NOT FOXD OF MUSIO. 



He was eveu more tame than the other fishes. The boys could 

 take him in their hands and lift him nearly out of the water. 



They played with the fishes until dinner-time, and declared the 

 sport much better than catching them with a hook would have been. 



"Are all Cape Cod fishes tame, like these?" asked George. 



Uncle Charlie smiled again. " l!f o, indeed ! JS^obody ever catches 

 fish in this pond ; but along our coasts thousands and thousands 

 are caught every summer. Probably you have eaten many of 

 them." 



NOT FOND OF MUSIC. 



Charlie was a King Charles spaniel. He was a very pretty 

 dog, with silky black hair, drooping ears, and bright brown eyes. 

 He would sit up and beg, would run after a ball and bring it back 

 in his mouth, and would ride on a sled or in a toy express-wagon. 



Charlie had only one trouble. He was very jealous of other dogs 

 and of cats. When he went to ride he would bark at every dog 

 that came near the buggy.
