started 10 tell. 'Nyhy, once King

Hslcyon was sitting on her nest in the
bank Of a big river terrible storm arose.
Her nest was not as secure "a she

upward slope as she takes care 20 build
Il now, 80 when the storm arose and the
water came rushing against the nest
OF Mrs. kingisher II became dislodged
and away il hoated down the river and
out 20 sea
Mr.. kingfsher who was nearby,
saw II sailing away and he tried TO
follow, but the wsiftly rushing water
soon took It beyond him and the
storm in its fury drove him back TO
the land, where he sat frightened and
sorrowful.
"But soon the dashing waves of the
ocean were calmed and Mrs King
fisher and her nest of eggs peace
fully hoated along on the sea. And
out came the sun, for It seems that
old Neptune, who rules the waters,
saw the nest and made the dashing
waves be still
by and by az Mr. kinghsher one
day sat by the place where his wife
and nest had been before the terrible
storm, he saw floating along the river
something that made him drop the

and in IL were SIX little heads peeping
out and on one side was pcrched Mrs
kinghshcr.
MIR. Kingfsher gave one loud shrek

, looking at his children and counting
them And you did not lose an egg

Not an egg" replied his wife. All

sailed way was terrible. Why, what
is the matter with your head2' she
exclaimed, noticing for The first time
that Mr.. Kingdsher's feathers were
standing straight.
i was so frightened my dear, he
replied, when ] saw you and the nest
Of eggs sailing away that it stood my
feathers on end, but if you will look
in n clear spot in the river you will
find yours are Just the same"
The nest now was resting by the
bank and Mrs. Kinghsher looked in
the clear water. Well, / must say
think il is becoming, she said.
so that is the way the king6shers
got their crest" said Mrs. Coon, and
grandmother told me also that folks
sometimes call beautiful clear days
Halcyon days because the waves be-
came calm and the sky fair for Mrs
Halycon on that terrible day when her
nest was carried out 20 sea.
Huh, grunted Mr. Coon. "Halcyon
days may mean peaceful and calm
days, but It certainly does not seem
