Tito Frying Flying Fish
ACHOSS tho broml ocean willed tho
littlo sailboat carrying Peggy, Billy,
Polly Wisher tho goblin, tbo cnptlvo
maid nnd tin 'ocolnto-colored youth.
Tho Btonn had cleared nwny nnd tho
inTislblo sailors had again sunken out
the sails to catch, tho fresh brcczo.
Tho storm had loft them plenty of
water to drink, but now all began to
fel very, vory hungry. They remem
bered they had no food on board tho
sailboat. It would bo ns bad to starve
to death aa to dio of thirst.
"Oh, I wish wo would como onto a
good big dinner out hero In tbo mlddlu
, It tho ocean," wished Peggy.
As Peggy spoko her wish, Folly
Wisher pointed to specks skimming over
tho water.
"5co the birds," cried Hilly. "Wo
ean't bo far from Innd If thoro nro birds
fl(nn. n limit."
Folly Wlshor laughed,
i "Thoso nro birds without feather V
ho chuckled. "They nro flying fish."
Peggy nnd Billy had nover seen flying
fish, and they looked cngorly,
"What makes thorn tly?" asked
Peggy. Folly Wisher chuckled.
"What makes nn nlrnlnno fly?" ho
askcil. "Its engine makes It go fast,
end then its wings keop it from fall
ing. That's tho way tho flying fish Hy.
They go fast, then leap from tho water,
and then (heir finny wings keep them
from tumbling until thoy havo gono a
long way."
"They seem to lo running nwny from
tometlilng," saidBilly.
"To bo suro they nro. That Is 'why
they are Hying," said Folly Wisher.
"They aie running nway from big fish
that want to cat them." Then Peggy
nnd lllllv saw tho waters swirling 1m
liinil t!i Hying fish. Tho water was
MIrling because a school of big fish was
clinsing tho Hying fish. Tho big fish
would run on nnd iilmoot catch tho
lljlng dili. then tht flying llsli would
dart into the nir nnd go Hying along
until they lout their speed, when they
would drop back into tho wntcr agnln.
"Those poor flying fish! I wish thoy
would get nwny from tho big fish,"
cried Peggy.
And that wish wni grnnted. Tho fly
ing fish, ranking a frantic leap from
the water, enmo streaming toward tho
sailboat. Thov landed on tho deck,
Kerflop! Kerflop! Kerflop!
Then something strange hnppericd.
Tho flying fish vanished. Whcro they
went Peggy nnd Billy didn't know, nnd
If Folly isher knew ho only chuckled.
But Peggy nnd Billy, the captlvo maid
and the chocolate-colored youth quit
wondering about tho flying fish very
Sulcklv. From tho cooking galley of
io sailboat came very appetizing smells
smells that told them n lino meal wns
being cooked.
"Hurrah I Hurrah ! Wo thought wo
were put of food, but the invlsiblo snll
ors wcro only fooling us," cried Billy.
And so it teemed, for soon a most
delicious meal was spread! beforo them
a meal of fried fish.
They all pitched into the fried fish,
and it was tho best fried fish they hail
ever eaton.
When thoy had eaten nil the fish
Peggy sat back contentedly.
"I wish I know what became of those
flying fish," sho sighed. 'Folly Wisher
laughed.
"l'ou had the meal you wished for,"
he Said. "Whv should jou worrv about
the flying fish?"
Then Peggy knew In a flash what
had become of tho flying fish. When
they landed on board tho sailboat the
invlsiblo sailors had caught thorn and
fried them for their supper.
Thoy sailed and they sailed until
I'epgy grew tired of sailing.
"I wibh we would come to land,"
'ho said. And they did como to land,
but it was nn odd kind of land, us will
be told tills coming week.

Wanamaker's Down Stairs Store
Our entire stock, Including nil the reserves, is now
lowered in price. This menns plenty of hnmmocks for ns
littlo ns $10, $12.50 nnd $16.
The couch-hammock senson is really just begun: the
wholo Summer nnd Autumn nre beforo us. Think what
comfort, rest and real happiness $10 invested in a couch
hammock will give ! Probably no other investment can give
so great a return in service, for every one of these ham
mocks is made as strong and durable as possible.
The Best Possible Basic Features
nre the same throughout nil the hnmmocks from the $10
kind to a handsome one nt $27.50. It is impossible to gel
stronger, more durable hammocks. They have strong
angle-iron frames, galvanized springs and thick chains
(with extra lengths for very high ceilings).
One splendid feature, especially where there are chil
dren, is that the chnins extend all the way down to the
springs, in back as well as front, so that there is no strain
on the side fabric.
Covernings are of remarkably good quality. Even the
$10 hammocks are covered with genuine weather-resisting
, duck. Mattresses are thick and comfortable enough to be
1 used for sleeping purposes. Many people will ure these ham-
1 modes as beds on sleeping porches.
27 Different Styles Now $10 to $27.50
(Hammocks are all fully 6 feet long, unless otherwise specified)
Khaki or gray duck hammocks, $10; with headrests, 5-foot khaki or gray duck hammocks with upholstered
$12.50. backs, $18.
5-foot khaki or gray duck hammocks with exceptionally Khaki or gray duck hammocks with upholstered backs,
thick mattresses, $10. , $22.50; with headrests, $24.
Cretonne-trimmed gray or khaki duck hammocks with Cretonne hammocks with upholstered backs and many
side pockets, $12.50; with headrests, $15. ' special features, $25; with headrests,. $27.
Striped duck hammocks, in green, brown or blue, with upholstered backs, $27; with headrests, $27.50.
While there is splendid assortment and quantity, the low prices argue that the best choosing will be in the
morning. Telephone and mail orders will he given careful attention.
Please note: As a kind is sold out, it will be impossible for us
to replace it and, although there aro as many as 40 hammocks of
borne kinds, we cannot promise all kinds all day.
Also, a few of these hammocks aro slightly mussed because
they have been used as floor samples, but this has been considered in
the lowering of their prices.
Couch Hammock Stands, $5.50
Of strong angle iron, finished in green, with floor braces, they
aie nice for people who want their hammocks on the lawn or like
to move them along tho porch.
Stands of round iron, finished in gray, khaki or green, are $8.50.
These aro all for G-foot hammocks.
