Peggy blinked her eyes half open
then closed them drowsily again. 1t
was lust 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.

and, presto! she was as tiny as Gen.

over the treetop came sailing her
aerial chariot. The same eight Scar.
| let Tanagers acted as its flying
wheels, while twelve Bluebirds were
| its winged horses. The Yellow War
blers flew beside it as guard-of honor
and in the rear We're the fighting
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 it's prettiest col.
ors in honor of the rising sun ana
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. it's of thee,
| Sweet land of liberty.
OF thee l sing"
| Accompanying the song was a clat-
tering a banging and a 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.
Below her was the city street. 1t
seemed deserted. But there was some
thing Notwithstanding like water
flowing along the pavement.
