8 WHITE and GOLD the shelf, moving laboriously upon his dried up tube feet. llI heard you talkingfl he said, lland came down to l' HKeep away from my jarl', cried the trap-door spider, tlyoulll scratch the paraiiin off my labelll and the starfish stopped and stared with all his eyes spots at the rows of shining jars. uMy stars! how smart you all do lookll, and as he gazed admir- ingly, a weak voice spoke up from one of the dissecting pans 011 the table: ltWell, I suppose you all have your troubles, but I canlt help feeling dreadfully cut up over my treatment this morningf, and with a sigh it sank back in the formalin. A vigorous scratching noise was heard, and the horned toad emer- ged from the sand 111 the yellow dish that was surrounded by a wire screen. uPm tired of this, he said shortly. HWhy don t you do something? For 111e, I intend to get out of this place of tormentfl With this he lurched against the wire screen again and again, until he had pushed it over the edge of the table, and then, through the hole thus made, he dropped upon the floor. There he paused, looked up at the astonished specimens and said: uThere! did you see that? Its a good thing to have a little com- mon sense? With which wise remark the horned toad started off in quest of freedom and new adventures. The frogs in the tin can had been too much occupied with their own squabbles and grievances to pay much attention to outside affairs, but the daring act of the horned toad excited their interest, and they listened with much sympathy as their unfortunate fellow specimens told their tale of woe. At its conclusion the frog leader said: ttDear fellow creatures, we feel deeply for you, and would be very glad to help you. As you doubtless know, we are musical people and fre- quently give open air concerts. Perhaps if we were to sing to these mortals in your behalf, they might be more merciful to yoqu This plan met with unanimous approval, and it was decided to have the concert in the morning when the mortals assembled in large numbers. So in the morning, until the appointed time, nothing was heard from the frogs beyond a little preliminary tuning up. When all the mortals had assembled and the room was hushed, the frogs began. There were solos, duets, trios and whole choruses, separate or blending together in wonderful profusion, and sometimes in several keys at once. They sang the woes of their fellow specimens in low gurgles of pity and sympathy; or soared aloft iu the expression of the joys of living in the open air. They threw themselves into the song with such abandon that the laboratory fairly rang. When a rude jerk startled them and they were thrust out into the hall with no thanks, no signs of appreciation, but another demonstration of the right of might.
