HOME AT LAST

However slowly you begin; rrsistenee in the end will win. -Old Mother Nature.

Little Miss Elver was a persist- cot small person. Yes sir. she was so. For more than a year she had been swimming. she wasnlt just idly swimming about in one neighborhood. it was nothing at all like that. All the time she was swimming away from the place where she had been born way out in the Great Ocean. She was bound for a certain particular place. but where that place was she hadn't the slightest idea. All she knew was that she had to keep swimming. and keep swimming she did.

For a whole year and longer she was swimming in the Great Ocean. Some of the time the water was quite smooth. though never uite still. Then she and her mi lion brothers and sisters swam near the surface where they could feel the warmth of the sun. There they soon learned to watch for danger from above. for at all times in daylight hungry feathered hunters were flying overhead. hunters with never wholly satisfied appet- ites for baby eels.

Little Miss Elver learned to stay just deep enough to be safe'from them. But she wasn't safe from hungry fishes, big fishes, middle size fishes. and small fishes. some not so very much bigger than her- self. But she was lucky. No hungry bird caught her. No hungry fish gobbled her up. And sot at last she came to water that was sweet instead of salt. It was the mouth of the Big River.

She kept on swimming. She did it because she couldn't help it. Often she stopped in what to her seemed like nice places for an Eel to live. but the stops were short. She just had to go on. She didn't know why. All she knew was that she must go on, and go on she did. She just had . That was all there was to it. had to.

It was a long journey and a ham journey up the Big River. There were places where the water was Very. very swift. called rapids. it took her a long tiresome time to set above these. And there were dams she had to get over or around. She. did it. She was per- sistent and persistence can do al- most anything that oan be done.

one day as she was swimming on up the Big River near one shore she came to a small current of water that was cooler than the water she had been swimming in.

Little Miss Elver turned up Laughin Brook. She didn't know just why she didn't stay in the Big River and keep on up it. Per- haps it was because she liked the water of Laughing Brook. Anyway she turned up it and as she slowly

As little Miss Elver entered the smiling Pool a strange thing. a very strange thing happened. She knew that she had re ” d the end of that long. long Journey from far out in the Great Ocean. She knew it because that mighty urge to keep on going left her the in- stant she entered the Smiling Pool. She was home at last and she knew it without knowing how she knew it. or caring in the least. There was something strangely familiar about the Smiling Pool though of course she never had been there. Perhaps it was the Smiling Pool remembering that
