It seems that • years ago. 1939 in fact, 'two smell boys at Holmesville (Bill Palmer and Walter Jervis) wandered off down 'to the river (the Maitland at Forrester's Bridge) as small boys will come the spring 'time; The ways of small boys, and the oPerations of their mental processes, we fail to under- stand, but for some reason this particular pair succeeded in capturing an old turtle. They hauled him out of his watery mudhole home and lugged him home in triumph. To avoid confusion in the following paragraphs, we will call him Theodore, the Terra- pin. Their diabolical plan was to polish. Theodore off and use his shell as a trophy. But this plan was disrupted by a non-under- standing adult, who ordered them to return Theodore where they found him—or else! 'The boys did return him, but they had bored a bole in his carapace, and inserted a. piece of wire from which dangled a copper 1939 dog ilce ice! The last glimpse the boys had of old Theodore, he was paddling along • as fast as .e could go with - fishes fol- lowing in his wake, attracted by the .glittering copper wire. So far-this is not-such a re- markable story—but listen to the. epilogue! Last summer, while fishing around the same old mudhole, Bob Jervis came across Theo- dore himself, not leaking a day Older, and still sporting the 1939 copper clog tag licence: We 'speculate uporehow. Theo- dares life must., have been changed for better or for worse by this'terrible appendage, ea. quired in such a frightening manner. Did he strut among his 'turtle-kind, a king apart, re- counting his adventure? or did he hide forever unnerved, away from all lesser favoured Testu- denatas! . The truth of this tale of 'the dog-tagged turtle . is • beyond question.
