Fatty Coon Goes Fishing.
One day Fatty Coon was stroll
ing along the brook which flowed
not far from his home. He stopped
now and then, to crouch close to
the water's edge, in the hope of
catching a fish.- And one time, when
lie lay uqite still among the rocks,
at the side of a deep pool, with his
eyes searching' the clear water,
. At least, that was what Fattg
Coon thought.
Fatty Coon suddenly saw something
bright, all yellow and red, that
lighted on the water right beffte
him. It was a bug, or a huge fly.
And Fatty was very fond of bugs
to eat, you know. So he lost no
time. The bright thing had scarcely
settled on the water when Fatty
reached out and seized it. He. put
it into his mouth, when the strang
est thing happened. Fatty felt him
self pulled right over into the water.
He was surprised, for he never
knew a bug or. fly to be so strong
as that. Something pricked his
cheek and Fatty thought that the
bright thing had stung him. He
tried to take it out of his mouth,
and he was surprised again. What
ever the thing was, it seemed to be

Why shouldn't I? If I don't tell

I'd have people borrowing off me all

stuck fast in his mouth. And all
the time Fatty was being dragged
along through the water. He began
to be frightened. And for the first
time he noticed that there was a
slender line which stretched from his
mouth straight across the pool. As
he looked alone; the line Fatty saw a
man at the other end of it a man,
standing on the other side of the
brookl And he was pulling Fatty
toward him as fast as he could.
Do you wonder that Fatty Coon
was frightened? He jumped back
as well as he could, in the water
and tried to swim away. His mouth
hurt; but he plunged and pulled just
the same, and jerked his head and
squirmed and wiggled and twisted.
And just as Fatty had almost given
up hope of getting free, the gay col
ored bug or fly, or whatever it was,
flew out of his mouth and took the
line with it. At least, that was what
Fatty Coon thought. And he swam
quickly to the bank and scampered
into the bushes.
Now, this was what really hap
pened. Farmer Green had come up
the brook to catch trout. On the
end of his fish line he had tied a
make believe fly. with a hook hid
den under its red and' yellow wings.
He had stolen along the brook very
quietly, so that he wouldn't frighten
the fish. And he had made so lit
tle noise that Fatty Coon never
heard him at all. Farmer Green had
not seen Fatty, crouched as he was
among the stones. And when Fatty
reached out and grabbed the make
believe fly Farmer Green was even
more surprised at what happened
than Fatty himself. If the fish hook
hadn't worked loose from Fatty's
mouth Farmer Green would have
caught the queerest fish anybody
ever caught, almost. 1
Something seemed to amuse Farm
er Green, a he 4fittchcd Fatty dive
into the bushes; and he laughed
loud and long. But Fatty Coon
didn't laugh at all. His mouth was
too sore; and he was too frightened.
But he was very, very glad that the
strange bug had flown away.

Golf and Business.
Going the rounds is a story to the
effect that, an employer looking for
a man for a responsible position
took the applicants who were golf
players to the links to try ihem
out.
The man who played a good game
only when he was in the lead
showed that he was not the man to
put up a business fight if things
went against him for a while.
When a man missed a putt and
began to swear and cuss everyone
but himself he decided that that fel
low would blame others for his mis
takes in business.
The man who lied about the rrinn
ber oi strokes he took to make a
hole would lie about his record to
make it look better.
The man who gave up trying to
get out of a bunker and playvd his
ball lengthwise to the end of ob
struction would not stand up well un
der adversity.
The man who gave up trying to
hold down the number of his shots
after getting a high score on two
or three holes would give up in the
same way under hard competition.
But the man sufficiently master of
himself to keep smiling and trying,
even after a few dub shots, was the
fellow to deliver.

WHY-
Do Objects Turn Yellow
From Age?
When we say that something is
"yellow with age" we refer either
to an object composed of vegeta
ble matter or use the phrase in
its metaphorical sense for,
strictly speaking, only vegetable
matter turns yellow with the pas
sage of time, as is evidenced in
the case of paper, cloth or leaves.
The yellow tint, therefore, is not
dependent upon age, but upon
what the object is formed of.
In the case of a leaf, the color
ing matters or pigments undergo
a chemical change as the months
pass by, splitting up into a num
ber of other shades in which yel
low predominates. So also the
majority of other things which
grow yellow as they grow old do
so because of the production of a
yellow pigment formed by one of
the substances contained within
them, an absence of fresh air and
sunshine often hastening this
chemical change.

HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
Why Madge Was Startled at Sight
of the uuice.
Dicky made record time on the lit
tle trip whose destination I sus
pected to be the railroad ticket of
fice, came back into the house as
surreptitiously as he had left it and
went directly to our room. His
usual luck was with him, for his
mother sewed oh placidly, supposing
him to be packing,' and it was only
when he passed the window I over
looked, fors the second time in re
turning that I ventured to make any
change jn my owq position which
might attract the keen observation
of my mother-in-law.
"I think I'll go to see how Dicky
is getting along" I remarked, casual
ly, rising and putting up my work
"That's the first sensible thing I'vel
heard you say today," his mother re
torted. "You'll probably find him
wrapping his golf sticks in his dress
shirts. I wish you'd keep him busy
long enough for me to go down to
the ticket office and back."
Dicky's Ruse.
"Oh, Mother!" I exclaimed, a bit
startled, and wondering if Dicky
really, had been ahead of her. "Do
you think that's wise? Are you
strong enough yet?"
"Fiddlesticks 1" she retorted tartly.
"1 walked farther than that yester
day, and you know it. And I'd go
there if I had to crawl. I'll teach
that boy he can't pull the wool over
my eyes, not as long as I have my
five senses intact."
"I don't think he tries to. Mother,"
I said loyally, but observing a sus
picious glance turned in my direc
tion, I added hastily: "But I'll en
gage to keep him safe until you
come back. Shall I take Junior
with mc?"
"Richard Second will come with
me," his grandmother replied, lofti'y,
and I hurried out of the room, lest
I betray my '. amusement at her
bumptiousness.
"Dicky 1" I rushed into our room,
and seized him by the sleeve to at
tract his attention, which was cen
tered frowningly on his trunk.
"Your mother is going to the rail
road station right away." -
He looked down at me with
twinkling eyes.
"Haven't a bit of faith in the old
man's ingenuity, have you?" he
asked. "And yet, I distinctly saw
you watching me when I beat it cit
of here this morning! Don't worry,
old dear! Those chaps down there
are my pals. She'll get an earful
about the reservations being piled
up. That's no kid, either. I was
the luckiest devil to get ours in. To
day there isn't enje ahead for a
week. It's the rumor of the railroari
strike that has done it."
"But you could have secured them
for " I began.
"Granted but I didn't. "What
are you going to do about it?" he
demanded, impudently.
"This." With a sudden impulse I
went over to him and kissed him.
"T'm awfully glad you managed
tilings so we could have this little
excursion. I'll get through the
pp.ckiiiT some way. a'id did want to !
take this canoe trip before 1 went i
back."
A New Menace.
"It's something you'll remember
all your life," Dicky prophesied,
"and you'll be glad your husband
had sense enough to overrule you."
I remembered his words, and
echoed them assentingly the next
morning when Dicky escorted me to
the boat landing upon the Lumbee
river about a mile away, where the
start with the canoes was to be made.
The stream was far different in
appearance from those of the north
with which I was acquainted. The
water was dark and sluggish, almost
sloomy, closely shadowed as it was
by a dense primeval growth of oak
and holly overhanging cypress. But
as we reached it we had started be
fore sunrise the first rays of the
sunlight touched it, gilded it, trans
formed it until I caught my breath
f t its weird beauty. I squeezed
Dicky's arm ecstatically. He smiled
down at me understanding-.

said lightly, but there was that in his
intonation which told me that his
beauty-loving soul was as deeply
moved as mine. i
We advanctd slowly toward the
low rustic pier where the canoes
were drawn up ready for embarking.
In each canoe stood a man in woods
men's habiliments, evidently guides,
and mv fears for the safety of the
expedition suddenly fled as I notedl
the air of absolute efficiency which
radiated from each, and saw the lines
of the small craft they were to guide.
"They're more like flatboats than
canoes," Dicky said in my ear, "al
though, of course, they're propelled
by paddles. But there's absolutely
no danger. Do you see that tall,
lank man, typical Yankee, with the
shrewd kindly face, in the third
boat , That's Jim Pierce, our guide,
about the best on the river, too. No,
you're not looking at the right man.
Why, what's the matter?"
For I had unconsciously swayed
agaiV-st him, clutching nervously the
arm against which I was leaning.
But I pulled myself together, an
swering casually:
"Nothing now. I was a bit dizzy
for a second, but it is gone. What
a nice face- that Mr. Pierce has!"
"He's a fine old boy," Dicky as
sented enthusiastically, and I drew
a breath of relief. I
He evidently had no suspicion of
the real cause of my little panic, and
I studiously kept my eyes averted
from the man, thc sight of whom
had caused it. But in my conscious
ness was ever the thought that the
guide in the (boat next to ours was
the man named Tim, who had
brought me the message from Grace
Draper.
