middle of that bunch of grass. It was only Il short nap. When he avohe the first thing he did was to look up the Big River. He saw two dark >uocks q little way above the surface of the Big River and they were moving very fast. Nearer they came and nearer. They were Mir. and Mrs, Quack.
 My" exclaimed Peter My, my. how fast those Quacks can move, l don't believe there is anybody else who can fly quite as fast as they. l guess they don't have 10 worry much about getting caught"
 [ Just then, Peter noticed another dark speck above and behind MT. and Mrs. Quack. At first he didn't pay any attention to it. Then he realized that it Was moving even faster than Mir. and Mrs. Qua"k. It was a member of the Hawk family. Peter stared very hard. 1t vas a stranger to him. Suddenly it came to him that the stranger was after Mir. and Mrs. Quack. and that at the rate he was going he would soon catch one of them With q little shiver of fear it came to him who this. stranger was. Tt must, be. Kill 1 rr the Duckhawk," he exclaimed under his breath. Peter had heard dreadful tales of Killer. He had heard but he hadn't believed that i Killer could fly so fast that he could catch Duck in q straightaway race, Until now, he hadn't believed 1 his, but here before his very eyes the thing was happening. My, how 1 that Hawk was moving! Peter won. dercd if Mir. and Mrs. Quack knew that they were being chased. II they didn't, Killer the Duckhawl would be sure to catch them. So far as Peter was concerned. it looked q; If it were a sure thing anyway.
 Peter began 10 dance with excite ment- He came out Of his hiding place and danced up and down or the hank. "T'ly, Mr, Quacki Fly Mrs. Quack," he cried. just as if the! could hear him. It seemed as i they did, for they moved faster thar ever. But Killer the DuckhaWk i not one to be easily fooled, He kncv that he could go faster still. and 8, he began to quicken the pace little Peter shook all oyer with excite mrnt.

 I stared at Lillian with incred- nlous amazement as she told Mary Harrison that her plan for studying in New York was n very good one. The young girls ideas were 30 evil dently the product of illdirected reading, and revealed such paucity of comprehension of what prepara- ton for real dramatic career meant that I had expected Lillian to overwhelm her with contemptuous objection. This prompt ncquiescence puzzled and alarmed me, until ] caught a glimpse of Iillian's eyes as they searched Mary's face which had lighted up at the older womans verdict. Then I knew that this seem- ing agreement was but preliminary barrage.
 "oh. I'm so glad" Mary exclaim- cd, "I vas afraid. somehow, you wouldn't approve--or understand what I wanted"
