THE TALC OF !ADDY' 12 maun mm ARTHUR SCOTT EAILEt CHAPTER XVIII. Scaring Peter Mink. V "Now I've caught you!" somebody cried. And something sharp gripped one of Paddy Muskrat's legs. A; Paddy knew at once that Peter Mink had found him. He strug gled tq swim away. But Peter Mink held him fast. 'Been eating fried fish, have you?" said Peter. "I'll teach you to leave my fish alone 1" "I haven't eaten a single fish!" Paddy Muskrat said. "Well you've been frying 'em," said Peter Mink, "and that always spoils 'em for me." "I haven't fried a single fish!" said Paddv. "I've heard differently," Peter Mink jeered. "You've been telling people that you had fish to fry." "Bt I just meant that I was very ' buv," Paddy Muskrat told him. - "Well you're going to be busy now," Peter Mink remarked, as he gripped Paddy's leg still harder. "And as for your excuse I don't believe a word of it. I know you've some fish hidden somewhere and a fire, too. After Ive finished with you, I'll look for them if I have to swim up and down this pond all nip t.'' You can see how much Peter M'mfc knew about a fire. He actually thought that a fire could burn un der water. - .s All this time Paddy Muskrat was wot. tiering where old Mr. Turtle could be. He had told Paddy that he was going to stay near him, to ' help him in case Peter Mink should y'Now IVe caught yov"Some ; body cried try to hurt Paddy. And now it was time for him to help if he was going to. Because Peter was hurting Paddy dreadfully. ; Pretty soon Peter Mink fcave a groan. - . "What's the matter?" Paddy Muskrat asked him. - "It's my right hind-foot!" Peter said thickly. . . He. found it rather hard, to , talk, because his teeth were fastened in Paddy's leg. And besides that, Peter was in great pain. "Somebody must be biting your foot," Paddy, Muskrat told him. Peter tried to shake his. head. VI t hurts too much for that," he said. T Then Paddy Muskrat thought of a Way to scare Peter. - "You don't suppose you've stepped in my fire, do you?" he inquired. At these words Peter Mink turned pale. . "I'm afraid I have," he said,. "I never felt anything just like this. My foot's beginning to grow numb; and I can't move it.' . ' "You'd , better let go of me and swim away," Paddy Muskrat advised hiin. "If your other hind-foot should get in the fire I'm afraid you'd never be able to walk any more." When he heard that, Peter Mink turned still paler. . He was fright ened. And he loosened his hold on Paddy's leg. ; Paddy Muskrat hurried home to j bind up his hurts. He didn't wait to i see what happened to Peter Mink. He was only too glad to get, away from him. ' , But something happened to Peter , Mink something that surprised him. He had expected as soon as he let go of Paddy to swim to the bank and run away. But to his dismay he felt himself dragged straight down to the bottom of the mill-pond, r At first he noticed only what seemed to be a flat stone, which ap peared to be hanging from his foot. But as he looked more closely he saw that what he had taken for a flat stone was really Mr. Turtle. Peter Mink was terribly fright ened when' he saw that. He knew WHY- Are We Afraid of the Dark? (Copyright, mo. By The Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) From the earliest of times, the coming of night has been regard ed with fear, not because of the darkness itself, but because of what might happen during a pe riod when, save for artificial as sistance, man is practically blind. Sight is one of the greatest of aids to bravery,' and once this is removed or impeded, it is only natural that we should fall a prey to the terrors of the un known. In more recent years, however, night has, been robbed of many of its dangers either real or im agined by the widespread use of electric and gas lights, pocket flashlights, matches and the like. That fear of the dark is not in herent to human nature, is proved by the fact that babies will sleep in t dark room much better than In light, and that children, un less their imaginations have been stimulated by stories of the dark, .'re not afraid of it, . . In short, fear of the dark is an imaginative fear, due to the dangers which our minds con jure up, either through -tales of witches and goblins which prowl about at night, or in the case of adults, bl other and more ma terial objects which may be pres ent,, but cannot be seen. Remove this imaginative. fear; either by reasoning or the careful avoid ance of anything which might tend to give rise to' fright, and man becomes as little afraid .of the dark as are the other animals. 5WY SJ nHSR.

But all his biting only made Mr. Turtle's jaws shut tighter. Now, Peter Mink soon began to feet that he would like to go to the top of the water to get a breath of air. But Mr. Turtle seemed per fectly comfortable down there at the bottom of the mill-pond. All at once Peter said to Mr. Turtle: "Somebody took Mrs. " Turtle's eggsl"- When tie heard that, Mr. Turtle let go of Peter Mink's foot and hur ried away. " . v. Peter Mink hurried away, too. And he would have laughed, if his foot hadn't pained him so much. For it was a whole year before that Fatty Coon dug Mrs. Turtle's eggs out of the sand near the creek. You see, Peter had tricked Mr. Turtle. And Peter never went near the mill-pond for a long time after that. As I for Paddy Muskrat, he no longer talked about having fish to fry. When people asked him what he was going to do, he either told them or he didn;t. And that was the end of it. . . The End. , Copyright' Oroiset As Dunlap. 1 Common Sense Not Too Much of One Thing. I By J. J. MUNDY. You say you arelloing a certain thing for recreation, but you come home so tired and lame and sore that you cannot move without dif ficulty all next day. ' Have you ever considered that moderation is the soul of recreation? It is just as bad to be immoderate with your play as with your Work. It is penny wise and pound fool ish to spend so much time recreating all by yourself, for instance, that you neglect an occasional play spell with your family or that you have to work late at night to make up. It is fine tq be. enthusiastic and" ever,y man needs some hard exer cise to stiffen him' up for his daily grind so that he will not be a jelly fish either in body or in mind. But there is a law of reaction. - It takes sensible self-denial even in exercise to get the full benefit of the exercise. v Not only do yotl miss on the do mestic side of life when you think too much of your own personal needs in your vacational spells, but you lose in renewed vigor when you are too hard a worker in your recreating. Keen your balance at work or at play think it all out systematically and then balance it (Copyright, 1920. International Feature Service, Inc.)
