Sammy Jay Talks With Mir. ouaek
sy rNoRNToM W. svNaEss

When Sammy Jay exclaimed so joy fully that he was so glad that he had found Mir. Quack, funny look passed over Mir. Quack's face. You see he wasn't at all sure about Sammy. He knew what mischief makers all the Jay family are, and he felt uncertain as to just why sammy was 50 glad. He was suspicious of Sammy. Yes, sir. he was suspicious of Sammy Jay. That k what comes of getting bad name. If you get bad repatriation, which means being known as doing had things, people doubt you when you are trying to do something good.
 "Quack, quack," said Mir. Quack in . low voice. "Why are you so glad to have found inc q Is it to get me into more trouble by letting the hunters know where ain" .H
 For just second Sammy's quick temper flared up. "No, it isn't!" he snapped. Il may have done some mean things in my life, but I never have done a thing like that. I'm gald found you because Mrs. Quaek will lie glad. I have been looking for you for her, and so has my cousin, Blacky the crow"
 "Why hasn't she been looking for me herself instead of leaving it for you to do?'' inquired Mir. Quack, still little suspicious.
 How could she?" inquired Sammy. scornfully. You ought to know if anybody does that it wouldn't be safe for her to come anywhere near the banks of the Big River because of the hunters with their terrible guns"
 That is true," admitted Mir. Quack. :..0f course. she couldn't come looking for me while the hunters are about. But, if you will excuse me, Sammy. just why were you looking for meig
 Didn't just tell you it was for the sake of Mrs. Quack:" Sammy's voice was still sharp. You see he felt that Mir. Quack still doubted him. No one likes to be doubted, especially when try ing to do a kindness for another.
 Mir. Quack sighed. T suppose you will stick to it," said he. You must exc ,se me for seeming to doubt you, Mir. Jay, but cannot remember that any of your family ever tried to help me before, while do remember very many times when members of the Jay family have made, a great deal of trouble for members of my family. Now if you will tell me where the earn est hunter is you will take a great load from my mind, and will be ready to believe anything you tell me"
 Did you hear me scream a little while ago and right afterwards the bang of terrible gun?' asked Sammy.

STORY

they turned at once back to the middle of the Big River where Mrs. Quack was calling to them. But l didn't wait to see because I was afraid that that hunter might be so angry that he would shoot me- So flew over here to get out of his sight, and that is how I happened to find you. You look rather thin and poor, Mir. Quack."
 "Why shouldn't I look thin and poor:' replied MT. Quack. Don't you would look thin and poor if you were almost starved!'
 q certainly would.'' returned Sammy Jay. Haven't you been able to find anything to eat?"
 Not much" said Mir. Quack. You see this very good hiding place in here, but it is no place at all to find food. haven't dared to leave here for fear one of those dreadful hunters would find me and | would rather starve to death than be killed by one of them. If could fly it would be different
 Cant you fly? Oh. Mfr. Quack, I'm so sorry," cried Sammy, who could think of nothing that could possibly be worse than not being able to fly.

 A sudden thought came to Marian. By the way" shETasked, did you get Mir. Sumnef on the phone?"
 No, he was out. But l got his landlady. She will tell Mir. Summer of fathers illness as soon as he comes In. I do not know when that will be, but of course he will come right around to see how father is." as9#As
 T hope he does not land here just as the two doctors arrive this eye ming" Marian remarked. ''So longt am going for my walk. I simply will not stay indoors torturing myself with my thoughts" %sS
 She was aware that, for foolish in- stanf, she had an impulse to remain at home on the chance of seeing Harold Summer. She wanted him now that she was in trouble. The thought of his Sentleness, of his ready sympathy, ap- pealed to her.
 But she would not yield to this i'm pulse. Lois would wish to see him. too. It would only 'start something" if she, Marian, asked for few minutes alone with the clergyman. And to re- cAive his expressions of sympathy while Lois sharp eyes were upon her would be most unsatisfactory.
 As she walked, she turned her thoughts into less disturbing channels. She knew that she was on the verge of some unusual experience. She must not let her imagination anticipate it.
