Spotty the Turtle had invited Peter Itebblt to go with him for lunch, and Peter was delighted. “You show the way and I'll follow,” said Peter. "All right.” replied Sppotty. "You keep right at my heels." Now Spotty was sitting on the end of a partly sunken log In the Smiling Pool, where for some time he had been taking a sun bath. No sooner were the words out of his mouth than he dived off the end of that old log Into the water. Peter, sitting on the bank, waited for Spotty's head to ap pear above the surface. He thought Spotty was going to swim over to the bank where he was sitting and that then they would go together for Spotty to get his lunch. So unsuspectingly Peter waited and waited for Spotty's head to pop out of the water. He waited and waited and waited hut there waa no sign of Spotty the Turtle. “This Is queer," muttered Peter, growing more and more Impatient.

Spotty's bright, little eyes were twinkling, but Peter didn't notice this. Before he could find his own tongue Spotty spoke: "Why didn't you come, Peter?" he asked. "1 waited and waited and waited." "You mean I was the one who waited and waited and watted," re torted Peter. "Where have you been all this time?” "Why,” replied Spotty, appearing to be very much surprised at such a question. "I have been having my lunch. Where did you suppose I had been?" "Your lunch?" cried Peter. "What kind of a trick have you been play Ing on me? You invited me to go along with you, and then you went DOUGLAS ST~ ® There’s Individuality in These New Modes Autumn Pumps Footwear of smartest appearance, built with the idea of combining graceful appearance, comfort and per fection in fit in every pair.

You asked If you could go along with me. and I said I would be delighted to have you. You didn't come. That wasn't my fault. I went straight, from this old log to where I knew I would find something to eat. and I didn't hurry1 either. In fart. I waited for you. All you had to do was to follow me."
