and stood motionless, looking, listen

where Farmer Browns boy was
hidden.
Then Farmer Browns boy stepped
out in plain sight. With a roar OF
swift wings the Ducks were in the
air and away over the tree tops to-
ward the Big River. Farmer Browns
boy grinned bit ruefully.

back after awhile, and when they do
they'll find that am really a friend.
There can't be much food here for

over to the Big River to eat; there
are too many hunters over there"

carrying and began to scatter corn

of the pond. blacky the Crow,
watching from a tree top, chuckled.
He understood what Farmer Browns
boy was doing. In a few minutes
Paddy the Beaver popped his head
out of water, took one good look at
Farmer Browns boy and swan

BLANCHE RING

Blanche Ring has had three Cor is
it fourD husbands in such rapid sue
cession that the effect from a dis
lance seems scandalously simulta
neous.
In fact life for Miss Ring has been
just one husband after another. but
then Miss Ring is an soptimist.
However. somebody has described
an optimist "as a person who doesn't
care what happens just so it doesn't
happen to him." and in this case the
husbands have happened to Miss
Ring.
I've known some of the lovely
lady's husbands and yesterday l met
the very incest one of them lal, Mr..
Charles Winninger, who is just the
cleverest and most attractive young
man I've met in many moons. but
then, of course, you know all that,
because you probably saw him your
self last night in The Broadway

Well, he's lucky man. is this Mr..
Charles Winninger. I'm say he is,"
and when l say lucky" l really mean
it. because there is but one Blanche
Ring, the adored favorite of Broad
way and Birmingham and every

I've been very lucky about meeting
the Ring" family, let's see. l know
all three of the wonderful girls
Blanche, the queen of them all; Julie
and Frances, whose husband is the

Meighan; and there's a brother, Cyril

girl who plays $50 Long Lefty" you

Farmer Browns Boy.
Finding that the hunter over by
the Big River reminded Farmer
Browns boy of the pond of Paddy
the Beaver deep in the Green Forest
and that every spring and every fall
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack, the Mallard
Ducks, and Honker the Goose and his
family spent a few days there on
their way TO and from the Far North.
1t was little early for the Honker,
but Mr.. and Mrs. Quack might have
arrived.
Il must go over and find out"
thought Farmer Browns boy. THAT
hunter may take it into his head to
visit that pond, and wouldn't have
anything happen to Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack for the world
So the first opportunity he got
Farmer Browns boy started for the
pond of Paddy the Beaver. BlacRy
the Crow saw him enter the Green
Forest and silently followed. This
time he had no terrible gun. Instead
he carried bag full of something.
Blacky was curious about that ba <
and what it might contain.
AS he drew near the pond Farmer
Browns boy stepped very carefully.
He has learned how to walk without
swapping stick or rustling leaf.
Slowly and carefully he stole for
ward, until from a little clump Of
young hemlock trees he could peep
out and see all over the pond OF
Paddy the Beaver. Paddy was swim
ming out to his food pile with an
aspenbranch. Lightfoot the Deer
was drinking, standing with his feet
in the water on the further side. And
down al the lower end near Paddy's
wonderful dam eight big birds were
swimming about. They were Mr.
and Mrs. Quack and their family.
For a long time Farmer Browns
boy watched them. How can any
hcdy want to kill Them" he NUT
tered IF they were really needed
FOR food that would be different. Any
one can take life, but no one caL
give it back. When think of all the
terrible guns waiting for them all
along the way to their winter home
in the Sunny South l wonder if any
of them will ever get there. l don't
see how they got as far as this. That
they have proves how smart they
are"
He reached out for a little stick
md broke it. 1t made only little
map, but instantly Paddy the Beaver
Tapped the water with his broad tail,
