CHAPTER l.
The Mighty Whizz Army

"DRINCESS PEGGY, wake up!
There's an army marching byp
Peggy blinked her eyes half
open, then closed them drowsily
again. 1t was just dawn-far too
early to wake up for the day.
Princess Peggy, get up at once or
you'll miss the wonderful sight"
This time Peggy opened her eyes
wide, Then she hoped out OF bed
and to the window. General Swallow
was outside on the sill.
"Oh, are the soldier boys starting
for France?" cried Peggy.
This is a different kind OF an
army" shrilled General Swallow.
Make yourself small; your aerial
chariot will be here directly"
Peggy felt in the pockets of her
pajamas to see if she had any fairy
ring grass left. Yes. there were sew
eral blades. A nibble at one of these
and, presto! she was as tiny as Cen
eral Swallow.
Over the treetop came sailing her
aerial chariot. The same eight Scar
let Tanagers acted as its flying
wheels, while II Bluebirds were its
winged horses. The Yellow Warblers
flew beside it as guard of honor and
in the rear were the lighting guard,
the King Birds. who had whipped the
Crows.
The chariot landed on the roof of
the porch and Peggy climbed into it.
Then the Birds scared over the still
sleeping city. 1t was beautiful time
for ride in the air. The eastern sky
was just putting on its prettiest COL
ors in honor of the rising sun and
from gardens and parkways came the
morning song of hundreds of town
dwelling Birds.
There, can you hear the army"
shrilled General Swallow.
Peggy listened intently Above the
music of the birds swelled another
melody:
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty.
Of thee sing"
Accompanying the song was clat-
tering, banging and drumming,
all in perfect time with the tune,
Peggy was eager with curiosity.
She leaned over the side of the chariot
to see whence the song was coming.
