P,erhaps this is partly hcrause he is a great fisherman and to catch all the fish he likes to have he must visit many places where fish live. There are not enough fish in any one pool. or ouall pond, or small brook to keep Little Joe supplied with all he wants to cat. So he does a lot of traveling up and down brooks. along the Big River and around lakes and ponds. Little Joe had been away from home for a week or more. He had heen down to the Big River and had fished "up and down for some distance.

That means the was feeling very good indeed. llii fact, he was feeling really play- ful. Two or three times he stopped 'to slide down a tempting slope covered with just enough snow to make sliding good. Now when Little Joe had left home he had not planned to go 3away. He just kept going farther and farther until he was so far lfroin home thnt it didn't seem worth while to. go back until he ,had visited certain places where the hoped to find good fishing. He .had left Mrs. Joe at home. Now as he drew near that comfortable den in tiie liigh bank beside the deep pool, he wondered if he would find Mrs. .Ioe there. oi' if sdie might be off fishing. When he reached the big pool he dived down to the underwater entrance at the bottom of the deep pool. He swam in and up. The den was quite a little way back from the water and tip where it was high and dry. it was an old Beaver home. Bearers sometimes live in dens dug in a bank instead of in a house built out in the water. Such beavers are called Batik Beavers. What had happened to the one who had dug this fine home in the bank Little Joe didn't know and cared less. He and Mrs. Joe simply took possession when they -found it. for it was the kind of a den that just suited them. Now when Little Joe entered the comfortable bedroom he found it empty. There was noboby home. He didn't think much about it. He thought that Mrs. Joe probably was out fishing and would soon be back. He was tired, so he curled up for a nap. He took a long nap. When he awoke he was still alone. be that Mrs. Joe had gone quite a long way from home for her fish- ing. He didn't worry about her. He isn't the worrying kind. He would take another nap. So he once more curled up and went to sleep. When he awoke this time there was still nobody hnnie hut liinislef. He yawned once or twice. then de- cided he would go out and look for something to eat. He hoped Mrs. Joe hadn't caiiizhi all the fish in the nearest pools. He still didnit worry because there was nobody home. TAGGED WITH TICKET NEWS BRIEFS .
