FRANCIE FISHER'S FISH

[Illustration]

By Marion Mallette Thornton


On the Primary Room wall was a beautiful picture of a shining river.
Francie loved to count the fish that were swimming in it. Just
fourteen there were, and every one stood for a new scholar someone had
brought into the Primary Class.

How Francie wished he could bring one and have Miss Florence pin a
fish in the river and a red tag on his blouse to show that he had
caught it.

"How you s'pose I can get a fish, mother?" he asked earnestly. "I
should think a Fisher-boy ought to be able to catch just one."
