Tingallng and the twins were sitting on an Island on Ripple Creek and the fatrymim was talking. "Before we go to Torty Turtle'o house to collect his rent," sold ho to the children, "I wish to give you some good advice." "To take perfume along?" asked Nancy, "like did to Snoopy Skunk's house."

"It's Torty Turtle, isn't it, Mr. Tlngaling? 'Do you suppose he heard what you said?" The falryman turned very red for he was wondering, too! He knew exactly what the Poll-parrot beak could do It It got mad. Besides he didn't want a ducking. (Copyright, 1920 N. E.
