"FLYING FEATHERS'

"Clouds !" shouted Billy, and that ID
what the fog really was.
As they were riding the wind itself.
there was no rushing breeze to make
them think they were travelling at high
speed. Indeed, they seemed TO be Just
floating up there without moving.
The air began to get very cold, and
Peggy, smuggling into the down on the
blue feather, was glad that she was
wearing her winter coat. 1t began to
grow darker, too.
"That means we are getting away
up north where the days get very,
very short In the fall until there isn't
any daytime at ALL" shouted Billy %
her. when she spoke about this.
Presently the feathers began to sink
lower, and after a while Peggy and
Billy found themselves among other
feathers--white feathers. ''Snow "
shouted Billy, and SO it was.
They dropped almost as fast as the
snow, until they were below all the
clouds. As they kept dropping they
saw two birds wearily flying beneath
them. The birds were so busily search
ing the land with their eyes that they
never saw Peggy and Billy.

That is Just the way Peggy did feel,
and she felt it more and more as her
feather bobbed and tossed gently in
the wind. '....
Suddenly Billy gave an excited
shout We're being blown south" he
said. 1--WE aren't going toward Santa
Claus land at all.
"And we are being carried over the
lake." added Peggy.
The breeze, growing stronger every
minute, was whisking them far above
the tumbling waters. But at the same
ime they were going up and up and up,
And they were going around and around
IN dizzy whirl. Soon Billy gave an =
other shout.
I'VE are going north" he said, "go-
ing north on the wings of the wind"
So it seemed. They had risen above
the swirling southbound breeze and
we're being carried in the opposite way
by one of the swift currents of the up
per air. Far below them they could see
the trees and houses along the shore,
but they were going higher all the time,
and soon all beneath them was hidden
by masses of white fog.
