would have either to climb the bank

fences. They look to me as if they
had been built just to make me go
through one of those little gateways.
If that's the case, I'm not going to
do it."
So Billy plunged into the Laugh
ing Brook and swan out in the deep
water around the end of the little
fence. Then very carefully he ap-
preached the little opening from
that side. The more he looked at
it, the less he liked it. Right in the
middle of that little opening were
some wet, dead leaves. "Ha, hal"
said Billy. Another trap!"

The religion of the Mongols,
Lamaism became the official religion
about 1894. It's teachings are against
war, learning. enterprise and am
bition. Monasteries sprang up like
magic and now at least two-thirds
of the male population have donned
the red and yellow robes of lamas
and become lazy, human parasites,
mentally and morally degraded.
Most Of the lamas have only the
slightest impression of what their
religion is all about. The Mongols
are superstitious and fanatical, but
not very religious. They live q hard,
nomadic life and things material
are necessarily important.

After he had discovered the trap

After he had discovered the trap
set for him at the entrance to one
of his favorite holes in the Laugh
ing Brook and had fooled the trap
per by getting the fish the trapper
had placed in that hole, Billy went
on up Laughing Brook to see what
else he could discover. Not very far
above that place there was a steep
bank on each side of the Laughing
Brook. Along the foot of each bank
was a narrow strip Of level ground
between the bank and the water.
You see, at this season Of the year

was low.
When Billy came to this place he
discovered something queer. It was
little fence. 1t ran from the foot
of the bank straight out into the
Laughing Brook to where the water
became deep. Midway in this little
fence wes gateway just big enough
to slip through comfortably. Billy
looked across to the other side of
the Laughing Brook. Over there
was another little fence just like this
one and that little fence had an

But Billy Mink isn't this kind of
a person. My, my, should say not!
He never has been. If he had he
would have lost that beautiful
brown coat of his long ago, and
there would be no Billy Mink. Billy
has his share of curiosity, but with
it he possesses great big lump of
suspicion. When he finds anything
new and strange he wants to learn
all about it. But right away he is
suspicious of It.
