Mrs. Quack sat there quietly for q
long time. The Black Shadows came
creeping out across the Green Meadows
and through the little swamp. It grew
quite dark. Mrs. Quack grew hungrier
and hungrier. There had been nothing
further to indicate that Hooty the Owl
was around. For all she knew, he might
be far away In the Green Forest by this
time. Still, she remained on her nest.
"Oh, dear, how l want that corn!"
said she to herself. Il suppose it is
silly Of me. not to so get it. Somehow
/ have feeling that Hooty is sitting
in tree not far away, waiting and
watching. I don't know why 1 have
that feeling. but do. So here 1 am
Suddenly, without the least warning,
the voice of HoOty the Owl rang out.
1t seemed to Mrs. Quack that 1t was
right In her very ears. Really, 1t was
from a tree between her and the edge
of the Smiling Pool. In spite of herself,
Mrs. Quack moved ever so little at the
sound of that sudden terrible hunting
call. She touched a dead leaf and It
ruStled very family. Nevertheless, a sec
almost over Mrs. Quack. She looked up
into his great savage, yellow eyes, and
it seemed to her that they were glarinR
right down at her. Had she moved
then, it would have been the end OF
her. Had so much as one of her small
feathers stirred, Hooty would instantly
have seen her. But she didn't move.
And being in the Black Shadow under
the broad skunk cabbage leaves, Hooty
failed to see her. He passed on, turned
and went back to the tree from which
he had come.
Twice after that Hooty sounded that
savage hunting call. But Mrs. QuacE
was prepared and she didn't move
particle. So far into the evening she
continued to sit-hungry-but not dar-
ing to move. It wasn't until a very
late hour that she heard Hooty's call
far away in the Green Forest and knew
that he had left. Then she ventured
out to get her dinner.

Edith Armstrong had surely had q
long siege of sickness. For weeks and
weeks she had been lying fiat on her
back in the hospital. Now She had
reached the point where she could sit
up. Life began to take on new in
terest. She asked for mirror and
brush. A new bed jacket with its soft
silk frill prompted her to ask for a
little tuck-in pillow. But while life
began to get roster, her appetite still
Jagged. Nothing tempted her. Even
though the nurse told her she must
eat to get strength and even though
the nurse fixed the most tempting of
trays, the food still went almost I'M

One day when Nancy called she
watched Edith pick at her food and

Nancy had an idea. When she
reached home she called the caterer.

for the assassination? Did his courage
fail him OF did he receive some warn
ing of serious consequences to himself
If the project went through.
Such history as is available records
that Richelieu never dreamed of the
deadly peril through which he had
passed. But this does not fit the char
acter of the man. He who suspected
everybody certainly must have made
fitting deductions when he saw four of
his worst enemies lettering in his path
that day.
BY what means did he thwart their
designs? What psychology did he en-
force that stayed the signaling hand of
the Duke of Orleans? No one knows.
His death would have been disastrous
to the France of the seventeenth CEN
tury. His survival meant that the royal
power would be absolute, that the great
mobiles would be compelled to submit to
the crown. and that France would again
become supreme in the councils of Eu-
rope.

hungry as l am now. think Ill start
in just few minutes"
Mrs. Quack was just preparing to
leave the nest when those quick watch
full eyes of hers saw a shadow pass just
little way beyond her. Instantly she
looked up to see what had made the
shadow. A moving shadow is some
thing to be suspicious of. At least, 1t
is TO all the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. Mrs.
Quack looked up just in time to see
a great, broad-winged bird outlined
against the sky. There was no sound
OF wings. Had that bird been a shadow,
1t could have been no more silent.

tered Mrs Quack under her breath. II
wonder If he has kept on, or If he has
come over to the Smiling Pool to hunt.
1t looked to me as If his wings were
set to alight somewhere near. 1 have
feeling that he is already sitting in
the top of tree very near at hand.
Oh, dear! What did he have to come
now for? I want my dinner and don't
dare move with him around"

the undoubted smartness OF the black

aside of this rule in many instances.
But the brides mother ought not to
wear black If for no other reason than
that it strikes too sharp a note of con-

We suggest q bolero frock of gray

The beginning of the reign Of Louis
XIII of France saw a struggle for Su-
premacy over him between his mother,
Marie de Medici, the queen regent, and
Cardinal Richelieu.
1t did not last long, for the King,
though weak, was intelligent enough to
know that the interests Of the kingdom
were best understood by Richelieu.
Marie retired not only from the King S
counsels, but from the court and from
France. In the end she was to die in
poverty.
While the struggle lasted, she was not
alone in her enmity toward the cardinal.
Her son, the Duke of Orleans, who
would ascend the throne If Louis XIII
died without issue, also hated the &C.
clesiastic, whose genius was making him
the foremost statesman of Europe
When every other struggle to dislodge
Richelieu had failed, he resolved on as

to kill his enemy as he came from the

The duke enlisted the services of two
OF his gentlemen for the murder. They
were to deal the fatal blows.

Mrs. Quack had sat on her eggs all

Whenever any of my children begin
idly drumming with their fingers or
tapping with their toes, say, IF you
must tap, tap tunes" They are only
too glad to do this. It consists Of
thinking of some popular or patriotic
piece of music and making 1t evident

who calls out the name first Is privi-

dressed and the sea was rough

ing in the dining salon and when
: she heard that Black had ap-

A sidelight to the tragedy was
that the publisher had given
away his two lucky gold pieces
before he sailed on his last ad-
venture.
Gave Coins to Pilot
After flying back from New
port to the airport at North
Beach he had given his two
taNsmen coins to william l..
Cleveland, his private pilot.
These gold pieces had accom-
panied him in his flights over
the jungleS, deserts and the
strange places OF the world, total
ing 12S, 900 miles in the air.
Although Black was q strong
swimmer and it stiIl is possible
a passing boat might have picked
him up, hope was about given
up this afternoon that he would
ever be found alive.
However, three planes left the
North Beach Airport today to
search over the lower bay. They
kept in constant communication
With the sahalo which was also
searching the area.
The tragedy recalled another
sudden disappearance Of q well
known wealthy international fig.
tre---Captain Alfred LoewenStein,
Belgian financier, who wa s
drowned after falling out Of a
plane in the English Channel.
Both Air Enthusiasts
While there was no hint Of
suicide in the case Of Black, there
were coincidental similaritieS in
the general circumstances sur
rounding the two tragedies.
Both were aviation enthusiasts.
Both were suddenly missing
from their own vehicles Of
pleasure.
In both cases, it was their va
lets who discovered their disap-
pearance.
Both had worked their way up
from the bottom to become i'm
portant capitalists.
In both cases, the sea was
cornbed for days for their bodies.
Paul Patterson, president of the
Baltimore newspaper in which
Black owned a controlling inter
est, was in New York today aid
ing in the search. He said:
"Mr. Black was in normal
health and, Of course, there is
no theory Of suicide. He ap-
parentIy fell overheard when
