BEDTIME STORIES
BY THORNTON
W. BURGESS

Peter looked as if he felt wee bit
foolish. Il suppose you came from
your Winter home down South, said he.
That's very good guess, Peter"
replied Mrs. Quack.
well. YOU know what I meant" said
Peter. II meant, where did you come
from lust now? How was 1t that l
didn't see you before Honker and MS
flock left?"
DO you really want to know" asked
Mrs. Quack mischieVously.
"Of course I do" replied Peter.
MRS. Ouack chuckled softly. You
didn't see us because you saw only what
YOU wanted to see," replied she. You
were looking at Honker and his fock
and thinking of Honker and his mock,
so YOU saw no one but Honker and MS
flock. We were right here in Paddys
pond all the time"
But didn't see you in the pond yes
terday," declared Peter.
I'VE were not here yesterday. That
is. we were not here until just about
dark. That is when we arrived" ex-
planned Mrs. Quack.
oh" said Peter. 81 was away from
the pond for little while about that
time. Did you have a pleasant journey
I'D from the Sunny South?"
"A lot pleasanter journey than we
used to have in the old days" replied
Mrs. Quack. "You have no idea what
a relief it is to be able to drop into a
pond for bit of rest, or bite to eat,
without being met with terrible guns.
It used to be that we nearly starved to
death on our way North because OF
the hunters with the terrible guns. But
now they let us alone in the Spring
They make up for it in the Fall and
early part of the Winter and 1t Is pretty
terrible. But in the Spring we can fly
without fear of being shot, and that is
as it should be. You see, most OF my
family are mated when they start North.
In the old days many. many, many
homes were broken up before ever they
were built by the killing Of the mated
ducks"
Are you going to stay with us this
year, Mrs. Quack?" Peter inquired.
II think not, Peter" said she. II
have sort of a longing to get farther
North. I wouldn't be surprised, how
ever, If some of the family were to
build here"
IT hope they WILL" said Peter. "Are
any of your relatives headed this way?"
Eyes. Beauty the Wood Duck and
Mrs. Beauty are working this way" re-
piled Mrs. Quack. "0f course, do not
know that they will stop"
IT hope they WILL" sighed Peter.

Honker in the lead. Soon they were
spread out in the shape of the letter v,
with Honker at the point. He was lead
ing the flock straight north.
well" said Peter somewhat mourn
fully, II guess it's going to be pretty
lonely around here"
What makes you say that?" asked q
voice back of him.
Peter whirled in great excitement
There had been familiar sound in
that voice, so he wasn't much surprised
to see Mr.. and Mrs. Quack the Mallard
Ducks swimming in Paddy's pond.
Where did you come from?" he cried
excitedly.
Nov, Peter said Mrs. Quack, where
do you suppose we came from?"

It was very early in the morning OF
the day after the silly young gander
had so nearly been caught by Yowler
the Bobcat that Honker the Goose sig
nailed his flock to take wing. Peter
Rabbit was over there at the time.
Indeed, Peter had not been back to his
home in the dear old Briar Patch since
Honker and his flock had arrived.
Good by" called Honker as he took
wing.
"Good-by, take care of yourself" re-
piled Peter.

leaving the theater we're expressing
this opinion: Never have we seen
such movie entertainment before
that made us feel that we were in
the legitimate theater.' And as one
Of the group remarked, This talker
sells them to me in the future
And I subscribe to the statements
of that group on leaving the Palace.
It goes without saying that Norma
Shearer has established herself on
the screen as a talking actress, who
is as smart and as clever with tam
TALKING situations as Ina Claire is
upon the stage. And that is some
statement. I did not care for Miss
Shearer's work in the movie talk
ing version of The Trial of Mary
Dugan." I cared for about nothing
in that version but Mrs. Cheyney''
is different.
The work OF Miss Shearer as Mrs.
Cheyney. the clever thing who
works the society racket at house
breaking. reveals comedy, dramatic
and facial power that she was never
suspected OF having.
And Basil Rathbone in one leap
from the legitimate stage has placed
himself mighty close to the throne
of John Gilbert. No kidding. Rath-
bone can act and how he can talk
in character.
And Just as fine in its way as the
work of the two stars is that of Her
bert BunSton as Lord Elton. The
lord in this case is quite an ass. And
he acts it that way. jolly fun.
Must also place importance upon
the clever work of George Barraud
as Charles. the gentleman butler
who trained pretty ladies and
clever gents to be crooks. Quite
a Pagan IS he.
Thu. photography is excellent. the
recording and sound reproduction Is
as good as we have had.
II you desire the SmarteSt evening
of fun that YOU have had in the
theater this summer, then go tc
Loew's Palace this week and see
The Last OF Mrs. Cheyney.'

This talking picture must be
judged by the man who is starred. 1t
is his type of entertainment.
The director has been wise in re-
producing the theater of flying. And
he has a story that will permit him
to do that.
Boyd is cast as one Of those men
Who did roal flying for MS country
in France. Even during war time
Boyd had way with the ladies.
After the war is over Boyd be-
comes a commercial aviator. But the
thing he loves most in his life is his
brother. just a kid who feels that he
has a right to spread that sex stuff
in a juvenile way, nigh and hand
some.

FUEL SHORTAGE IS
 BLAMED IN CRASH
Empty Gas Tank As Plane Dives
 and Kills Two Pliers

New Preston, Conn. July lF- An empty gasoline tank was blamed today for 2o0-foot nose dive which yesterday carried an air mail pilot and a 19-year-old boy to their deaths.
 The plane was an old one that Gordon Spencer Whitley, 19. of Kearny, N. J., had bought for $500 and reconditioned himself. He had rebuilt the motor and refined and re- coated the fuselage.
 Started on Visit
 Yesterday, Gordon and Martin F. Brown, 34 of New Brunswick, N. J., who recently married Gordon's sis ter. Eleanor. took off from Metro- politan airport. Newark, N. J., to visit Gordon's brother, Philip, and his aunt, Mrs. Oscar Swanson.
 Philip Whitley saw the plane come into view and cruise about as if in search of the Lake Waramaug field here, he said. He signalled the the field.
 The plane banked to the left. The fuel supply gave out then, it is thought by Clarence M. Knox, state aviation commissioner, and George D. Pranitis, state aviation inspector, who in their inquiry noted the empty tank.
 The ship went into a nose dive, with no power to right it's course. It buried It's nose in the ground. Brown and Whitley were dead when they wero removed.
 The plane had double controls and Philip Whitley said he could not tell whether his brother or Brown was at the stick.
 Star of School Team
 Gordon Whitley was star on the Kearny high school football team in 1926 and 1927. Despite the protests of his parents, Mir. and Mrs. Nils Whitley, of 67e Belgrove drive, Kearny, he left school to become an aviator.
 Brown as mail pilot had his headquarters at Hadley airport, South Plainfield, N. J.

ring whom we all should guess. He handles a popular make of automo- ible, one which the editor hopes to buy when his ship comes in. The kind of car was one of the earliest makes surviving the competition which has been so marked in the automotive world for the past 20 years. He sells other cars which are classified as non-competitive to the higher priced ones. He is a busi
 ness man of rare foresight and uses the Herald to make known bis wares: You don't have to tell him that the Herald's circulation is over 15,000-he knows it by the re- suits he gets. He has a place Of business on East Main street, and

CANOE FOUND ADRIFT

West Haven, July LP-A canoe containing a mans trousers and sev- eral articles of clothing was found drifting in Long Island Sound near Stratford Sunday by T. J. Bonnet of New Haven.
