He is also armed with strong grappling hooks on his abdominal segments. When he has reached the time to assume adult duties, he uses these hooks to clear| away the silk garment he has worn. He rises to the surface of the water or | to the surface of the soil, and rests. In a short time, the skin upon his thorax separates and the grown-up midge escapes and goes to the dance.

BURGESS, With odds against you be disereet; You lose no honor In retreat d Man Coyote. T WAS a queer game that was be- ing played in the Green Forest, with a good dinner to reward if one player won, and life the re- ward if the other won. Who were the players? Why they were Old Man Coyote and a well-grown young Otter. Perhaps I shouldn’t call it a game. It wasn't & game to Old Man Coy- ote. One is supposed to play a game for the fun there is in it, and there was no fun in this for Old Man Coy- ote. He wanted and needed a din- ner too greatly for there to be any fun in trying to catch it. On the other hand, I suspect that it may have been a game to the young Otter, at first anyway. I suspect he got a lot of fun out of it. Had you been watching it, you probably would have called it a game of guess. Yes, sir, I am sure you vould have called it just that. Each o1 the players was trying to outguess the other. Old Man Coyote was trying to catch the young Otter. The young Otter was trying not to be caught. He would plunge into the deep snow and disappear. After Old Man Coyote had learned by experience that it was would try to guess where the young | Otter would pop out of the snow and to be there waiting for hin. The young Otter would try to guess where Old Man Coyote would be waiting. Then he would come up somewhere else. Old Man Coyote was in deadly earnest and refused to be discouraged. After a while the young Otter began to grow tired. He began to think he might have to fight for his life. He didn’t want to if he could help it, but he would if he must. He was no cow- ard. There are no co\.rds in the | Otter family. He never had had to fight for his life, but he would if he | must. Perhaps it would be best to do |it before he became any more tired | playing this game of hide-and-seek. | Had Old Man Coyote been young like himself he wouldn't have hesitated, | useless to try to dig after him, he | { him out,” |zrm.ed his teeth. | Then he'll have to fight. All I ask is to get him cornered where he’ll have to fight.” 0Old Man Coyote Is Discreet. made him savage. The young Otter knew that just irom Old Man Coy- ote’s appearance and the persistence with which he kept trying to catch him. grew with every failure to catch tnat young Otter. The New 1937 FIGHT AND OLD MAN COYOTE SAW IT IN HIS EYES. teeth drove him to keep on trying. As for Old Man Coyote, his rage The ‘esire to get his HE HAD MADE UP HI” MIND TO into that sleek, plump body “I'll tire said he to himself as he “I'll tire him out. young Otter suddenly turned and with arched back emitted an angry challenge, half scream, half whistle, as he faced Old Man Coyote. The lat- ter's ears were laid back, his lips drawn back to show his long teeth, and the hair along his shoulders and back raised to make him look bigger than he really was. He snarled. It was an ugly sound. He was trying to frighten that young Otter, 0 make him turn at the last minute and try to run awsy. It would be easy to jump on him then. But as Old Man Coyote slowly cire cled, watching for a chance to leap in, the young Otter also turned, 50 as always to face him. He showed no signs of fear. He had no intention of trying to run.
