BURGESS. ah note of llttle thmu you see; portant they may p fiead'y S EDDY is quite right about the R importance of little things. Very early in life he learned to take note of trifles, and he soon discovered that quite often what at the time seemed a trifle gave him information that led to something most important. Many times had this habit of taking notice of little things saved his life. You will agree that this was important, most important to him, anyway. And not a few times had little things led him to the find- ing of a good meal. Reddy was among those on whom the ice storm had been most severe. Getting a living in Winter isn't too easy for Reddy at best, and he works and works hard for all he gets. Mice furnish him with a very large share of his food. He hunts them on the Green Meadows, in the Old Pasture and in the Green Forest. But when there is snow, covered with an icy crust over everything, there are no Mice to catch. They are down beneath that crust, very comfortable eand very safe. Then, too, that crust 18 sMppery, which makes getting about swiftly rather difficult. And creeping noiselessly through thickets where every twig is incased in ice is im- possible. So an ice storm always means a hard time, the hardest kind of a hard time for Reddy and Mrs. Reddy and all other Foxes. Reddy was out hunting and trying not. to think of how very, very empty was his stomach. “It probably isn't @ bit of use to hunt until this ice has melted, but there is always the possibility of an unexpected chance to catch a dinner,” said he to Mrs. Reddy as they prepared to start out in different directions. Mrs. Reddy nodded. “True,” said she. “It's & slim chance, but there is & chance. That is something we haven't here. No dinner will come to us if we stay at home. Good luck to you, and if you catch a good dinner, save some for me.” “The same for you,” replied Reddy, as they separated to go in opposite directions. Reddy went straight to the Green Porest and began hunting along the edge of it. By and by he noticed something moving on the crust. It was a very small, dark something. Had you or I been there in Reddy's place, I doubt if either of us would | have noticed it. If we had, we would | have given it no attention. Reddy's eves are sharp. His wits | are just as sharp. Whatever that was, | 1t was very light, for it was being | biown along by the merest breath of Nature’s THAT IS WHAT IT 1S—A HEN'S FEATHER. moving air. Reddy stopped and for a few seconds watched it. “It's & feather,” said he to himself. “Some one of the feathered folk must have been along this way and dropped a feather. I wonder who is was. I haven't seen any one this morning. T'll just have a look at that feather.” He trotted over to that tiny moving thing. It was a feather. It was a brown feather. The instant Reddy was near enough for a good look at that feather his whole attitude changed. He stopped to look keenly this way, that way, every way. Then he went on until he stood right over that small reddish-brown feather, looking down at it. “I wonder,” said he softly to him- self.” “I wonder. This feather isn't from the coat of any of the feathered folk who live in the Great Forest. It is a hen's feather. That is what it is —=a hen’'s feather. Now how does a hen’s feather happen to be way over here in the Green Forest? Tell me that. I wonder if there are any more.” He wasted no time with that little feather, but began to move forward slowly, but carefully his sharp eyes searching the surface of the snow. Presently he spied another feather. I'm going in the right direction,” muttered he. He found several more feathers a little farther along. “Now I know,” said he to himself. “Those feathers were not blown here from Farmer Brown's henyard. No sir, they were not blown here, for there hasn't been wind enough. Somebody has caught a hen and brought it over here, and unless I am greatly mistaken, that somebody has wings. Ha!” Ahead, at the foot of a tall stump, he saw a brown mass. It was com- posed of feathers, lots of feathers. On top of that stump sat Hooty the Owl. (Copyright, 1937.) Children Tarpon (Tarp BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. ANUARY is a hectic month for many tarpon in Florida. The angler with a few weeks' va- cation and the one with the whole Winter before him, spend every waking moment trying to catch the famous leaper. Tarpon are rather nervous and | easily thrown into a panic. At night | they love to take high jumps in the air and a resounding whack assures ' you the playful fish has struck the water. Along the Atantic coast from Long Island to Brazil and especially on the coasts of Florida tarpon leap and sport to their hearts’ content. It is & very common fish in Peurto Rico, where it is said the younger genera- tion get their start in life. Reaching a length of two to six feet, and a weight of 30 to more than ! 300 pounds is enough to interest any angler. To many, the tarpon is the Silver King. What a name to live ; up to! As a game fish he reigns su- preme. Each year finds a group of ardent | fishermen fortunate enough to spend f their Winters in the South, trying to | | pass the last tarpon record. Each as- | pirant for the prize dreams of the tarpon he will hook. Hours spent try- ing to land the “whopper,” strained muscles, backaches and going with- out supper, are mere trifies, when the battle between man and fish is ra Built along streamlines, the Silver Xing goes through the water or air with speed and accuracy. rods, sharpened hooks to which new | alongside with very little resistance, | has been known to save his strength Strong | 6-foot wire leaders and swivels have been attached and the bait consist- ing of large croakers, is a grand be- | Naturally you will select the ginning. €pot where tarpon are supposed fairly to “swarm,” and believe it or not, they seem to be very friendly among them- selves and you will find numbers of | them together.

Besides, one of | his unexpected leaps may carry the | | angler into the water. When very wearied the tarpon may be towed toward the boat and brought and safely landed.

A careful study of ! this illustration will give you the out- line, the silver sheen the color. The naked head, the broad mouth with its lower prominent jaw, and the | large eyes, will recall for you the tarpon’s reputation, too. In our waters there are two genera and each is represented by a single | species. So the Silver King is in a class by himself in more ways than one. (Copyright. 1937.)

HOLLYWOOD, January 7.—Elaine Barrle, who wants “to do the right thing by John as well as by myself,” weighed an attorney's advice yesterday and denied a divorce court may end her career as Mrs. Barrymore. The 21-year-old New York theatrical aspirant still was separated from John Barrymore, her 54-year-old bridegroom, but she indicated the actor has sent a request for a recon- ciliation meeting. Meanwhile Barrymore's salary and property were attached to satisfy a $987.88 judgment for legal services given by Lawyer Stanley Arndt. Since a New Year eve party, when Elaine said John ‘“roughed me up a bit” in a cafe, the Barrymores haven't been seeing each other. It was only two months ago that they eloped. “I intend to mark time for awhile,” said Miss Barrie. “I have consulted an attorney.
