By and by a pair of legs begin to stick out from under its vest. These it uses for a time to kick with, and then moves them up close to its collar to make way for its long and esculant hind legs It is then that the little bright eyed fellow disclaims any further relationship with' his tail, and even goes so far as to cut its acquaintance entirely, and quits the water forever escept for bathing purposes.
