At last the young Frog was al- most to the bank of the Smiling Pool. It was high time, for the young Fox was almost within a jump of him. The young Frog made a'loiig dive over the bank. He had no time to see where he was going. or if there was any danger there. He cleared the bank. and dived into the water close to shore. Also. he was close to an enemy he had long watched for.

The latter had been standing in the water waiting for a fish or a Frog to come within reach. The young Frog dived head-first into the mud where the water was very shallow, It was within reach of the long neck and bill oi the big Heron. Like a flash he drove that long bill down into the soft mud. Mr- Know-it-all had made his last dive.

HIANGE BUT TRUE

Poor roads were a great hind- rancc to travel in pioneer days. and the first settlers in the island built their humble homes by the sea. or on rivers. Of course, the great forests boasted many trails, mostly the work of our Micmac Indiana who used them for travel- ing long distances to visit their friends. or when they set out in hunting expeditions. When the white settlers moved in. these trails were widened and blazed so that a cart might be drawn along the route. The swampy sections were filled with logs and stones to keep the car! from sinking into the mire.

The Island was so thinly popul- ated. and the inhabitants so poor, that little in the way of road ini- provemcnts could be undertaken at that time. Until the Canadian National Railway railroad was completed. stage coaches were the principal means of transportation. On the longer ruiis. horses were chamzed several times.

One of the old stayzot-out-h l'fIllll'5 was between Stininicrsidc and Charlottetown, via Boiishaw and Cornwall. A reminder of those days is the old l)illl('an House

In recent years. some fairly good roads have been built but lack of revenue means that most of our byroads never will be hard surfaced.

Getting a doctor was quite I problem. especially after I bliz- zard. The roads being impassable the farmer folk had to break trolls across fields. cutting up: in all the line fences that barred their advance.
