In no other way could I account for the way he lad found us at the Catskills. after the skillful manner in which Harry Underwood had thrown him off our trail on the Boston Post road. He could not possibly have trailed our car in that mad dash through little used roads which had brought us out upon the road to Kingston. Yet he had appeared at the Has brouck home but a few hours be- hind us. That must mean that he had spent some of the intervening time in getting into communication with someone who knew of our des- tination.

Unc' Billy Possum was certain that pretty soon he would find the nest of Mrs. Quack the Mallard Duck. In fact. he had no doub- whatever. He had followed Mrs. Quack down the Laughing Brook tc the Big River. The water was shai- low in the Big River for some dis tance along the shore below where the Laughing Brook entered. h this shallow water grew wild ric, ,. It was already beginning to show The old stalks of last year forme1 browns clumps. It was a wonderful hiding place for water-loving birds A couple of Jerry Muskrats rcla- tives had built houses there.
 Unc' Billy gtood on the shore and thought to himself that here vas just the kind of place a DucK would like for nesting. He had lost sight for the moment of M- Quack, for MT. Quack was slipping about among those brown clumps and it was hard to keep track of him. But presently Unc' Pilly saw him again and he still appeared to have nothing in particular on his mind. He was preening his feathers and taking a great deal of care il doing so. Then what do you think he dida Well. he settled himself for nap. Yes. sir that is what he dil l.
 Unc' Billy Possum was disgusteI He didn't want Mr. Quack to 20 to sleep. But there was nothing ha could do about it. Perhaps after all it was a good sign. Perhaps Mrs Quack was close by What would be more natural than for Mir QuacN to take nap near the place wher. his mate was sitting on the eggs So thought Inc Billy and felt bet ter for thinking it. Just back a lit- tle way on the bank was a tree. Cnc' Billy climbed the tree an l crept cut on d branch, where h, could look do"n on Mir Quack. It was a splendid -lace to keep y,atch. H. could look down among tho<g cid clumps of wild rice in all di- rections. His eyes elcamcd with eagerness. He felt sure that Mrs. Guack was hidden down there somewhere and he felt equally sufs that the instant she moved he would see her.
 But time slipped by and nothing happened. MT. QuacK continued to sleep. Once Unc' Billy saw a Musk rat swimming. Finally, Mir. Quack awske, shook out his feathers, raised himself on the water and Tapped his wings.

Babies Eyes

Babies Eyes
 One of the most common forms Of unnecessary and avoidable blinG- ness is the result of an eye disease acquired by the baby at birth or during the firnt weeks of life.
 This afflction nearly always could have been prevented by the use of certain eye drops. It usually IS called babies sore eyes" Physi- clans call it Ophthalmia Neonato- rum.
 It be gins with a redness of the eyes. The lids become swollen and pus is discharged from between them. If this condition is neglect eG iE the beginning, it becomes much more difficult or even impos- sible to cure later on.
 So-called home remedies should never be tried on a case of babies sore eyes. The risk is too great. Proper medical treatment should be secured at once, or the eyes may be severely damaged so that, even IL COlllplSlC DlllluucSo uoSp INV lC- suit, sight may be greatly impaired.
 Enough damage may be done by this disease in one day to make 1t impossible, even with the greatest care, to prevent total blindness.
 About 50 years ago, Dr. Carl Franz Crede of the University of Leipzig found that if the doctor, nurse or midwife who takes care of the baby when it is born would put a few drops of a certain silver containing solution in the baby'5 eyes immediately after birth, this would prevent the disease in prac- tically all cases.
 In many states such preventive treatment is now required by law.
 As d result of the widespread use ol these drops" a reduction dur nG the last twenty years of ap- proximately 6s per cent in the num- Ter of blind cases resulting from Ophthalmia Neonatorum is reported by an organization gathering such statistics.

But his efficiency to- sether with his assumption. uncon- scious but irritating, that 1 was in the eight-year- old class as far as taking care of myself went, had rasped my nerves inordinately. And, at his last proposal, that his wife should accompany me on my wall; which he had already mapped out on paper. I had hard work to keeE them from snapping. For a second l saw red, and could have annihi- lated him with the nearest weapon. Then the mood passed, and I was properly ashamed of myself, my only consolation being that he could rot possibly know of my secret ir- ritation.

 "Of course, of course" MT. Train agreed heartily, and I've really outlined this very clearly, I don't believe you can go wrong"

 The Start of Walk

 The walk which he had outline for me was a surprisingly long one, and I had the sense of throw ing off depressing burden as walked briskly along with the as. surance that I would tramp two miles at least before coming back to the Train domicile.
 The Puzzle
