shore OF course Reddy knew this and
1t worried him.
"If that fellow returns and looks
straight over here he can't help see
ing me-" thought Reddy.
Presently he heard the Dog coming
back, but this time he was on the
other shore. He had crossed the Laugh
ing Brook above the great rock and
now was working down along the shore

was glad then tnat he hadn't run as
he had been so tempted to- If he had
his trail surely would have been found.
On came that Dog, his nose to the
ground as he slowly and carefully
worked back and forth shifting at every
stick, log and stone in the hope Of
finding Reddy's scent. At last he was
right opposite the great rock. He came
to the edge of the water and looked
straight over to the Great Rock. He was
looking straight at Reddy and Reddy
HE must see me-" thought Reddy.
"He can't help seeing me. He must
be blind if he doesn't"
But that Dog wasn't blind. No, sir;
there wasn't thing the matter with
his eyes He did see Reddy, but he
didn't know that he saw him. Had
Reddy moved ever SO little that Dog
would have known what he was look
ing at. Reddy didn't move. 1t took
courage, the greatest courage, not to.
To lie there keeping perfectly STILL
knowing that his enemy was looking
straight at him. was one of the hardest
things to do that Reddy had ever done

to that Dog and then he would have
known just where Reddy was. For q

Dog looked over to the Great Rock. He
saw reddish spot in the brush there,
but it didn't move SO it meant nothing
to him. 1t might be some newly fallen

At last he turned and once more be-

that lost trail. Reddy sighed with re-

n IGVER had Reddy Fcx felt more
n uncertain what to do He want
VI ed to run. 1t seemed to him
i that he couldn't stay there do
ing nothing another minute
Yet he had feeling that the best
thing, the really wise thing. to do was
to stay right where he was. You re-
member that he was lying on a great
rock in the middle of the Laughing
Brook while on the shore Dog was
hunting for him.
That Dog was persistent Most Dogs
would long ago have given up trying
to find Reddy, but not this one. In
spite Of all the tricks Reddy had tried
that Dog mad succeeded in following
him to the point where Reddy had
entered the water to get to that Great
Rock. Water holds no scent, so of
course the trail had ended right there
But that Dog knew that somewhere
Reddy had left the water and he
meant to find that place and so once
more have trail to follow.
He had worked down the shore far
below the Great Rock and finding no
trace of Reddy had returned and now
was doing the same thing above the
Great Rock. This was Reddy's chance
to cross to the opposite shore and take
to his heels. Butt seems as If there
always is q but-that Dog might take
it into his head to cross and work along
that shore. Then he would be sure to
find the trail. So it seemed best for
Reddy to remain right where he was.
1t took courage. great deal Of cour-
age, to do this. In times of great dan
ger it often takes the greatest courage
to keep still and do nothing 1t
wouldn't have been so difficult had
there been good cover under which to
hide. But there wasn't. There were
some sticks and a little brush which
had lodged on the great rock during

How 1t Started
That Word "Phlegmatic."
BY JEAN NEWTON

Today We call a person who is char
acterized by general equanamity, an i'm
perturbable coolness, even apathy, as
''phlegmatic."
II you should sense q connection with
'phlegm" which Is the term naming
mucus in the respiratory passages, you
will wonder about the bridge of mean
ing that brings US the familiar "phleg-
matte" 1t Is, however, from an older
and different connotation Of "phlegm''
that we have 'phlegmatic!"
That 'phlegm" was one Of the four
ingredients into which medieval physi-
ology divided the human body-blood,
yellow bile, black bile and phlegm. The
last was understood to be a cold, moist
element which caused sluggishness
Hence our 'phlegmatic!"
