if the pink frock hnd been ironed. Aunt jessie had promised to have it ready.
 But no. there wss no pink dream of a dreee hanging in the marrow little closet. HiHAn's heart sank Mary Ruth OIinra was to call fol her at eight and hero t was hail

grasped his hands and pulled him to his feet. Back to the piano, you" she sang gaily. "If that's he best you can do for Susan Carey you'd better pound out some more music and let her dance."
 One of the boys Susan had known in high school, Eddie Will kfns, came up and claimed her. Susan felt fool. What an uncom- fortable sort of person young Lampman was! Eddie muttered in her ear that Ben was kind of a socialist or something" A freak, Susan decided. But rather inter- esting freak. And how he could play!
 As the evening wore on Susan's eyes frightened and the flush in her cheeks deepened. She was good to be true. At II o'clock she and a colored woman were be- ginning to serve supper, but Su- san dashed into the bedroom and 1OtlACSCd AcI wraps lTOIH the mountain of coats on the big bed.

 Don't bother," begged Susan She had visions of a long walk home with a bored young man whc would be annoyed at being dragged | away from, the feast. When she arrived at the front door she found Ben Lampman there, hat in hand. Rose said you were going-do you mind % he suffered.
