Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

When Blacky the Grow said to
himself that he guessed he would
take pity on Bowser and help him
out of his trouble, he knew that
he could do it without very much
trouble to himself. Perhaps If there
had been very much trouble In IT
Blacky would not have been quite
so ready and willing. Then again,
perhaps 1t isn't fair to Blacky to
think that he might not have been
willing. Even the most selfish peo-
pie are sometimes kindly and un-
selfish.
Blacky knew just where the near
est house was. You can always
trust Blacky to know not only
where every house is within sight
of the places he frequents, but all
about the people who live in each
house. Blacky makes it his buSi-
ness to know these things. He
could, if he would, tell you which
houses have terrible guns in them
and which have not. 1t Is by know
ing such things that Blacky man
ages to avoid danger.
eff that dog knows enough to
follow me, I'll take him where he
can at least get something to eat"
muttered Blacky. ut won't be far
out of my way, anyway. because
If he has any sense at all, I won't
have to go all the way over there"
So Blacky spread his black wings
and disappeared over the treetops
in the direction of the nearest farm
house. Bowser watched him 60 and
whined sadly, for somehow it made
him feel more lonesome than before.
But for one thing he would have
gone back to his bed of hay in the
corner of the sugar camp. That
one thing was hunger. 1t seemed
to Bowser that his stomach was so
empty that the very sides of it
had fallen in. He just must get
something to eat.
So,' after waiting a moment or
two, Bowser turned and limped
away through the trees, and he
limped in the direction which Blacky
the Crow had taken. You see he
could still hear Blacky's voice call
ing "caw, cav, caw," and somehow
it made him feel better, less lone
some. you know, to be within hear
ing of voice he knew.
Bowser had to go on three legs,
for one leg had been so hurt in
the fall over the bank that he
could not put his foot to the ground
Then, too, he was very, very stiff
from cold and the wetting he had
received the night before So poor
Bowser made slow work of it, and
Blacky the Crow almost lost pa
tience waiting for him to appear.
As soon as BowSer came in sight
Blacky gave what was intended for
CHEEKY cav, and then headed
straight for the place he had started
for that morning, giving no more
thought to BowSer the Hound. You
see, he knew that Bowser would
shortly come to a road. eff he
doesn't know enough to follow that
road he deserves to starve," thought
Blacky. Bowser did know enough
to follow that road. The instant
he saw that road he knew that
if he kept on following it, it would
lead him somewhere. So with new
hope in his heart Bowser limped
along.

These fisheries were perhaps
the most important factor IN the
overthrow Of Charles I, whose
attitude toward the development
Of home and colonial fishing was
most unreasonable. When the
Dutch herring fishery had at

the same time another restric-
