from the far side a low "Quack Quack"
reached Peter. He looked eagerly in
the direction from which the sound
had come. Presently he saw a black
form moving out where it was lighter.
He knew that it was Mr.. Quack. Be
hind him was another. and this he
knew was Mrs Quack. And then there
followed another and another and an
other until Peter had counted ten
ducks almost as big as Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack. He gave a funny little gasp.
Where did they come from" he de-
handed Did they come up from the
sunny South to join Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack? And where are the little
Quacks?"
Paddy laughed right out Those

Peter allowed that he never did. In

ducks following Mr. and Mrs Oua ok
were really the same funny little fuzzy
babies he had seen a few weeks before,
and he wouldn't believe it until Mr..
Quack led them all over to where he
was sitting and introduced his family.
Then Peter had to believe.

FRENCH DEPUTIES CONVENE
Chamber in Secret Session Expectet; to Be Long One-Forty-on Inter- pclIatiOns for Ministers.

Paris. Nov. 2S, 10 a. m-The cham Der of deputies meets today in secret session for the second time since the beginning of the war. The first ses- sion was held from June 16 to June 22 of this year, and ended in a vote of confidence in the government. The senate held a similar session a few days later and concluded its sitting in similar way.
 The session which begins today is certain to be long one, as forty-one interpellations are to be put to min isters and almost every question vital to the conduct of the war is to be raised. One of the chief subjects to be discussed will prove, it is under stood, to be the general policy in the conduct of operations and the ques- tion of effectives The latter problem was touched on in the chamber a short time ago when the war min ister asked authority to take a cen- sus of the class of 1918. The auth ori- ty was granted after Premier Briand asked the deputies to refrain from discussion which, he said, might en- danger the military interests of the Allies.
